In the past, this piercing held more of a rebellious vibe, but in recent years, it\u2019s become a favorite of everyone from fashionistas to business professionals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We love septum piercings because they offer that quintessential counterculture vibe, but healed septum piercings can still be easily hidden.

That\u2019s your septum. If you pinch your septum, you should feel a thin area of skin between some hard cartilage and the tip of your septum (often referred to as the sweet spot). That\u2019s where the septum piercing is placed. It is a little bit higher and a little further forward than you might realize. If you can\u2019t feel it, no worries; a qualified piercer will be able to locate the sweet spot for you.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The septum piercing is great because of the variety of jewelry styles that you can choose from, making the piercing your own. If you\u2019d like a subtler look, you can opt for a seamless ring. If you\u2019re a fan of elaborate styles, you can also choose some bold hoop looks. And, ever-popular are circular barbells with little balls peeking from the piercing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A major selling point of this piercing is that it\u2019s pretty easy to hide in a professional environment. Since the piercing is located inside your nose, you can invest in a piercing retainer to wear during the weekday, and likely, coworkers and customers will be none the wiser about your piercing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a septum piercing take to heal?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If pierced correctly (meaning through the sweet spot and not through the cartilage), your septum will only take around 6 &#8211; 8 weeks to heal at a minimum. The shorter healing time makes it one of the easier piercings to get.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Since the piercing is located inside your nose, where there tends to be some snot and other gunk, it\u2019s important that you keep your piercing clean. The septum piercing is known to develop a bit of a stink (something that\u2019s common in other piercings as well, but because this piercing appears within the nose, you&#8217;ll notice it a bit more) so you need to make sure that you\u2019re keeping the piercing clean even beyond the healing period.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22440\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Man-with-septum-piercing-and-multiple-other-piercings.jpg\" alt=\"Man with septum piercing and multiple other piercings\" width=\"1000\" height=\"832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Man-with-septum-piercing-and-multiple-other-piercings.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Man-with-septum-piercing-and-multiple-other-piercings-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Man-with-septum-piercing-and-multiple-other-piercings-768x639.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Man-with-septum-piercing-and-multiple-other-piercings-600x499.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/androgynous-male-with-tattoos-and-piercing-7452205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marlon Schmeiski<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Cleaning and aftercare<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To clean the piercing, spray a clean cotton swab with piercing aftercare solution and gently clean both sides of the piercing. or dip You should do this 2 &#8211; 3 times daily.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you start to notice a buildup of snot, dead skin cells, or crusties around the piercing site, you can soak them away with clean water or saline solution. <em>Do not<\/em> pick at the piercing.<\/p>\r\n<p>As with all piercings, avoid swimming pools or standing water, keep it as dry as you can, and avoid products like lotion or tea tree oil. Try to keep the jewelry as still as possible. If you wear a circular barbell, try to adjust it as little as possible, even if it does go askew during the day.<\/p>\r\n<p>Keep up with all aftercare practices until a piercer has confirmed that healing is complete.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.neilmedpac.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shop for NeilMed&#8217;s piercing aftercare here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why can\u2019t I get a septum piercing?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although most people are able to get the septum piercing, some anatomies won\u2019t allow for it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a severely deviated septum, you might not be able to get your septum pierced. Your piercer will be able to take a look and let you know if it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Rarely, some people don\u2019t have the thin area of skin between the cartilage and the tip of the nose (the sweet spot). If this is the case, you might not be able to get the septum piercing. Cartilage takes a lot longer to heal (up to nine months or more) so if you don\u2019t have the thin area of skin, healing will take much more time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Allergies could impede healing since you\u2019ll need to wipe and blow your nose throughout the day, which will move the jewelry around quite a bit. If you\u2019re an allergy sufferer, it\u2019s a good idea to get your septum pierced outside of allergy season.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Septum piercings are fantastic, but as with any piercing, you want to make sure that it\u2019ll be a look that you love. Consider whether you can commit to the healing period, make sure that it won\u2019t interfere with your job, and remember that you\u2019ll need to consistently keep it clean throughout the entirety of its life to avoid the infamous septum stench. If you know that you can commit to these things, then the septum piercing could be for you.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Septum piercings are among the most popular piercings today.
