What Is a Septum Piercing?
A septum piercing passes through the soft tissue (often called the "sweet spot") just beneath the cartilage that separates your nostrils. Contrary to popular belief, a correctly performed septum piercing does not usually go through the thick cartilage itself.
Because the piercing is placed through this softer area, healing is often quicker and more comfortable than many people expect.
Our experienced piercers carefully locate your anatomy's sweet spot to ensure the best possible placement and healing.
Why Choose a Septum Piercing?
Septum piercings have become one of the world's most popular facial piercings thanks to their versatility and style.
People love septum piercings because they:
-
Suit a wide range of face shapes.
-
Can be styled with rings, clickers and horseshoes.
-
Can often be flipped up inside the nose for a discreet appearance during healing (if advised at the time of piercing).
-
Heal relatively well when properly cared for.
-
Work beautifully alongside nostril and other facial piercings.
Whether your style is bold, alternative or minimalist, a septum piercing offers endless jewellery options once healed.

Does a Septum Piercing Hurt?
One of the biggest myths about septum piercings is that they're extremely painful.
In reality, when pierced through the correct sweet spot, most clients describe the sensation as:
Pain varies from person to person, but many people are surprised by how manageable the procedure is.
How Long Does a Septum Piercing Take to Heal?
Most septum piercings heal in approximately:
2 to 4 months
Everyone heals differently, and proper aftercare plays a significant role in how quickly your piercing settles.
Septum Piercing Aftercare
To give your piercing the best chance of healing smoothly:
-
Clean the piercing using sterile saline solution.
-
Avoid twisting or rotating the jewellery.
-
Wash your hands before touching the piercing.
-
Avoid changing jewellery too early.
-
Be gentle when blowing your nose.
-
Keep cosmetics and skincare products away from the piercing.
During healing you may notice slight tenderness, swelling or a small amount of clear discharge. This is usually a normal part of the healing process.
What Jewellery Is Used?
Fresh septum piercings are commonly fitted with an implant-grade titanium horseshoe or implant-grade titanium captive bead ring, depending on your anatomy and preference.
Titanium is an excellent choice because it is:
Once healed, you'll be able to explore a wide range of decorative clickers and rings.
Can Everyone Have a Septum Piercing?
Most people have suitable anatomy for a septum piercing, but everyone's nose is different.
Before piercing, we'll assess:
-
Your septum anatomy.
-
The location of your sweet spot.
-
Previous injuries or surgery.
-
Whether the jewellery will sit correctly.
If your anatomy isn't suitable, we'll explain why and discuss alternative options.
Can I Hide My Septum Piercing?
One of the reasons septum piercings are so popular is that certain jewellery styles, such as horseshoes, can often be flipped up inside the nose to make the piercing much less noticeable.
If you need your piercing to be discreet for work, school or personal reasons, let us know before your appointment so we can discuss the most suitable jewellery and healing approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
How painful is a septum piercing?
Most clients describe it as a quick pinch followed by a few seconds of pressure. Eyes watering is very common.
Does a septum piercing go through cartilage?
No. A correctly performed septum piercing is usually placed through the softer tissue known as the "sweet spot," just beneath the cartilage.
How long before I can change my jewellery?
You should wait until the piercing has fully healed, usually around 2 to 4 months, before changing your jewellery unless advised otherwise by your piercer.
Can I flip my septum piercing up?
In many cases, yes. If this is important to you, tell your piercer before the procedure so the appropriate jewellery can be fitted and positioned.
What jewellery is best for a fresh septum piercing?
Implant-grade titanium is widely considered one of the best materials for fresh piercings because it is lightweight, nickel-free and highly biocompatible.
