1. The Septum Piercing - Interesting Facts, Info
In the following article, you will find the most important information about caring for and changing your septum. You can read more details in the following article.
2. How much does it cost to get a septum piercing?
The septum piercing is pierced through the small membrane in front of the cartilaginous part of the nasal septum. The cost of piercing in a piercing studio varies greatly from region to region. However, you should expect prices of between 70 and 90 EURO including piercing jewelry.
3. Getting a septum pierced - procedure in the studio
As with all other piercings, the same applies to the septum: relying on an experienced pierce pays off. Only the thin skin in front of the cartilage - part of the nasal septum - must be pierced. Precise work by the pier is essential for this. To guide the piercing needle as precisely as possible, the pierce uses a so-called septum clamp.
At the thin end of these pliers, there is a cylindrical guide piece. This allows the needle to be guided with absolute precision and the piercing through the septum to be carried out with great accuracy. In addition, a piercing protection tube (receiving tube) is usually used, which exerts additional counter pressure when piercing the skin area to protect the surrounding tissue. The sterilized
initial jewelry is then inserted into the freshly pierced septum piercing hole.
4. Pain and risks of the septum
Since the septum and the nose as a whole are very sensitive, the septum piercing is one of the more painful piercings. In addition, the nasal septum is often not completely flat and thin in everyone, so it can sometimes be a little more difficult to pierce. An additional risk is that the piercing studio accidentally damages the cartilage when piercing. This can be very painful. Unlike other piercing sites, the nose is of course not completely free of germs. This slightly increases the risk of infection compared to other types of piercing. If you go to an experienced, professional piercing studio, this shouldn't be a problem. Feel free to get advice from friends and acquaintances who already have a septum nose piercing themselves.
5. Healing and care after piercing
The septum piercing usually heals relatively slowly. It only heals completely after 2-3 months. After piercing, it is particularly important to avoid touching the pierced area and blowing your nose, especially in the first few days and weeks. For this reason, it is best not to get septum piercings in winter during the cold season.
Basically, you should only get a septum piercing done when you don't have a cold or a runny nose. Swimming pools and saunas are also taboo within the first 12 weeks after the septum piercing. Once your septum nose piercing has completely healed, you can finally enjoy the full splendor of the so-called septum bull ring. The range of piercing jewelry for this type of body jewelry is particularly large.
6. Piercing your septum yourself? Better not!
Do your septum piercing? - better not.
Some die-hard try it and, inspired by this, many other people are thinking about piercing their septum nose themselves. Even though it is of course tempting to be able to save a few euros this way, we would like to expressly advise against it at this point. Firstly, it is particularly difficult to achieve the necessary precision when piercing the septum yourself and secondly, the hygiene measures are also difficult to adhere to.
If you do your septum piercing, you run the risk of seriously injuring yourself. Either directly when you do it or through an infection in the piercing you have done yourself. So our tip: don't do it and go to a professional piercing studio.
7. Inflamed septum - what to do?
The septum nose piercing is a little more prone to complications during the healing process than is the case with other types of piercing. This is not least because bacteria and germs are rife in the nose. Despite this, healing is problem-free in most cases. If your piercing does start to fester and become infected, it is helpful to spray the pierced area with Prion Piercing Spray using disinfected hands or to treat it with Stolypin wound and healing ointment. If the situation has not improved after a week, it is advisable to visit the piercing studio and seek their advice.
8. Septum piercing without pain? Fake septum piercing.
septum piercing without pain
Now that you have learned a little about the risks and side effects of getting a septum piercing, you may be undecided about whether you should get a septum piercing. But you don't have to rush into the decision because for now, a fake septum might be the best choice. It looks practically the same as a real septum piercing, but it just clips on. Another big advantage of this jewelry is that you can buy and wear it even if you are a minor. So you don't need your parents' consent.
9. Can a septum piercing grow out?
Theoretically, there is a certain chance that almost every piercing will grow out. However, with the septum, this chance is extremely low. Here, it is more important to make sure that you do not get caught in it. You should therefore be particularly careful when putting on something (for example a wool sweater).
10. How quickly do septum nose piercings close up?
Sometimes you have to take out your piercing if you have to go for a medical examination or if you want to do certain sports. In this context, the question then arises as to how long the piercing jewelry can be removed without the septum growing back in the meantime.
How quickly a healed septum piercing hole heals again varies greatly from person to person. To make sure that you can still put your jewelry in afterward, you should not leave it out for longer than 2 days.
11. Tape or remove - the septum when playing sports?
You should not do any sport in the first week after your septum has been pierced to avoid sweat or nasal mucus getting into the wound. After that, however, you can do sport without any restrictions (apart from swimming or going to the sauna - these are taboo in the beginning). Once your septum has completely healed, it is advisable to use a septum retainer. This minimizes the risk of injury and at the same time ensures that your septum piercing does not close up again. Covering it with adhesive plaster, which is common with other piercings, is not recommended for the septum.
12. Septum Piercing Man - Does a septum also suit stylish men?
As with many other piercings, the septum was originally a clear women's domain. Men tended to wear eyebrow piercings or, at most, dared to try a nostril piercing. This has changed a little since then. After the septum boom among women, more and more men are now taking a liking to it. This trend is fueled by the fact that male stars such as Bill Austerlitz and Lenny Krait also wear septum. Septum retainers and horseshoe piercings are particularly popular with men. But the more ornate Indian septums are now also on the rise.
13. Septum stinks, what to do?
During the healing phase, but also when healed, a septum can smell unpleasant. As long as the healing is not complete, there is little that can be done about it. After your piercing has completely healed, you can avoid odors by removing your piercing jewelry from the septum once a day and cleaning it with Antiseptic or Prion Piercing Spray, for example. This kills the bacteria that cause the smell. We hope that we have been able to answer most of the questions about getting a septum piercing in this guide. If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments.
14. Septum Stretching - Tips & Instructions
Septum stretching instructions
You should not think about stretching your septum piercing until at least six months after it was pierced. It must be completely healed for this to happen. A stretching crescent, also known as a stretching crescent or septum claw, is a very good stretching tool. The septum should only be expanded slowly, step by step. Here you will find instructions for stretching tunnels, which you can also use to expand
15. Buy septum piercing jewelry online - popular shapes
Septum jewelry is available in a wide variety of designs. Over the last one or two years, it has been observed that the types of jewelry that were previously rarely worn in the nasal septum are now finding more and more fans. The banana-shaped septum piercing in particular is becoming increasingly popular. But the classic shapes such as segment clickers, horseshoes, and classic piercing rings are still popular. Jewelry designers regularly surprise us with new designs and colors.
Septum clicker
The septum clicker has the advantage that it can be closed very easily with a click after insertion. This is particularly practical for the nasal septum because this is a very sensitive part of the body that you don't want to overstimulate by closing it for a long time and with great effort. Many septum clickers are elaborately decorated and designed with sparkling crystals. This variant of septum jewelry, also known as Indian septum piercings, is currently very trendy.
Septum rings
For those who like something a little more classic, septum rings are the right choice. Although this septum jewelry is available in elaborately decorated versions with glittering zircon stones, most septum rings are more classic, such as horseshoe piercings, segment rings, clamping ball rings, or continuous rings, or continuous rings in a heart shape. Here, it is the color that makes the difference. They are currently particularly popular in rose gold, black, silver, and gold.
Septum Banana
The banana piercing has only become more popular in the last two years. In the past, it was worn on the belly button or eyebrow. Now it is becoming more popular in the septum. This is probably because it is a great way to show that you are wearing a real septum piercing. Banana-shaped septum jewelry is not available as a fake septum piercing.
Septum retainer/septum keeper
Septum retainers were originally developed to protect the septum piercing from closing up. They are very discreet but still visible. In recent years, retainers have developed into a trend of their own alongside septum bananas. They are an indispensable part of septum jewelry and are now almost as popular as the elaborately decorated Indian septums.
fake septum piercing jewelry
Fake septum piercings are extremely popular, especially because the nose is such a sensitive part of the body. They look like real septum jewelry but are simply carefully clamped into the nasal septum. This gives you the look of a real septum without any pain. Fake septum piercings are therefore the ideal septum jewelry for anyone who is too young for a real piercing or who does not want to have a piercing hole pierced for personal reasons.
