Septum piercing is one of the unusual places to pierce. Many people seem to be showing a hoop between their noses.

Side Effects of Piercing

Infection and irritation: Fenton explains that the primary concern when treating an infection is piercing. Beware of redness, swelling, or increased pain. That could be a sign of infection. If you have a seasonal allergy or are prone to colds at certain times of the year, you may want to avoid piercing your septum near or at that time. If you have severe allergies or are prone to a sinus infection, you may want to avoid septum piercing.

Granulation tissue and scarring: Granulation tissue, which forms a bump and many people make a mistake with scar tissue, can form in the area of the nose piercing. This is an overreaction to the treatment process due to the area of the nose and jewelry. Scarring can also develop.

What To Do Before Getting a Septum Piercing

You will find the piercer who wants to do the septum piercing. If you are unsure how to get a good piercing, ask for recommendations from people you know who have that type of piercing.

Before you go too far, you should know if your new piercing could cause problems at work. Some business areas have strict dress codes.

If you do not have any face piercing at work, you may be ready to continue with your piercing. You may be able to put a hoop on the top to keep it hidden in your nose while you work. It is a solution that can allow you to maintain your septum piercing and job.

Before the piercing day, you may want to check that you have allergies to certain metals, especially if you seem to have a family history of allergies. You may also want to check this for yourself if you notice that a specific metal interferes with some of your previous piercings. That is a good indication that you may be getting an allergy.

You will need to go to a dermatologist or doctor’s office to have this allergy test done. While keeping in mind that if you are wearing jewelry that involves developing an allergic reaction, you will need to have it removed and replaced.

Another thing you can want to be sure of before the big day is that you are healthy enough to move on. If you have a cold or flu, you should wait until that connected nose comes out before your septum is pierced. While you can ■■■■ your nose even with a septum piercing, it may be unpleasant, especially at first.

You might have to wait until you feel well and your nose is connected not to feel miserable if you pierced it. You may also want to turn it off if you currently have any allergies that cause nasal symptoms.

How to Change Out a Septum Piercing

While you can take the septum out, you must wait at least one year to change the jewelry. You may want to see your piercer again on the first exchange. Another advantage of septum piercing is that it can be easily concealed with the right jewelry (usually a circular barbell) by simply pointing the jewelry down. However, the jewelry size and the balls can ultimately affect your breathing ability when you do that, so that’s something to consider. The septum preservative goes beyond that problem, but it is not attractive when it appears.

What Type of Jewelry is Used for Septum Piercings?

Septum clicker: These hoops include a moderate closure that opens and clicks to close the insertion and easy removal. Closed hoops usually have different stones and decorative elements on the outer edge, making them customizable.

Barbell: The jewelry of the round barbell fits well with piercing and allows you to do that simple trick to hide it without removing the jewelry.

The starter jewelry can be up to 18 gauges, but the 16- and 14-gauge suits are much better. Piercings can be extended to a larger size if desired.

What’s the best metal to use?

Most piercers use the first stainless steel because it is generally safe and inexpensive.

The Association of Professional Piercers (APP) recommends the first piercing made of any of the following instruments:

Surgical stainless steel

If it is good enough to be implanted in your body during surgery, then it should be suitable for your septum. The stainless steel provided is durable, non-abrasive, and non-absorbable and has a low level of nickel extraction. Therefore, although it contains some nickel, the process makes it safe even for people with nickel allergies.

That said, surgical stainless steel can cause reactions in a person with a severe allergic reaction to nickel, in which case titanium can be the way to go.

Titanium

Titanium is another metal used for medical implants. Piercers often recommend it, especially the first piercing, as it is completely hypoallergenic and safe for everyone. It is the best choice for people with nickel allergies.

The only downside is that it is costly.

Niobium

Niobium is like titanium and is safe for everyone. The main difference is that you do not have a designated degree of implantation, which means that surgical implants are not approved, which is not a big deal in this case. It is heavier than titanium.

In terms of cost, it costs more than Surgical stainless steel but less titanium.

Solid 14-karat or higher gold

If you choose the gold septum piercing, it should be 14 karats or more. It could be yellow, white, or rose gold. Just be sure to be as strong as gold-filled. This not only contains alloys, including nickel, but also the plating can be removed over time.

Not surprisingly, piercing for solid gold is more expensive than other metals.

Do septum piercings hurt?

Many piercings are uncomfortable. After all, the needle is pressed against your skin, and a large metal is inserted. Everyone has their tolerance, so it’s worth remembering your mind, but the septum shouldn’t hurt more than a regular nose piercing and shouldn’t go beyond the cartilage. It will be a strong bit, a desire to sneeze, watery eyes, and hopefully, it won’t be more than that.

Summary: If you want to keep the pain low, try to relax. The consensus between stabbing and piercing is that the tension seems to increase the pain.

How do I change my septum piercing?

After waiting about 6-8 weeks, you might consider changing your septum jewelry. You might consider coming back to your piercer and talking to them about it, but otherwise, it should not be difficult to do this at home.

If your original piercing is kept with balls, unscrew one and slide it. It can be twisted with a bit of stiffness, so consider going back to the piercer to make it. There are different types of jewelry, so it is worth seeking some advice, but you should try to put new jewelry in as soon as possible. Clean your hands, disinfect the area with jewelry and insert the bar through the hole before pushing it neatly. You may need to pull your nose down a bit to get it right, or it may take a few minutes to find a hole. The same rules apply to other types of rings or bars, too.

How do you stretch septum piercings?

Usually, your septum will be pierced with 16g / 1.2mm jewelry or 14g / 1.6mm. If you want to stretch it into a huge hole, you need to move very fast as the cartilage will start to move up the nose. Contact your piercer, but most people recommend waiting between four to six months before you start stretching. You have to wait a few months between the gauges, too.

There are various ways, but the most common is that massage your septum with jojoba or other oils. After that, you should get a pin to insert one or two gauges from your initial jewelry, that is, 2mm. It would be best if you pressed the pin with your septum, then insert a new plug with the most significant end of the pin, toss it with jewelry and insert it successfully. Do not go up to mm every month or two.
