What do I need to know before getting a septum piercing?

I think the septum piercing is great because it's one of the only piercings you can truly hide. You can always flip it up into your nose if need be! The septum is one of the thinnest parts of the body you can pierce because you’re just piercing a membrane in there. You're not piercing cartilage, so people often say it's one of the least painful piercings you can get. Still, it’s on your face, so expect your eyes to water and to have the feeling that you might sneeze.

Every piercer does a septum piercing differently. Sometimes they'll use clamps, sometimes it'll be free-handed. That's something you should ask your piercer, “How do you pierce? Are you free-handing? Are you using clamps?” This will give you a better sense of the experience.

Septums actually tend to heal pretty quickly, too. They typically take around 10 weeks to heal, which is not as long as many other piercings.
