About septum piercing
A septum piercing is usually placed through a suitable area of soft tissue towards the front of the septum, rather than through the thick cartilage above it. That area differs between people, which makes an individual assessment important. The jewellery sits beneath the nose and can give a balanced central accent, whether worn alone or with a nostril piercing. A reference image can help explain the size and shape you like, but the final placement should follow your anatomy rather than a fixed distance or an identical position on someone else.
Is this placement right for you?
Think about the size of the jewellery you would be comfortable wearing day to day, as well as any workplace or activity requirements. If you need a discreet appearance, discuss that before the appointment instead of assuming every style can be hidden. Constantly moving fresh jewellery to change its appearance can irritate the piercing. Mention previous nose procedures or existing piercings when discussing suitability. Septum piercing is listed at €40; the team can clarify the available jewellery and any cost associated with your preferred selection.
Jewellery and what is included
Circular barbells and rings create different outlines beneath the nose. The starting diameter and style should suit your anatomy and allow an appropriate fit. Ask about the options available at your appointment and discuss decorative upgrades separately. Choose appearance together with comfortable, practical wear rather than appearance alone.
Looking after your piercing
Be gentle when blowing or wiping your nose and avoid repeatedly repositioning the jewellery. Follow the cleaning advice provided for your septum piercing without using harsh products inside the nose. If you are unsure how to clean around the jewellery or whether its fit is comfortable, contact the studio.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Septum Piercing: your questions
Is a septum piercing the same as a nostril piercing?
No. A septum piercing sits centrally beneath the nose, while a nostril piercing sits on one side. The different placements need their own assessment and jewellery fit.
Can septum jewellery be hidden?
Some jewellery and anatomy allow a more discreet position, but this is not possible with every design. Tell the piercer about this requirement beforehand and avoid repeatedly flipping fresh jewellery.
