Septum piercing
A septum piercing goes through the soft spot of skin just in front of the cartilage — not through the cartilage itself. Placed properly it's one of the easier piercings to heal, and it can be flipped up out of sight when you need it to be.
Getting it centered and level is the whole job, so time is taken finding the right spot before piercing. Septum piercings are available to clients aged 15 and over.

Does a septum piercing hurt?
A sharp pinch and watery eyes for a moment. Most people say it was easier than they expected.
Everyone feels piercings differently. Syd talks you through each step and never rushes — and a single-use hollow needle is far gentler than a piercing gun.
Jewelry
Pierced with a circular barbell or ring in implant-grade titanium. Clickers and decorative rings are for after it has healed.

Septum piercing questions
How much is a septum piercing?
A septum piercing is $50, which includes a selection of jewelry options. Upgrades start at $5.
Can I hide a septum piercing?
Yes. A circular barbell can be flipped up inside the nose. Try to leave it in one position while it heals rather than flipping it back and forth.
Does a septum piercing go through cartilage?
It shouldn't. It's placed in the thin, soft area of skin in front of the cartilage, which is why it tends to heal faster than other nose piercings.
