Septum The Power Statement
The septum is one of the fastest-healing facial piercings and among the boldest. Properly placed, it transforms a face. And it can be completely hidden by flipping the jewelry inside the nose.

How We
Approach This
The septum piercing passes through the 'sweet spot' — the thin strip of skin at the base of the septum, beneath the cartilage. A properly placed septum piercing does not go through cartilage at all, which is why it heals so quickly. Our artists take time to locate this sweet spot precisely, as placement error is the number-one cause of pain and healing difficulties. The ability to flip the jewelry inside the nose makes this the most discreet bold piercing available.
Sweet Spot Precision
We never rush locating the sweet spot. Correct placement = no cartilage = less pain and faster healing.
Fully Concealable
A horseshoe barbell can be flipped upward inside the nostrils — completely invisible in professional settings.
Rapid Healer
Placed correctly through soft tissue, septum piercings often heal fully in just 6–8 weeks.
Step by Step
A transparent, clinical process — no surprises.

Septum FAQ
Does it hurt to pierce through the cartilage?
We don't pierce through cartilage. The sweet spot is thin skin tissue — significantly less painful than cartilage piercings.
Can I hide this at work?
Yes entirely. A horseshoe barbell can be flipped fully inside the nostrils and is not visible externally.
My septum is deviated — can I still get this piercing?
Often yes, with adjusted angle placement. We assess each septum individually during consultation.
