Septum Piercing

A septum piercing is a piercing made in the space between the cartilage and the lower nose.  At this point of the face, the pain can be very painful at the time of the piercing, but it varies according to the individuals.

It is not very common and remains very original, although it tends to be more popular lately.  Some people may be shocked by this type of piercing piercing, and it certainly can get tongues wagging – in both bad and good ways!

Less common than the nostril piercing, it is still growing more and more around the world.
