What is a
septum piercing?
A septum piercing is placed through suitable tissue near the base of the nasal septum. Piercers often refer to this area as the "sweet spot." Because anatomy varies, we assess the available tissue and how the jewelry is likely to sit before marking placement.
Septum jewelry can range from a simple circular barbell to decorative rings and clickers once the piercing is ready for a jewelry change. Some jewelry styles can be worn more discreetly later, depending on fit and anatomy.
Septum piercings commonly take several months to heal. Healing varies by anatomy, jewelry fit, movement, irritation, and the individual. Septum piercings are $105–$135 with initial professional jewelry included. View the complete piercing price menu.
Septum Piercing Price: $105–$135
Initial professional jewelry is included. The final price within the range depends on the jewelry selected. Minimum age is 16+. Minor appointments require a parent or legal guardian and appropriate identification.
Frequent movement of fresh jewelry can irritate a healing septum. If you need the piercing to be discreet for work or school, discuss that with us before the procedure so we can talk through jewelry and placement options.
Placement matters: Septum anatomy varies. We identify suitable tissue, evaluate any deviation, and confirm how the jewelry is likely to sit before the procedure.
Placement &
anatomy.
Every septum is different. The sweet spot depth, the degree of any deviation, and the natural hang of the tissue all affect where and how we pierce. We look before we mark — every time.
