What Is a Septum Piercing
A septum piercing goes through the thin skin between the two nostrils, known as the sweet spot, just below the cartilage. This placement allows a ring or bar to sit in the centre of the nose.
Some people choose this due to the septum piercing theory, which suggests the placement may feel balanced or central on the face. Some prefer small septum styles for a light, minimal look.
Septum piercing for men is also common because the central placement suits many face shapes. The flexible entry point works well for different nose shapes and gives a balanced look.
How a Septum Piercing Is Done Safely at Our Mississauga Studio​
Our septum piercing process starts with an anatomy check. Next, we clean the nose and mark the entry point. We then place the needle and jewellery to achieve a steady, centred result.
These are the steps we follow during your session:
-
Anatomy check
We look at the soft area between the nostrils to find the right entry point. This step helps the jewellery sit straight and makes the placement comfortable for you. -
Skin cleaning
We clean the lower nose to remove oils and surface bacteria. Clean skin lowers the chance of irritation and supports smooth healing. -
Placement marking
We mark the spot where the needle will pass. This small mark guides us and keeps the piercing centred on your nose. -
Needle use
We open a new hollow needle in front of you. A hollow needle makes a clean opening, which helps your healing stay steady. -
jewellery placement
We insert the jewellery with space for natural swelling. This step keeps pressure off the skin and supports calm healing in the first days. -
Final check
We look at the angle and make sure the ring sits even. You can see the placement before you leave, and we will answer any questions you may have.

Here are a few septum piercings done by our experienced piercers using sterile tools and single-use hollow needles. Each piece of jewellery was selected to fit the client’s septum width and internal shape. The photos show clean alignment, smooth angles, and how a septum ring or curved barbell sits when the piercing is placed correctly. These examples help you picture how your own septum piercing may look when healed.

The ring follows the natural curve under the septum and sits low enough to rest neatly above the upper lip.

How to Prepare for Your Septum Piercing Appointment
​
To prepare for your septum piercing appointment, drink water, eat a meal, avoid stimulants, and clean your face so your skin is ready for the session.
These steps help your body stay steady before you visit us.
-
Drink water
We suggest drinking water before your visit. It helps your body stay balanced and keeps you relaxed during the piercing. -
Eat a light meal
A small meal keeps your blood sugar steady. This helps prevent dizziness during the session. -
Avoid caffeine right before your visit
Caffeine may make you shaky or tense. Avoiding it helps your body stay calm. -
Clean your face
Wash your face with simple soap. Clean skin lowers the chance of irritation after the piercing. -
Share health details
Tell us about allergies, medication, or healing concerns. This helps us guide you with safe choices for your session.
Septum Piercing Healing and Aftercare Steps
​
Septum piercing healing takes about 6 to 8 weeks, and aftercare steps include saline cleaning, hands-off care, leaving jewellery in place, clean tissues, and avoiding unsafe water.
These septum piercing aftercare steps guide you through the early healing period:
-
Use saline twice a day.
Saline removes dirt and sweat from the opening. This helps the skin stay calm during healing. -
Avoid touching the jewellery.
Touching brings germs from the hands to the opening. Leaving the jewellery alone supports steady healing. -
Keep the jewellery still.
Turning the jewellery breaks early healing tissue. Keeping it still lets the skin repair without pressure. -
Stay out of pools and lakes.
Water from pools and lakes can carry germs. Avoiding them protects the new opening from irritation. -
Use clean tissues when blowing your nose.
Clean tissues keep dirt away from the area. This lowers the chance of redness and swelling. -
Watch for early changes.
Look for signs such as increased swelling or heat. If anything feels wrong, you can call our studio for help.
