Septum piercing should be done because you want to, not because you want to please somebody. Having a jewelry pierced through your nose attracts lots of attention and gossip.

Hiding Your Septum Piercing

One common problem when you have a septum piercing is how you hide it during work hours. This where retainers come in handy as you can still wear it without people really noticing it. You can still feel complete and confident without everybody knowing that it is because of your septum piercing.  So for those who are first timers in having this kind of piercing, it is best to wear a stainless steel retainer as it is advised by many. If you want to conceal your septum piercing opt for a clear or light colored retainer and stay away from dark ones.

Don’t Be Scared!

What makes people scared with septum piercing is their belief that the cartilage is the part of the nose being pierced. This is very wrong as professional and qualified piercers will do the piercing on the soft area when you gently pull the skin between your nostrils. Piercing your cartilage can be very painful, so be careful and have your septum pierced to a trusted piercer only who has successfully done it. If your cartilage is pierced, it will take a lot of time to heal whereas if the location of the piercing is perfect, it will heal in a matter of six to eight weeks.

What Does It Feel Like?

The procedure is done in a blink of an eye so you should feel a little pain just like pulling a nasal hair. Now your eyes may be a bit watery but it is normal when you feel a little pain. Piercers often use a clamp to hit the right spot for your septum piercing. When the procedure is done, make sure to refrain from moving the retainers all the time as it will delay the healing process. Avoid stretching your septum or the skin around the piercing as it may leave a permanent hole that will be very hard to hide.
