Septum Piercing Jewelry:

The septum piercing is made through the thin layer of tissue between the alar cartilage (outer) and the quadrangular cartilage (separating the nostrils). This space of tissue is usually largest towards the tip of the nose. The jewelry should be no thicker than what the space can comfortably accommodate. Jewelry that is too thick can painfully pinch the cartilage. If the space is small but the wearer desires a thicker gauge, the piercing should be performed at a thinner gauge and later stretched. Septum piercings can easily be stretched after healing. If the piercee anticipates wearing spikes and tusks the piercing should be made low enough to allow the jewelry to fit comfortably below the nostrils. Please refer to Part 2B of the Piercing FAQ for descriptions of different styles of septum jewelry.
