Do septum piercings hurt? How long do septum piercings take to heal? Here's all you need to know. Read more on Grazia.
Septum piercings are still big news, with over 300,000 average monthly searches globally and 5 million Instagram hashtags. In fact, according to, they are the most popular piercing in the world. No wonder that so many of our favourite celebrities have been known to jump on board with septum piercings over the years.
Most piercings can be uncomfortable. After all, a needle is pushed through your skin, which is then replaced with a thick bit of metal. Everyone has their own pain tolerance, so it’s worth bearing yours in mind, but a septum shouldn’t hurt much more than a standard nose piercing and it shouldn’t go through cartilage. It will likely involve a strong pinch, the urge to sneeze, watery eyes, and hopefully not much more than that.
Kelly adds, 'the piercing should never go through the cartilage as this can be damaging, there is a soft spot below called "the sweet spot" which is where it will correctly sit.'To aid healing, cleanliness is key. Always wash your hands before touching your nose, avoid twisting or flipping the septum piercing, and take care in washing the area two to three times a day with a saline solution, especially for the first eight weeks of having had your piercing.
It can take longer for the piercing to completely heal and you can change the jewellery in six to eight weeks providing it’s well-healed. You should try and leave it as long as possible, though, to ensure it's properly healed to avoid infections. As with all piercings try to leave it alone, and clean your piercing with saltwater daily.
If your original piercing is held in with balls, simply unscrew one and slide it out. It might be screwed in a little tight, so consider going back to the piercer to have them do it. There areso it’s worth looking for specific advice, but you should try and put the new jewellery in as soon as possible. Once the area and jewellery are disinfect, line up the bar with the hole before pushing it cleanly through.
