Septum piercings are popular, and maybe you've decided you'd like one. Ideally, you should go to an experienced professional to get your septum pierced. This is the best way to ensure that your septum is pierced correctly and doesn't get infected. However, if you insist on doing it yourself, it's possible to do it with minimal complications or risk of infection provided you keep the piercing environment as sterile as possible.

It’s always safest to have a professional pierce your septum, but if you want to do it yourself, here’s how. Purchase sterile piercing jewelry made of a hypoallergenic material, such as 14k gold, titanium, or surgical steel. Clean your work surface carefully, wash your hands with soap and water, and put on sterile gloves. Use a sterile surgical razor blade to trim any long nose hair, then clean the inside of each nostril with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Gently pinch the inside of your nose between your nostrils to find the columella, which is the area of soft tissue just below the cartilage. This is where you will pierce. Make a dot with a surgical marker where you plan to insert the needle. Clamp the area with a sterilized piercing clamp so that the dot is visible through the holes in the clamp. Line a sterile, hollow piercing needle up with the hole in the clamp, take a deep breath, and push the needle through in one smooth movement. Put the open end of your septum ring into the back of the hollow needle, then slowly pull the needle out so that it threads the jewelry through the piercing. Secure your jewelry in place with its fastener. For information on how to keep your piercing clean by soaking it with sea salt and water, scroll down!
