Take a Look at These Wild Septum Piercings!

The Standard

Here’s a perfect example of a standard septum piercing. Just a nice little ring is all it takes. If you like a sophisticated and understated look, this could be perfect for you.

Septum + Medusa

Here we find one of the most popular pairings for septum piercings, a Medusa (philtrum) piercing. A Medusa piercing is directly under the nose in the “cupid’s bow” indentation. Doesn’t it look fantastic?

Other Pairings

In this example we find a vertical philtrum piercing along with a septum piercing and two nasallang piercings that go through the nostrils of the nose. Why get just one piercing in that nose when you can have three!

Nostril + Septum

What else looks excellent with septum piercings? Nostril piercings! The more the merrier, right?

A Bigger Gauge

You can improve on septum piercings by gauging the piercing with thicker jewelry. Some people choose to go smaller after the piercing heals while others stretch things out. Both offer variety.

Express Yourself with Jewelry

After your septum piercing heals, you can change out the jewelry to create some truly remarkable looks. We find lovely blue-toned gemstones that dazzle here!

Big & Gauged

Here’s another look at gauged septum piercings. This individual has a very large one in his nose. It takes time to stretch it to this limit but if you are committed you can do the same!

Multiple Rings

If you’ve gauged your septum piercing, you can choose a thicker gauge ring or stack multiple rings in the piercing for a unique look. Why just one ring when you can show off a few!

Another Gauge

Experiment with different pieces of jewelry for your septum piercings and gauges and you might just find a signature look. This piece is shaped like a crescent moon.

Triple Threat

One of the most common piercing schemes for septum piercings is to have both nostrils pierced in addition to the septum. It creates a unique look and makes your nose truly sparkle.

Triple Again

We find two nostril nose piercings here that look so bizarre thanks to these sword-like pieces of jewelry that extend all the way down, past that septum piercing, to the lips. Notice that it’s the same three nose piercings as the last example.

A Bunch

This person has several nose piercings including three on each nostril. A septum ring and a bridge bar are also stabbed into the nose.

Huge Gauge

This person’s face tattoo, that says “life is strange” pretty much sums it up! We find a nasallang piercing, three nostril piercing, and a gauged septum ring that stretches extreme.

All the Classics

This person has a nasallang, Austin bar, and septum piercing. It’s getting a little crowded but it’s not too extreme.

Septrils

For people who have a gauged septum, additional piercings can be added to the septum and attached to it. As you can see here, there are three septril piercings that connect to this person’s septum. Further, there is a huge gauge in this person’s nasallang piercing.

Stacked

Do people with this many piercings get sensitive around magnets? There’s no need to stop at one septum ring, it turns out you can shove about half a dozen in there.

Never Break the Chain

In this nose, we find a lot of gauges through the nose at the nostrils and then into the septum. The chain is an interesting look here and unlike any of the other septum piercings on this list.

“Freak”

We find a couple of extreme piercings in the form of subdermal implants on this person’s head. They look like little mounds or horns. Also, take note of the three piercings through the bottom lip. There is a very large gauge in the septum as well.

Heavy Metal

The piercings through the cheek my grab your attention but take a look at that huge gauge in the nose. We suppose it’s one of the tamer septum piercings at this point but it’s still remarkable!

Look Through
