septum piercing info. please?

I think you would look great with a septum piercing. It would suit you very well.

It's somewhat of a "wet place," but not as much as a regular nostril piercing. That doesn't make it anymore dangerous (just regularly clean it).

They take 6-10 weeks to heal.

You need to follow this aftercare:

Doing all-natural, non-iodized sea salt soaks on the piercing 1-2 times a day.

A pinch of salt for every 8 ounces of hot water. Soak for 15-30 minutes, and rinse well with cool, salt-free water afterwards.

It has to be sea salt only, and must be non-iodized- anything else is way too harsh and will do nothing but dry out, and irritate your piercing.

You need to cleanse it 1-2 times a day with a mild/organic soap. Something like J/A/S/O/N, Tom's, Provon, or Satin.

This aftercare is written, and followed by the APP (Association of Professional Piercers)- http://www.safepiercing.org/

Doing plain, hot water soaks/compresses helps with redness, pain, and irritation too. It's great for the Bump also.

Cartilage is more prone to getting The Bump.

It can be flipped up. Make sure you let your piercer know ahead of time that you want to do this so, you can pick out the right jewelry that will allow you to do this. Example- Some circular barbells (horseshoe rings) are too large, and uncomfortable to wear flipped up.

Your piercer will let you know what jewelry is best for you.

Also, look around for a great piercer (The APP's website can help you find an APP-Certified piercer in your area).

Check out their portfolio too. Look for pictures of freshly pierced, AND healed septum piercings.

The septum piercing is the easiest facial piercing to hide, for you can get it pierced with a septum retainer which flips up inside the nose and is very comfortable. You can also flip circular barbells up into the nose but they can be a bit annoying.

Just make sure who ever does it is a professional and that they are using sterile products and you yourself will have to make sure you keep the area clean so it will not get infected!

you should talk to the people at the piercing shop they will explain any problems with the piercing and will let you know how it will look and heal just ask them all of your questions that you have on your mind.

nevermind.

i think it would be kind of cute.

kind of a weird spot though.
