A nasal septum piercing
is less common than nostril piercings. The
nasal septum is the cartilaginous dividing wall
between the nostrils. Generally, the cartilage
itself is not pierced, but rather the small gap
between the cartilage and the bottom of the
nose, typically at a gauge no smaller than 14ga
(1.6mm). The nose has many nerves running
through it and as a result, nose piercings can
be painful, although it varies by individual.
There are four types of jewelry generally worn
in a septum piercing. Captive Bead Rings (CBRs)
are rings that close with a bead in the centre.
Circular Barbells (as shown in the picture)
have two beads which screw on.
