Body piercing is a popular practice among many people, and the septum is a popular spot to pierce. While professional body piercers use sterile needles and tools to pierce the septum, it is possible to pierce your own septum with a sewing needle. This is not recommended, as it increases the risk of infection, but if you must pierce your own septum, here is how to do it.<\/p>\n

There is no single answer to this question as everyone’s septum (the cartilage divider between the nostrils) is different in terms of thickness and location. That said, the general idea is to sterilize the needle and thread, insert the needle through the skin above the cartilage (being careful not to pierce the Cartilage itself), then tie off the thread on the other side.<\/p>\n

Can you pierce a septum with a sewing needle? <\/h2>\n

I don’t recommend sewing with a piercing needle because the tip is sharp and angled, which makes it easy to push the needle through.<\/p>\n

A sewing needle is not safe to use for piercing because it will push the tissue as it goes in and will not make a proper hole. A piercing needle will make a hole by actually removing a small piece of tissue.<\/p>\n

If you are considering getting a septum piercing, it is important to follow the recommended sizing that was recommended by your piercer. Septum piercings are typically pierced with a 16 or 18 gauge needle, which is 127mm or 100mm thick, respectively. Some piercers may use a 14 gauge needle depending on the client.<\/p>\n

Where is the septum sweet spot? <\/h2>\n

If you pinch your septum, you should feel a thin area of skin between some hard cartilage and the tip of your septum (often referred to as the sweet spot). That’s where the septum piercing is placed. It is a little bit higher and a little further forward than you might realize.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever thought about getting your septum pierced, you’ve probably pinched yours before. All the while, the pain felt incredibly intense for those couple of seconds. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, having my septum pierced earns a hard four.<\/p>\n

How do you sterilize a sewing needle for piercings? <\/h2>\n

It is important to use a pot that has been meticulously cleaned with disinfectant soap and hot water when boiling a needle. The needle should be boiled for at least 30 minutes prior to use. This will ensure that the needle is sterile and safe to use.<\/p>\n

Can you safely pierce your own nose <\/h3>\n

Piercing your own skin or letting a friend do it for you can be extremely dangerous. Make sure that the person performing the piercing follows all safety procedures, such as using a sterile needle and asking if you have any health problems or could be pregnant.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a less painful and more accurate piercing experience, forego the clamps and let your piercer work with disposable implements instead. This will help to prevent any cross-contamination and keep things clean and sterile.
