KW: septum piercing, piercing after care Your Septum And Safety
If you are thinking about a new piercing – maybe the ears, tongue, nipples are pierced, one never really knows – some have decided to try a septum piercing. For those that may not know what the septum is (and there’s no shame in not knowing) the membrane that separates the nostrils.
And the septum is one place people like either getting pierced, or stretched out. Like tattoos, this fringe piercing was wholly an underground experience in past decades. It was assumed that only criminals and other less savory characters sported piercings and tattoos, despite the number of military men that got them out of pride of service.
Skip to today: the art of body modification is not only commonplace, but has garnered a new popularity and respect. These modifications are done with adherence to strict safety standards, and a meticulous nature that would make one think they were having some sensitive surgery.
But in order have a septum piercing; one must have the following tools on hand:
But in order have a septum piercing; one must have the following tools on hand:
• Oil for massage. This can be any kind of oil: vitamin E., Jojoba, even extra virgin olive oil will suffice.
• A non-flared flesh tunnel. When choosing one, ensure that they are not anything porous, like acrylic or latex. Stick to the standards: stainless steel, titanium, or platinum being the best choices.
• A gauge. For first timers, it’s recommended to use smaller gauges, when it comes later to stretch piercing, a person can use a larger gauge.
• The insertion pin
• Some kind of water based lubricant. Funny how it sounds, KY or a knock off are probably the easiest and most convenient to find.
What happens next is that the nose and septum are massaged heavily in the oil for about 5 to 10 minutes. After such, wash hands in antibacterial soap. If gloves are available, that would be nice as not to have any kind of contamination. The person should use the lubricant to coat the insertion pin before pushing it through the septum. Some experts say that slower is better, it really depends on the person and their tolerance. Once through, use the flesh tunnel by lining it up against the larger end of the pin, and begin to push both pin and funnel towards each other as the insertion pin goes through. Even up the funnel, and there it is: a pierced septum.
A stretch piercing works the same way, and most people prefer doing the method: getting a larger gauge and working their way up slowly.
The only thing people have to know is that if it starts bleeding: take out the funnel. Don’t ask questions, don’t wonder: safety and health always is going to trump perceived appearance. After the piercing or stretching, most people need to remember that there will be a bit of soreness that will last anywhere from a day or two to about two weeks of so. Not matter what, the newly pierced needs to remember to keep up hygiene.
After all of this is said and done, a person will love their new, safely pierced septum.
