Locate the columella in your nose.
With your gloved fingers, gently pinch your septum until you find the “sweet spot.” At the bottom of your nose, you’ll feel a fleshy part. Further up in your nose, you’ll feel the hard cartilage. Between these two is the columella. This is where you want to pierce.
Also to know is, is my nose right for a septum piercing?
Septum piercings go in the center of the tip of your nose – right between the nostrils. … People who have a severely deviated septum shouldn’t do this piercing because it can look crooked and hurt way worse than it should. If your septum is only deviated slightly, you can still have this done and it will look just fine.
Likewise, what happens if your septum is pierced wrong?
If your septum was pierced incorrectly, blood capillaries may have been broken and can cause uncomfortable fluid and blood build up. If you notice an excessive amount of pressure in or around your septum, contact your doc.
