Also know, can I put a smaller gauge in my septum?

Anything smaller than 16G is way too small. You can eventually stretch your septum to a larger gauge once it’s healed, but it’s a permanent modification, and it won’t shrink back to its original size like stretched lobes would.

Also question is, when can I downsize my septum? While the most tender and painful part of healing should be over in around 1-3 weeks, septum piercings take around 6 to 8 months to completely heal, and you can change the jewellery in 6 to 8 weeks providing it’s well-healed. You should try and leave it as long as possible, though.

Simply so, are septum clickers good?

Septum clickers are an excellent way to show off your fantastic septum piercing. … But septum clickers offer a unique aesthetic and an interesting design that makes them perfect for just about any nose piercing.

What nose shape is best for a septum piercing?

Septum Piercing

Can I put a 16g in a 14g septum piercing?

Yes you can. The jewellery won’t be very snug, though, and might move around a lot. Having said that, the whole will probably close up a bit around the smaller gauge jewellery so you might not be able to wear 14g there any more. … So I used this 2mm diameter needle for a piercing with a 16g jewellery.
