A septum piercing is a type of nose piercing that is located at the septum, which is the thin wall of cartilage that runs down the center of the nose. It is placed in the thin piece of skin between the nostrils, sometimes referred to as the "sweet spot." A ring is commonly worn in this piercing, and it can be as decorative or as plain as the wearer wants. The piercing has been associated with many different religions and cultures and has become popular for both men and women in recent years. It is known for its bold and edgy look and can be hidden when needed. The pain level of a septum piercing is relative, but it is generally considered to be quick and fairly painless if performed properly
