Information

The septum piercing is a piercing of the thin skin on the inside tip of the nose. Septum piercings are often curved, and septum rings are often circular in shape, and can either be an open loop or a closed loop. While its popularity has grown significantly in recent years, septum piercings have a long history and hold various cultural, spiritual, and personal meanings across different societies.

Septum piercings have been practiced for centuries in indigenous cultures worldwide, including those in South America, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. In Native American traditions, septum piercings are given as a symbol after rites of passage such as after successfully returning from their spiritual quest in the wilderness, to symbolize establishing a spiritual connection, maturity, and strength.

Some warrior tribes, including the Aztecs and Mayans, wore septum rings made from bones or tusks to create a fearsome appearance, symbolizing bravery and resilience.

In Hindu and Buddhist cultures, nose piercings (including septum piercings) can symbolize beauty, social standing, and spiritual connection. In other cultures, such as the Native American Hopi tribe, septum piercings were believed to ward off evil spirits, protect the wearer, and symbolize spiritual protection.

Like a bull ring, the septum piercing can also be a symbol of submission. The piercing in the front base of the nose can indicate that the person is now yoked to or belongs to something, such as surrendering to God or a higher power, a partner, or accepting to their dharma, their role and responsibilities within their community.

In contemporary culture, septum piercings are often a form of personal expression and individuality. Many people choose this piercing to express their unique style, personality, or identity, often related to non-conformity with societal norms and independence.

Overall, the septum piercing can have a variety of meanings for the wearer, including coming of age, strength, spiritual connection, and self-expression.
