The specialist makes a puncture in the wing of the nose and wears a decoration, which is a special screw. From the outside it looks like a metal pebble or a ball, and inside - a special hook designed for reliable fixation. Careful and careful care is required for the wound. If you want to change the earring, be sure to do it on exhalation, otherwise you can accidentally inhale it.

- Septum is one of the most painful of all punctures on the face (heals from 6 to 8 weeks). This type of piercing can only be done by an experienced specialist, as the puncture is strictly perpendicular to the nose, otherwise the decoration will be crooked.
- Vertical piercing - the hole passes through the center of the line of the nose, from the very base to the tip. The difficulty is that the specialist, making a puncture, does not damage the septum. The procedure is very painful and heals for a long time.
- Bridge piercing - a puncture above the nose, just below the eyebrow line (heals from 6 to 10 weeks).
