The Septum piercing has a long history and has been performed by many tribes in Africa, Borneo and even by the Native Americans. Many things have been used to adorn this piercing, from gold to dried pig’s skin.
In the late 1990s to early 2000s, this piercing became a popular piercing among rebels and individuals who liked to stand out in the crowd. I think that they stood out so well that the crowd caught on, and so now in 2019, the septum is a common piercing. There are so many beautiful, bold and discrete pieces of jewellery for the septum piercing, with the low septum piercing price also making it attractive.
