What does a septum piercing say about you?

You have probably seen them on your celebrity crush, and you just cannot get enough of it. They look like something that a rebel would do or someone who only sets their own tone. Next to everyone, a septum piercing is a striking choice for one to have.

Then you decide, hey, why not get a piercing? Then it hits you, you are not a celebrity yet, or you may not have plans actually to be one. How are you going to explain to the people close to you?

While piercings have been around for thousands upon thousands of years, they have usually varied in location on the body and the reason for having them done.

Take, for example, tattoos. In the Western World, which was dominated by Christendom for many years, they were considered a mark of rebellion. Contemporary culture has changed the outlook of tattoos. Though not entirely accepted everywhere, it is possible to get away with it in several situations.

On the flip side, a tattoo is a mark of respect and honor among Polynesians. It was considered to be a mark of strength, depending on how many tattoos one had. They also carried the history of one’s family, among other things.

Does a septum piercing really say something about the people who have them?

Yes, and no. To effectively answer this question, it would be prudent to look at one thing; where in the world you are from. Even though you may primarily live in a society dominated by Western ideals, they are not the only ones that people worldwide may be experiencing.

 In the Western context, the choice of a septum piercing is entirely up to the individual. However, the people around you may get to have a say on how it looks on you. Chances are, they are not going to like it so much.

 A septum piercing is associated with people who want to set themselves apart. Whether other people will like them for it, they wouldn’t really care. To this end, people with septum rings end up appearing as rebels without a care in the world, and any efforts to rein them in will simply result in a clash.

 That’s for the conservative people. For the more accepting, it will be down to personal preference, again. Some may find it ugly and call it out, and some may find it interesting.

Outside of the western world, the septum piercing has different connotations among different societies in the world. The most extensive cultures to have septum piercings have to be from the subcontinent of India. There, it is considered ornamentation done mostly by women from India, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

The same can also be found among various communities of Africa. Septum piercings enhance a woman’s beauty, especially one who is of marriageable age as practiced by the Fulani.
