No it doesn't get pierced through the cartilage. I actually had a woman come in with a septum piercing that was done by a so called "body mods artist", the piercing was done through the cartilage and was causing all sorts of issues for the lady. Piercing the cartilage is actually dangerous in that area and more subject to possible infection. The actual piercing is between the exteriour meatus and the physical cartilage, the web between these structures is only the thickness of a dime, this is the area the piercing should be placed. Any other location and the piercing is done incorrectly. Do your research and be sure your piercing is done by an actual "professional body piercer" working in a licensed and inspected facility (not a kitchen on a Saturday night).
In the center of the crease of your where your nostril flares, and the non-cartilage tissue spot up the wall of the septum for a septum piercing.
Just the skin. No piercings really go through bone, and the only cartilage piercings are through the ears (not the septum like most people think)It would be very difficult to get a tiny needle through bone. Answer Bridge piercings are just through the skin, septum piericngs can be pierced throught the flesh AND the cartilage. oh and the bridge is made of cartilage.
A septum piercing is a type of nose piercing. The cartilage is not pierced but the gap between the bottom of the nose and cartilage is. Many have said that it does not hurt very much, but everyone's tolerance is different.
Cartilage of septum
I want my collar bones done, and have yet to figure out how to persuade my parents. For septum, tell them it;s not like somewhere else on your face, like nose, eyebrow or monroe, that will scar. Your septum is like your nose (all cartilage) and cartilage can close very very easily.
The septum is a very sensitive area of the inner nose. In fact, it is made up of skin and cartilage, which helps keep the passages open for breathing. If you have pierced the septum, it will continue to hurt for several years. This is because it takes a while for the septum to heal on its own.
how old do you have to be to get your cartilage pierced
No..........
The septum is the center part of your nose between your two nostrils, the septum piercing is placed through the thinnest part of the septum between the cartilage forming the nose bridge and the outer dermal layer of the skin between the two nostrils.
My septum stopped hurting after a week or two. I'd go back to the place it was pierced at and have them take a look.
Septum
From what I know, have your cartilage already pierced before you try to gage it. I pierced my own, then once it healed i put a 14 gauge through it. It didn't really hurt but pinched a little.
