septum piercing

Bull-ring style adornment

A septum piercing is a piercing through the nasal septum—the cartilage wall dividing the nostrils.

The jewelry, typically a ring or horseshoe-shaped barbell, hangs from the center of the nose.

Unlike nostril piercings, septum piercings can be flipped up inside the nose to hide them: She flips her septum piercing up for work.
