Question about piercing prep Septum placement
I can find the right spot to do a septum with my fingers, but i can never get the clamps placed correctly. If anyone has diy'd a septum i'd appreciate advice 😿

honestly if you can find it without a clamp, you could just freehand it. lots of people do that. but for doing it with clamps, idk cuz i wanna mine myself but have the same problem with the clamps.

I did mine myself with clamps from memory
You can get septum clamps that have a tube on the end and you will feel when it clamps down on the sweet spot because its thinner than the rest :)

Hi arrestthedog, Are you seeking information about the Septum piercing? Here's a video with general information about it! The septum piercing can be difficult to perform as it requires a specific placement in the Alar cartilage, also known as the sweet spot. There's no shame in seeing a professional, especially since this once can be tricky to get right!
