Septum piercings can cause discomfort and pain during the piercing process, but the level of pain experienced can vary from person to person. Some people report feeling a sharp pain, while others describe it as a dull ache. However, many people find that the pain is short-lived and subsides quickly after the piercing is done.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

2. Mix a solution of 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt and 8 ounces of warm water in a clean cup or bowl.

3. Dip a clean cotton ball or gauze pad into the salt solution and gently clean around the piercing, making sure to remove any crust or debris.

4. Rinse the piercing with warm water to remove any salt residue.

5. Dry the area with a clean paper towel or let it air dry.

6. Do not touch the piercing or rotate the jewellery.

7. Repeat this process twice a day or as recommended by your piercer.

It's important to avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol-based products on your piercing as they can irritate and delay the healing process. If you experience any redness, swelling, or discharge, contact your piercer or a healthcare professional for advice.

It is generally recommended to wait for 3-4 months before changing a nose piercing for the first time. During this time, the piercing is still healing and changing the jewellery too soon can cause irritation, inflammation, and delay the healing process.

At Serenity Jewellery, we have been selling jewellery online for over 20 year, and are known for our huge selection of alternative and hypoallergenic jewellery.

We know how uncomfortable earrings can be to wear, especially cartilage earrings, so we only sell jewellery that is made from hypoallergenic materials, meaning you can wear it 24/7 comfortably.

Also, because we never use plated jewellery, all of our jewellery is tarnish-free and waterproof, so you don't have to worry about taking it off when showering or working out/ swimming without it going green or tarnishing.

Unlike other jewellery companies, we accept returns even if you have worn them, for up to 60 days. So you can shop in confidence, knowing if you buy the wrong item or it is uncomfortable to wear for any reason, we can help you find the right alternative or give you a refund for the jewellery.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your nose ring. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and reduces the risk of infection.

2. Use your fingers to gently twist the ring in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This helps to loosen the ring and make it easier to remove.

3. If the ring doesn't come out easily, use a pair of sterilized pliers or forceps to gently grip the ring and twist it in the opposite direction. Be gentle and avoid pulling or tugging on the ring.

4. Once the ring is loose, gently slide it out of your piercing hole. If the ring is difficult to remove, stop and seek professional help from a piercer or healthcare provider.

5. After removing the ring, clean the area around your piercing with a saline solution or antiseptic wipe to prevent infection.
