Men's Septum Rings at SkinKandy
SkinKandy's Men's Septum Rings collection features segment ring and horseshoe styles for septum piercings, in Titanium, Surgical Steel and 14K Gold. Septum jewellery is a popular choice for men wanting a bold, visible piercing that's also easy to hide by flipping the ring up into the nostril. This collection covers both fresh piercings and healed upgrades, with styles ranging from plain rings to statement designs. Everyone is welcome to shop this range, though it's curated with men's styling in mind.
What septum ring styles are popular for men?
Plain segment rings and horseshoes in Surgical Steel or Titanium are popular for an everyday look, while thicker or darker finishes suit a bolder style. Segment rings sit as a continuous circle and are easy to flip up to conceal the piercing, while horseshoes have a gap and sit slightly more visibly. Some men choose to pair a septum ring with other face or ear piercings for a more curated look. Your piercing specialist can talk through style options that suit your face shape and existing piercings.
What gauge and size is a men's septum ring?
Septum rings are fitted at 16G, with a 14G option available if you'd prefer a larger, bolder fit. Ring diameter is typically 8mm or 10mm, depending on the size of your septum and how visible you'd like the piercing to sit. A larger diameter sits more visibly and is easier to flip up, while a smaller diameter sits closer to the nose. Your piercing specialist will confirm the right gauge and diameter for your piercing before fitting.
What material should I choose for a septum piercing?
Surgical Steel is what our piercing specialists use for fresh septum piercings in studio, and it's a safe, affordable option, though it contains trace nickel and isn't hypoallergenic. Titanium and 14K Gold don't carry that trace nickel, making them better options if you have sensitive skin. All three materials are available across the segment ring and horseshoe styles in this collection. Do not remove your jewellery during the healing phase regardless of which material you choose.
How do men style a septum piercing with other jewellery?
A septum ring pairs well with a simple lobe stack or a single cartilage piece like a helix or tragus flatback, without competing for attention. Keeping to one metal tone across your septum and ear jewellery, such as all Titanium or all Surgical Steel, gives a more considered look. Some men also pair a septum ring with a labret or philtrum piece for a fuller facial piercing look. Our ear piercing for men guide has more styling ideas for building out a look over time.
How does a septum ring compare to a nostril piercing?
A nostril piercing sits to the side of the nose and is fitted at a smaller 18G or 20G, typically with an L-bend, nose twist or flatback stud. A septum ring sits through the tissue between the nostrils and is fitted at 16G, or 14G for a larger fit, usually as a segment ring or horseshoe at 8mm or 10mm. Septum jewellery tends to be more visible and easier to flip up to conceal, while nostril studs give a smaller, more subtle finish. Both are available across Surgical Steel, Titanium and 14K Gold.
