Mentioned. In the Bible aproximately
4,000 years ago , Nose piercing is a pratice followed among the nomadic
Berber, Beja tribes of Africa, and the Bedouins of the Middle East. Bought
to India in the 16th Century from the Middle East by the Moghul emperors
, it appears among the hippies in the Late 1960's and was later adopted

Placement Nose Piercing
A nasal septum piercing is less common than
nostril piercings. The nasal septum is the cartilage dividing wall between
the nostrils.
The cartilage itself is not pierced but rather
the small gap between the cartilage and the bottom of the nose, typically
at a gauge no smaller than 14ga (1.6mm).
The nose has many nerves running through it
and as a result that nose piercings can be painful, although it varies
by individual. Septum piercing was popular among certain Native American
peoples in history.THe Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, for example,
had such piercings.
Once the piercing is healed you can change the
jewellery as easily as changing an earring.You can wear gold and steel
, titanium ,coloured niobium rings and studs, studs set with gemstones.
There is another nose piercing is the bridge piercing. This one is a surface
piercing through the small flap of skin at the top of the nose, between
the eyes.
