Multifunctional Nose Piercings

Carrying Cigarettes & Screwdrivers in Your Septum

These are extreme examples of nose piercings, instances where the septum is actually pierced rather than the more common option of the nostril wall. It looks amazing and freaky at the same time, which is naturally right up my street.

As you can see from the gallery, those with big septums just love showing how big they are by inserting everyday objects such as a fork, screwdriver or even, in a brilliant move, a cigarette. I also like the permanent long bars, which have a touch of caveman to them.
