The “sweet spot” is named as such because it's the spot the piercer is aiming for when they pierce your septum. The bridge between the nostrils is made up almost entirely of cartilage. ... Closer to the tip of the nostril is where the soft spot of stretchy skin can be found. Use your fingers and you'll be able to find it.

How do you know if you have a sweet spot?

If you pinch your septum, you should feel a thin area of skin between some hard cartilage and the tip of your septum (often referred to as the sweet spot). That's where the septum piercing is placed. It is a little bit higher and a little further forward than you might realize.

Can you get a septum piercing with no sweet spot?

Not having a sweet spot doesn't automatically mean you can't have a septum piercing. In some instances the piercing could be done through the hard cartilage of the septum. ... A skilled piercer should still be able to perform the piercing pretty quickly, but it may take a bit longer than a standard septum.
