Question How do you know if a septum piercing will look good on you?
Answer Your imagination is the key, but often people will take a photo and draw on jewelry or hold a piece of jewelry up in front of the nose to visualize what it might look like. There's little harm in trying, as if you remove the jewelry later, any mark is hidden.
