    Hey everyone :slight_smile:)

    I know piercings dont have genders but Im seriously considering getting my septum pierced but as a trans guy, im worried it will look too feminine and stop me from passing as well as I could.
    Thoughts? Do septum piercings give off too much of a girly vibe or should i just go for it??

    I think you are looking at it the wrong way.

    Would you be comfortable with a septum piercing? Do you like the idea?

    If yes, then i don't see why you shouldn't do it.

    I have seen men and women with septum piercings, and i don't think any relation of the piercing with gender. I don't think it would look feminine.

    I’ve seen quite a few masculine men with septum piercings and their piercing didn’t look feminine on them at all. So I’d say no they don’t give of a girly vibe on a masculine guy and you don’t need to be concerned about that.
    If you want that piercing, go for it.

    I agree that they are unisex. I guess the actual piercing could look more/less masculine so I would just say don't pick something sparkly etc

    I know a trans guy with a septum piercing, and he rocks it. I say if that's what you want, then go for it!

    I agree with most of the above comments, especially with Chiroptera.

    Do what you want to do and just be you. Consider long-term consequences, if necessary. But, ultimately, just be YOU!.

    Do it with a basecap and sneakers. Instead of looking girly it will contribute to a skaterboy look and might actually help you pass. It's all a matter of combination. If you're really fashionable, depending on your body shape you will either look like a girl or really gay.

    While the piercing itself is pretty gender neutral, the jewelry and metal you pick will kind of sway people one way or the other. Like many I have seen plenty of guys and girls with it... granted some people could rock it better than others.

    But since they aren't permanent, you can get one and try it out. See if it is something you dig, which is what really matters.

    I have my septum pierced and I absolutely love it!! I've gotten so many compliments which is surprising because I never liked it before I got mine done. I've seen both men and women with the septum piercing and I think both sexes look great with it. If you want it, I'd say go for it, you will not be disappointed
