What is the chance of a septum piercing getting infected?

Sure just tike anything in life there are risks to getting your nose pierced. The biggest risk is getting it done by someone who knows nothing about it. Research your Body Piercing facility and the piercer, call the health unit and check for complaints and inspection status for the shop you are interested in. If you find a good Professional Body Piercer and not some clown in the mall with a piercing gun that will tell you they know what they are doing ( piercing guns are not legal for piercing anything other than earlobes in most countries by health regulations ), the Pro will explain the proceedure and placement as well as cover the aftercare routeen for the piercing.
