nasallang

noun

  1. A piercing that passes through both sides of the nose and the nasal septum.

    The nasallang is another rare piercing made up of a pair of nostril piercings (one in each nostril) with a septum piercing at the same level in between the two. A single piece of jewelry, usually a barbell is worn connecting all three—although from an outsider's view it will simply appear as a pair of nostril piercings assuming that the barbell sits flush with the skin.

Where it comes from

Blend of nasal + palang (Malay, “crossbar”), styled after ampallang.
