The septril passes out from a stretched septum piercing and downwards through the front of the nose. In some ways it is similar to a t-bar piercing or a vertical lobe piercing through a tunnel.

This piercing was first done by Toro in Spain who called it a "Jungle" piercing, and by Obscurities in Texas who named it the "Septril" after giving one to Pat Tidwell (pictured). Of the two names, septril appears to have been the one that stuck.
