Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency about how we recommend products and earn from qualifying purchases.
Our Commitment to Transparency
At SeptumPiercing.net, we believe in being completely transparent with our readers about how we operate. We want you to know exactly how we make money, what recommendations are sponsored, and what’s not.
We take our responsibility to our readers seriously. The information you find here is crafted with the goal of being helpful, accurate, and trustworthy — not driven by financial incentives.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help us cover the costs of running this site and allow us to continue creating free, high-quality content for our readers.
Affiliate links are used on product recommendations, jewelry guides, and gear suggestions where we believe the product genuinely adds value to our readers.
Important: Our recommendations are never influenced by affiliate partnerships. We only recommend products and services that we believe are genuinely helpful, safe, and worth considering.
How It Works
When you click an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale. This does not cost you anything extra — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer’s website.
We participate in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates – We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through Amazon links.
- Body jewelry retailer programs – We partner with reputable jewelry brands and studios to provide recommendations.
- Piercing and aftercare product retailers – We recommend trusted aftercare products and may earn a commission.
💡 You are never charged more – using our affiliate links does not increase the price of the product for you.
Our Editorial Independence
We take editorial integrity seriously. Our recommendations are based on:
- Quality and safety – products that are safe, durable, and appropriate for their purpose.
- Real value – products that offer genuine benefits to our readers.
- Reader trust – we prioritize your trust over commission rates.
We do not accept payment from brands or retailers to write positive reviews or promote products. Any sponsored content or paid partnerships will be clearly marked as such.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a website costs money — hosting, domain registration, content creation, and ongoing maintenance all add up. Affiliate commissions allow us to:
- Keep content free – Our guides, articles, and resources remain free to our readers.
- Invest in better content – We can spend more time researching and writing.
- Maintain high standards – We can keep the site updated and well-maintained.
- Create more resources – We can expand our coverage and help more people.
How to Spot Affiliate Links
We make it easy to identify affiliate links. You’ll notice:
- A disclaimer near the link or in the article introduction.
- A label such as “(affiliate link)” or “we may earn a commission” in some cases.
- Our footer disclosure that links back to this page.
If you ever have questions about whether a link is affiliate or not, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re happy to clarify.
Your Trust Matters to Us
We understand that trust is earned. We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission. Our recommendations are based on what we believe is genuinely useful and safe for our readers.
If an article contains affiliate links, we always make that clear — either at the top of the article or within the content itself. This way, you can make an informed decision about the products you choose.
