You like to get your septum pierced but you had staph infection from a tat not to long ago so is it ok to go ahead and get the piercing?

Well considering what goes up your nose daily and the fact that you had a staph infection, I would suggest you consult your doctor to be sure you wont have any issues with the piercing. Your sinuses retain bacteria, mould spores, irritants and whole host of other airborne nasties so having had staph means your system won't be as strong as it was and may react poorly to the piercing. See your doc for advice.
