well after a long think on wether to go ahead with the idea of a septum piercing, i though about all the usual things,will i suit it , will it hurt? and came to the conclusion of ... i want it, i must have it im going to do it,i went to my fantastic piercer who has done my most recent piercings(tongue,right side bottom labret) and got my left labret, and my septum pierced,we had a talk about how to keep it clean she gave me an information sheet which is spot on for after care, she gave me the measurements of my jewllery and asked me if i had any questions,i then proceeded to tell her i was rather nervous about the pain of this septum piercing and told her i read up from web sites what type of piercing it is and how it is pierced,also storys of what they felt(which are great for nervous first timers or inqusitive pierced people wanting the piercing!)She told me id done my research and that what i read was correct,she also a pierced lady,had this piercing and said for her it was a major decsion when she got it done and that she to was nervous,she told me it felt like you were plucking a straggled hair from a nostril and thats it!i trusted her and believed her due to the othe piercings and feelings i have encountered from my other piercings and her advice on them!and went through with it,it felt exactly that,like plucking your eyebrow and that stningy watery feel!the only uncompfrtable part wat fixing the ball captive ring i had inserted!that was just fussy as it was up my nose!i would completly recommend the piercing if you want a major adornment to your face, and are ready to go from the world of common place piercings to..the slightly rarer side of mods!
