I was more nervous about this piercing than anything I had ever done. And trust me, I've had more than a few body modifications done ie. triple labret, 5/8" lobes, nipples, lorum (self pierced at the tattoo/piercing shop Iwork in,) left arm is completely sleeved, the right arm is about 50% into a full sleeve, hands, knuckles, neck, back, calves...all tattooed as well. With all of those experienes w/ body mods I don't really know why I was so worked up about getting my septum done.

I went to Leap of Faith in Prescott Valley, AZ today for tongue web piercing. Brian told me it wasn't worth the money and the aftercare. I figured he was right and thought about my tongue. Then my mom was like hey get your septum. So i did. Then he put a really tight spikey feeling clamp on me. He took like a 3" 12 g. needle and and told me to take a couple deep breathes. By now I was pretty nervous and then he poked my left side. He told me that that was the intitial piercing . Then he pushed it the rest of the way through.

Here was a wonderful piercing that due to the extreme difficulty of the piece went smoothly and quickly. As usual this was a late night appointment as well.

DON'T GET THUMPED IN THE NOSE WHEN YOU JUST GOT YOUR SEPTUM PIERCED IT HURTS

I went to Obscurities to check out tongue jewelry, and started asking questions about septum piercings after having looked into it a bit on the internet. I wanted a 6 gauge, but I chickened out and got an 8 gauge, I'll stretch it later... anyhoo, after goofing around with the piercers for a bit while my retainer was sanitizing, I kinda got nervous, but I figured, already paid my money might as well go through it. It didn't hurt really, until Tasha (my piercer) told me to take in a deep breath and breath it out slowly, yeah...

As of now, i have had my septum peirced for about eight or so months. I have had eight peircings, including a labret, eyebrow, 3 on my earlobe, my tougue, one genital peircing, and, of course, my septum. I, being a nut-case/sociopath, did every one of these myself. I did all of them basically the same way. I took a non-galvanised nail, flattened the tip using a hammer and a length of old railroad rail as an anvil, and then sharpened it using a bench grinder and a sharpening stone so that it somewhat resembled a small arrow.

I had run away from my dad's house, and had been staying with some new friends in seattle, and my friend, Spot, said that he had a 14g needle and asked if I had wanted anything pierced, after a second of thinking I procieded to say "my septum." At the time I had no piercings so he warned me of the pain saying "it hurts." (great help) I insisted on piercing my septum and we went along with it.

hay all i just got my septum done on saturday the 26th of april. i read so much on this sight about how much it hurt and it worried me. but when i got there i was told by my piercer that it would only take a minute. she did it so fast that i was still waiting for it to hurt. but it really didn't compared to some of my others. i have my nipole, eyebrow, labret, my tongue done twice and finally my septum. i'm thinking of getting my tongue done again just so i can have it a third time a charm.

I got my septum pierced at River City Tattoo here in Richmond. All I can say is that anyone who is even remotely considering to get this done just go for it. Don't be scared by the people on here who said how painful it was. I can honestly say I didn't feel a thing, not even a prick. The thing that was the most uncomfortable, which wasn't even that bad, was having rubbing alcohol swabbed up and down each side of my nose. It was cool cause I saw the needle go in and then sit there as my piercer got the retainer ready.

OMG IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EASY!!!! I had it done this afternoon and it is insanely painless, and fun as hell! I had it done with a 12 gauge circular barbell, and man it was like i said painless!! Im going back in 2 weeks to get it stretched to a 10 gauge YAAAY!I m sooo happy if ur looking for a septum piercing but are a lil scared for the pain factor...... DONT BE!!!!!!!
