Okay, well about a year ago now, I decided to skip my high school graduation and get a piercing instead. High school had been a total waste of my time, and I figured hey, why not go out with a bang? I had been toying with the idea of getting my septum done for a couple months... I really loved the idea that I could have this piercing that pretty much could be hidden away for work and such... I thought it was gorgeous, and extremely convenient for day-to-day living where some people tend to frown down upon body modification. ...

So, I've been nagging my mom to let me get a piercing for a really long time. Well, I already had my ears and cartilage done, but I wanted a REAL piercing. First, I tried for nose. No-go, I was only 12. I tried for belly button, she said yes, and then that fell through. I decided I didn't want it. I tried for lip...uh-uh. Then, I tried for tongue. For a LONG time. Eventually she said yes, but I had been scared about it because it could mess up my singing. Then I wanted my eyebrow done, but I'm ...

I'll skip the whole bit about how I didn't like septum piercings and now I do business and just start. I planned to get a new piercing as soon as I returned home from my family vacation. However, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. I knew a clavicle surface piercing, sternum surface piercing, smiley, nies/slip, and septum were all on my list of eager-to-get mods. Reality set in and I realized my piercer refused to do surface piercings other than nape; it's a pain to find someone willing to do a slip piercing; so I'm left with smiley and ...

For quite some time I had wanted to get another facial piercing, but still be able to get a decent job that wouldn't require me to take it out. Then it occurred to me... SEPTUM! So simple! Hide it while at work or with the old people (parents). So I decided to have Kala do it seeing as there isn't a single other place on this damn island that doesn't either overcharge or have no clue what they are doing. I was so nervous when I was going to get it done that I invited my friend Tara to come ...

Basically, I'm a piercing junkie. So far I've had my lip pierced, a nostril piercing, a tri-navel piercing, 10 in my ears [including tragus, rook, a 10mm tunnel and an industrial], and the most recent, my lovely septum piercing. So yes, as you can see in my short life I've had quite a lot of work done... But I'd never even thought about getting my septum pierced until a few months ago. I'd always thought of it as a bit extreme and well, not exactly a pretty piercing. All that changed about 5 months ago when I saw a picture ...

So after about seven months of trying to convince my mom to give me her consent so I can have my septum pierced, professionally, I finally gave up and decided to do it myself, like all of my piercings. Now, for all the anti-DIY people reading this, don't start freaking out on me about how idiotic and unsafe this is. The moment I listed septum piercing in my wish list, I began researching about procedures, (finding really scarce amount), experiences--both written and recorded, health risks, and a bunch of other stuffs. I did my research repeatedly, for about two months. ...

Out of all of my previous piercings (2 daiths, 1 anti tragus, 1 tagus, 1 cartilage, 5 dermal anchors and a surface sternum) none have been on my face! Somewhere in my subconscious I had decided that facial piercings and I were just never meant to be, though I always found them unbelievably attractive. Apart from that I am also a Flute performance major so any piercings on, or in my mouth I cannot have and seeing as I don't particularly like eyebrow piercings I thought for sure I would NEVER get any beautiful metal in my face. Wrong. While ...

My first nose piercing didn't go so well. I am prone to keloids and of course, that's exactly what happened and I got so frustrated that I just took it out. I did everything I thought I could do and it felt as if it was never going to go away!! I felt as if getting piercings was a lost cause for me because I lost a beloved industrial to keloids as well and I almost gave up hope. But about a month ago, I got the urge for a piercing. piercings are so addictive! I loved the way the ...

I'd been wanting my nose pierced for about two years. I think the reason I first wanted it was while going through an emo phase at twelve, I had a clip-on nose/lip/belly/ear ring and put it in my left nostril. I loved it from the start and that was when I was bitten by the bug. I'd only had my ears pierced once before when I was six, and I couldn't remember what that was like, but I know it hurt. Alot. Stupidly, as I was only little, I didn't know the dangers of gun piercing, and they got badly ...

Until recently, I had never really considered the idea of getting a septum piercing. I had always found nose piercings in general to be a little cliché. The whole party girl with a nose stud look never really appealed to me. However, over the past few months, I had been itching for a new piercing. I already have my lip, bellybutton, tragus, and a number of other ear piercings, and I felt that I needed something a little different. It was because of this searching for something new that first brought the idea of a septum piercing to mind. Over ...
