got my septum pierced about a year ago to mark a new time in my life once i dropped out of school. i had always thought septum rings looked great and felt like i was finaly doing something for myself insted of someone else. kinda sounds cheesy, but it made sense to my 16 year old mind and meant alot to me. it was my first pierceing anywhere, even before my lobes. i got it pierced at 14 gauge and it barely hurt at all. the sharpness of the pain was quite suprising though. i loved the way it looked ...

first piercing was a reverse PA. I've had that for about 6 and a half months now, and have stretched up from 12 ga. to 6 ga. (See: "Stretching Exercises" in reverse PA experiences). About a month ago I made an appointment with my piercer to get my septum done. I called Megan at Camden Chameleon here in Bellingham, WA and arranged to come in that afternoon. Since I'd already been through this before, my biggest concerns were fitting it into my busy day, and how well I'd be able to hide it once it was done. I got there ...

have four holes in each ear, three I had done with a gun, and one that I pierced myself with a disposable gun. I would suggest these nifty little disposable guns for anyone interested in piercing (the lobe only!!) themselves. I don't know about anyone else, but I can tolerate much more pain if I inflict it on myself... Back to my ears. I suggest the gun because when I pierced myself with a needle, I ended up with one hole in front and two in back, and schitzophrenic piercings are never fun. As far as my own experiences with ...

ell, let's see here... I just broke the 18 year landmark in Dec., so now that I'm legal to get them done, I'm ready to go all out. Right now, I have my septum at an 8 ga., my tongue at a 10, lobes at 0's, and my industrial at a 14. I had my labret, lip, and eyebrows done, but, being 16, it was kinda tough to find a job, if you can believe that, so I ended up taking those out. The first piercing I did was my septum. My dad's girlfriend at the time had a son ...

Well prior to this piercing, I have only had my ears pierced, and my navel, which didn't work out. I wanted to get a piercing that was very visable, but that I could also hide from my anti piercing parents. Voila...the septum! It is extremely cool and I can put in a retainer and they will never know it's there! It was perfect. So first I actually had to get up the guts to do it. I checked out articles and pics on BME, and sent out some emails to people asking annoying questions, then finnally decided to do it. ...

For almost two years, I wanted my septum pierced. I loved the look of it on other people (Most espescially on girls, due to the fact I think it centers attention on the face and seperates your focus on it... And I'd just rather prefer to be looking at women than men =) But I definately appreciate it on a male, too.) and, after much deliberation between my friends and I on whether I would look good with it, since I have a very angular face and an ever so slightly larger than normal nose, what kind of jewelry I'd ...

oday I got a septum piercing at Ars Subcutan in Mannheim, Germany. It's now about 6 hours old and still sore. :) I had had an information & counseling appointment on Saturday, three days ago, to clear all open questions, check if my nose was suitable for such a piercing and choose the jewelry. We then decided on a 10ga black anodized stainless steel retainer - Wulf (the piercer at Ars Subcutan) won't pierce septa (I was just told that's the correct plural for septum - so don't laugh please ;) at anything smaller than 12ga and since I want ...

This whole incident was completely unplanned. My friend owns a tattoo and body piercing shop, and we were there late one night; October 24, 1997. I leisurely asked him if he wanted to pierce my septum. He said sure. He has given me two tattoos, a small piece on my back and a large armband on my right arm, and pierced my tongue and my lobes, which I am stretching. He keeps a few surgical stainless wires around to make jewelry out of, so I made myself a 14ga septum retainer. After sterilization it was ready to go. My friend ...

i i wanna share my nostril piercing experience. Ever since i was in sixth grade i've always wanted my nose pierced. But everytime i'd ask my mom she always said "NO!" or "LEAVE ME THE F*** ALONE ABOUT THIS" Finally in the beginning of my freshman year, i found a picture of a tiny nostril piercing, and my mom agreed to let me. of coarse that picture was a lie, because i wanted bigger!!! so i called around, but no one pierced w/ a gun. and that scared me to death so after 2 weeks of calling almost every place ...
