Turning 25 felt like moving into the next chapter of my life. I had already finished my studies, worked too much in jobs that I loved but had to move on. I left the city I spent the most beautiful years of my life and moved to another. I also got a "very real" job as a journalist in a mainstream news broadcaster. Things looked perfect, all besides the fact that I had a job that is exhausting and sucks away all my creativity. In my new working environment I looked different from the very start. People stared at my ...

Although nose piercings are not the boldest of facial piercings, what with every other 15 year old girl donning one in the hopes to look badass, I was hankering for a piercing on my face and did not feel like shocking my poor mother to tears with an eyebrow, anti-eyebrow, or lip piercing. Those will come in a few months or so. Pansyness aside, I boldly strode (ran) to a local shop here in Santa Cruz and requested the piercing. (I chose this particular shop because my friend had just gotten her lip pierced here and recommended them- cheaper than ...

I have always thought about getting a piercing, but my parents are not very big fans of bm so I never got any of the piercings done. I recently moved out of home and started thinking about bm again. I used to not like the appearance of septum piercings but once I moved to the bay area I saw a lot more of them and realized that they take many shapes and forms. I started thinking of getting a septum piercing, and researched it heavily. I consider myself to have a very low pain tolerance so I was not sure ...

After the almost septum a little over a year ago, I decided that I wanted it re-doing and definitely for the long term. The hard part was getting around my mother, who links septum piercings to the 70's punk era and a lack of self respect, or respect for anyone and anything. I made a deal with her, that if I got it done I wouldn't tell her and I'd have it flipped up out the way whenever she was around (and considering I live with my parents this would be almost all the time.) I didn't know when I ...

A few of my friends came to dunedin for a few days and one of them decided to get her septum pierced. I thought "oh cool.." and really thought nothing of it. My parents are dead against any form of piercing. Even ear piercing! So i never really thought about it. i've always wanted a facial piercing but always thought about the fact that i cant hide it! Anyway. When she came out with her new piercing I was shocked at how amazing it looked. What I loved even more about it was that she put a circular barbell in ...

I don't know about you, but occasionally I get an overwhelming urge to change my appearance. Sometimes I cut or dye my hair. Sometimes I try a different colour eyeliner. Today, I decided I wanted a new piercing. I don't have many piercings. In my right ear, I have my conch and two cartilage piercings and I have the left side of my lip pierced. That's it - not even my earlobes are pierced. Fairly tame, and to be honest with you, I'd like to keep it that way. It was only recently that me and some friends were discussing ...

As with quite a few of the mods I now have or want, I used to hate septum piercings. I just really didn't like the look of them, but I found them starting to grow on me. To start with I just started liking the look of them on other people, but didn't think it would suit me and still thought I'd never get it done. However, after a while the idea started to really appeal to me and I thought it would actually look pretty good. Unfortunately my boyfriend at the time really hates septum piercings, especially on girls, ...

I'm certainly not writing about my negative piercing experience to deter anyone from having their septum pierced - I suppose I just want to encourage anybody seeking one to consult an extremely experienced piercer. I thought I was going to an experienced piercer - I've had a piercing by this particular 'artist' and it looks great and healed well. I started to get a bit nervous when the piercer repeatedly told an apprentice how difficult a septum piercing is to properly execute. He couldn't decide what sort of clamp to use (and ended up using two different kinds, as I'll ...

I've always loved the look of nostril piercings. Be they studs, rings, pretty little diamonds, or even strange things like cherries. They make people's faces look more striking, in a good way. I always envied people who have them. I made it a point to compliment them, because I just LOVED the way they looked! I decided that I had to have one at an early age. I ended up FINALLY getting it when I turned seventeen. Then losing it to complications due to my own poor decisions. But getting it again about a week ago. I'm very pleased with ...

About three weeks ago, I decided I really wanted to go ahead and get my septum pierced and really stoked to have it done. I called my piercer to see about jewelry option and if he had time etc. Decided to come in later that evening brought my wife and my ten year old daughter to come hang out, they are always there when I have anything done. :) Ben gets setup to pierce my septum and there is a group of older woman in the next studio raising hell and having a good time (all getting the same tattoo). ...
