I remember getting my septum pierced, several thousand years ago, squirming in my chair the piercing shop, abjectly terrified of the pain that I’d been repeatedly assured I’d endure, surrounded by friends I was convinced were losing massive amounts of respect for me by the second. And then … it was over, and I couldn’t help but smile. It’s hard not to think of that when I see Amelie up there going through a similar experience:
Just the feeling when you arrive to the shop. You sit down, meanwhile he does the preparation … when the butterflies sort of start tumbling in my belly, when he marks out where the piercing will be, when he grabs the forceps and puts it into place and then he grabs the needle and when the word comes:
“And breathe in,” he checks that it will go through right. “And exhale.”
If the adrenaline wasn’t already pumping it EXPLODES and the feeling is ecstatic. No pain — just an amazing feeling which I can’t live without.

i can remember shedding a tear or two. the first time i had it done i sneezed as soon as the needle was on me and thank elvis(god) i went with a well experienced piercer that antisipated it. because of my sensitivity, i jerked the first attempt making the piercing a bit crooked. the second attempt was right as rain, i still shed a tear, what can i say, im a sensitive boy.

my septum was probably the easiest piercing i’ve had to date. my 8g second lobes were pretty rough.

Mine sucked for a minute or two, then it was all good. Still have it 14 years later.

Hhaha! I just got my septum done not too long ago. That was severely intense! The clamp that my piercer was using got stuck in my nose, and i just felt my whole face and body going rigid, and i thought i was pulling away. haha It was a lot of pain, but i love it. Those pictures make it seem like it doesnt hurt at all

Convincing parent’s shouldn’t be too hard, you can just flip it up anytime you need to. Out of sight, out of mind. Just had mine done a few months ago, going to start stretching soon.
