Tearing out a septum is no fun (click through for another view of this rejected septum)… On one hand I want to say that this placement was too low to be stable anyway, but then I keep thinking “what if it was a traumatic injury… maybe it’s lucky it was pierced too low!” Either way, ouch!

ouch.. bet that sucked
omg… My worst nightmare. Hope it will turn out well for him.
Oh shit… I didn’t even know you could tear a septum out without ripping the nose off… oh shit again.
Damn! You’re right though, it was pretty low.
(uh, I hate being a geek, but you’ve got a little messed-up code bit above the pic)
xoxo
does he plan on fixing it? and, ummm, can it be fixed?
and does he plan on cleaning his nose before taking any more pictures
That was possible the worst-placed septum I’ve ever seen. It was WAY TOO LOW.
how did this happen?????
Really need to have the full story behind it all, in the intrest of completness you know.
Also, aaaooooowwwwww.
My god, why was it EVER placed that low?
and..OUCH!
Wow.
His left nostril has the gnarliest booger ever… I think that’s why the septum rejected: to get away from that creepy nose goblin.
AHH.
That’s definitely the most disgusting thing I’ve seen on here.
Just thinking about trying to make this repair is hurting my brain. With the tissue missing, it’s going to be a challenge for his nose to be brought back together without changing the shape of things all together.
Yikes…
My (former) septum ring was placed pretty low like that, but in the defence of the piercer I have a very teeny little nose and she had never pierced a septum before (thus the reason my piercing was free and only lasted about 6 months).
I can’t even imagine how bad that hurt mate… *shudder*
I like the boogers once you click thru to the other set of pics..
my worst nightmare. how the hell does this happen?
My only question that could possibly be answered by this person: assuming it was a rejection, how could you NOT notice this happening, and take measures to prevent this?
I am once again amazed by ModBlog.
#6 — Thank you!
First thing I thought after seeing the click-through.
#6 I was thinking that too earlier but didn’t want to voice it because i didn’t want people complaining about it!! 🙂
ouh shit! just yesterday decide to pierce my septum. fuck.
I normally don’t get grossed out but this rubbed me the wrong way :\
that’s an ongoing nightmare i have..
CLEAN UR NOSE
Seriously though. Ow. *pats her septum lovingly*
Mine is place pretty low too – I’ve got a short little nose. I like it that way and it’s not as low as this guy’s was (thank god!) but it is a bit of a worry for me. I’m considering healing it up and seeing if it can be placed a little higher.
For those who have noticed, the model/scene-y queen thing Audrey Kitching has a low septum piercing as well. I wonder why?
Boogers.
does anyone know if anyone has ever had a good chunk of their septum removed to creat the “uni-nostril” look ? It’s actually a rather interesting look when you think about it. But would it affect functionality ?
i always wondered if there were any cases of septums being ripped out, and what the surrounding tissue would look like afterwards
Well, he’s not a nose picker.
ouch..
argh that is just argh…. i couldnt imagine mine being ripped out… thats why i avoid moshpits and fights… how did that happen
if it was pierced right to begin with that wouldn’t have happened, so whoever pierced that is an idiot, and should probably be living on the streets giving head for crack instead of piercing in a shop.
oh yeah the bugars are grosssss! why would you take pictures with that narstiness there?
Yo, it doesnt even look like it was through his septum, more like through the skin infront of it…. maybe it was DIY… I dont want to think that “professionals” would be capable of this.
I heard about a kid who had his rip through after hitting the stearing wheel of his car during an accident (his was a 2g I think) and thats exactly why I took out my steel plug and opted for a silicone earskin, if this is a case of shitty placement then damn
aye, shannon, today’s posts have made me tremble at the thought of my vertical hood and my septum piercings coming to horrible ends. 🙁 ::knock on wood::
wlcm2t3hmachine – Sadly, I’ve seen these low placements from “professionals” in the past…….
@12: LOL!
That must have bloody hurt though!
ouch friggin ouch hope they manage to get them healed to a satisfactory state.
I dreasd this ever happening to me, I’d rather have a lobe split!
That’s so scary, my worst nightmare! 35 – i’d have thought at 2g it would be nearly impossible, hence why i’m stretching. now i’m even more worried!
omg ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch.
its like! in that movie strange land…at the end when the dude tears out dee’s septum ring.
Ouch, scary =/
Initially I thought, yuk. What a horrible placement.
Then I thought of The League of Gentlemen.
I’ve seen “professional” septum piercings with terrible placement before. Proof that not all “professionals” are worth the cost. I’m a DIYer and have done three septum piercings with PERFECT placement. This gives me more of a reason to start piercing in a shop.
Uhhhh… Even knowing that it probably rejected out and didn’t “tear” out that looks incredibly painful to me.
I wonder how soon after he lost it these pictures were taken. I’m also really curious as to what exactly happened cuz, well, ouch.
Wait… a septum can reject? Or was that just too low? I always thought my septum was kinda low but not like that!
And people wonder why experience reviewers start drinking heavily….
that’s a hot mustache…..
