septum piercing?

sorry for the sucky question title, but i have a lot to ask. (:

okay, so i want to pierce my septum, and just put a small retainer or something in there.

and i dont want my mom to find out, so i could just flip it up.

anyways, i'm not near old enough to get it professionally.

could i do it myself, or something?

my ex pierced his himself and it turned out perfect.

i went to a show yesterday and people told me i'd look really cute with a septum piercing. haha. (not to toot my own horn. ;D)

anyways, if you'd like to give your own opinion, that'd be great. (:

yeah, i gotz my myspace angles. 8)

    I would HIGHLY reccomend you get it done professionally , even if you have to make friends with some hobo of the side of the street thats 18 or older to take you because its safer and you will have a lower risk of infection. plus it will be quick and less painfull.

    but if you do decide to do yourself then....

    make sure every things sterile. VERY sterile

    the needle, the place where you piercing, and the gloves. all need to be sterilized.[where gloves]

    watch videos on it at youtube

    dont use a gun

    use a needle and make sure its the right guage

    and goodluck

    the after care is the most important part you need to soak it 2-4 times a day with this

    After getting any piercing, you have to leave the surgical steel piercing jewelry in while it heals. For the septum, it's about 6-10 weeks. They do make a piercing horseshoe that you can flip up into your nose. The plastic retainers are meant for use after your piercing had healed. Plastic is more porous, therefore would leave your fresh piercing more prone to infection.

    I would not recommend doing it yourself. There is a reason people have to apprentice to become a piercer.

    I have my septum pierced. And I do not recomend that you do it or have one of your friends do it for you. I want you to know that the septum is one of the most painful piercings that there is. And can get infected very easily, and it hurts the first week or so when you get it done. So do not get it. There is a reason your mom doesnt think you should have it.

    I had to wait a while till my mom finally said yes and I just got mine done on St. Pattys...

    I repeat DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF!!! GET it done profesionally....

    And in my opinion I do not think you would look good with a septum piercing. I am just being completely honest... Your nose looks a little to wide for it.

    Really think this over! I do not recomend you get it done.

    DON"T PIERCE YOUR OWN SEPTUM! it could become infected, and then you have to tell your mom. get it done professionally. i think that if you want to pierce your septum, you should be allowed to, only if your patents let you, since you need their permission to get it done professionally. in my opinion, people with septum piercings look like they have a bull ring through their nose. my cousin's Friend had a piercing that got ripped out during a fight, so now she has ripped and ugly scars. think about that with any piercing on your face. its an easy weak point.

    i would have mine done professionally.

    anyways, just get a needle and stick it through your nose where you can actually see the septum after its done

    not the hard section which is the bone or w.e

    then after flip it up so you cant your mom see

    you are gorgous :)

    Get it, but don't do it yourself

    get a friend that has expirience

    or go to a proffesional

    You'd look super cute with it,

    don't listen to what anyone says, get it and if worse comes to worse you can take it out :)

    Y'know, there is a reason why you have to be a certain age before you get pierced..

    It pays to wait. And what's up with those photos?

  • 1 decade ago

    no offence but i dont think it would suit you but hey its your nose not mine.but as your mum sees you everyday,she will notice it no matter what you have in it.its not worth the pain just to have to take it out when she sees it.
