Are sternum piercings a bad idea?

I really want to get mine done.

Do you have or know someone who has it done? Any bad stories? Roughly how long does it take to heal?

thanks :)

Update:

and yes i mean sternum, not septum. it's like a cleavage piercing.

    Um yes. Your sternum is the bone that holds your rib cage together.

    That would not heal,it would be a flesh wound.

    Wait, did you mean septum?

    Those hurt a few of my friends have them.

    And they hate them,but my one friend took hers out and it got very infected. I'd pass on it and get a nose stud or a industrial if you want to be different.

    Chest piercing would NOT be a good idea, but septum? Hmm (:

    I got my septum done last year and it took 6 weeks to heal.

    When the guy did it it stung and throbbed but then I sorta didn't feel anything.

    rather tongue piercing would not harm in any respect. I rather have 3 tongue pierced, the only factor you will go through discomfort is once you consume.. yet after like 2 weeks it's going to be thoroughly healed.. =) goodluck don't be afraid.
