Numbing to Pierce my Septum? [DIY septum experiences please]?

Alright usually I tell DIYers to not do it and all the risks and crap. But you seem really adamant on doing this yourself, and at least you looked into proper tools. I too pierced my own septum with proper equipment. (Here comes the thumbs downs!)

Insert the cork into the nostril where the needle with be exiting. Numbing cream isn't good for the septum piercing since its so important to pierce the sweet spot, you wont be able to feel it if its numb and you'll nick the cartilage.

So look in the mirror and line everything up. Stick the cork in one nostril. Push the needle through quickly once you're lined up and press it into the cork. Keep the cork on the end of the needle and feed your jewelry through the hollow end of the needle.

I've done other piercings on myself and I too was really hesistant on my septum because I thought I had to look in the mirror and that made it scary! If you pinch hard enough with the forceps it wont hurt, and if you get it right through the sweet spot so take your time lining it up.Good luck!
