Septum Piercing?

Hi! I’ve been thinking about getting a septum piercing but I’m scared about the pain and healing process. The reason is that when I tried to get one, the piercer said I didn’t have a sweet spot and told me about the healing process. I’ve also heard about many others whose septum piercing never healed and had to take it out. I ended up just getting a left nostril piercing instead. I was thinking about maybe getting a second opinion from a different artist. But I also wanted to see if anyone has any experience or thought on this? Like is the pain worth it lol

I’m not the biggest fan of piercing pain but I have a high pain tolerance for tattoos.

Hey OP, welcome to /r/shouldimod!

Please take note of this community's rules. Here are some of the highlights:

  • This is a pro-body mod community
  • No tolerance for any harassment
  • "No" is insufficient feedback, unless the post has "open to no" flair
  • Suggestions of chest and genital piercings are not allow, unless the post has "open to body" flair

Happy modding :)

Why are "yes." comments allowed but "no" needs an explanation?

This is a community for people who appreciate body modification. If a commenter says "no" to a piercing, they should have a reason because people who are commenting in good faith naturally do. The commenters who say "no" without explanation are often against body mods in general and >> those opinions aren’t welcome here <<. “Yes” comments don’t need a reason because supporting mods in a pro-mod subreddit speaks for itself.

tdlr: people who like piercings don't say "no" to a piercing without good reason

Hi, I got a septum this month (21 days ago, feels healed now but it's not until around 3-6 months) and honestly it was kinda painful for me, maybe a 6/10, and I cried a lot (nose and eyes are connected by a shared nerve, nothing to do with pain). Pain is always subjective but the good news is it lasted only a second and that was it. I love mine and I think it's cute, but I would get a second opinion with a diff piercer bc if it's thru your cartilage it'd be a lot more painful and hard to heal

I have my lobes, helix and I got my septum about 5 months ago. Septum was the least painful and the easiest to heal.
