When A week ago
About two years ago, I did my very first nose piercing, I love piercings. I originally wanted to pierce my septum, ever since I was a little kid I have always wanted my septum pierced, but I wasn't aloud so I had to settle for a right nostril ball captive ring. I was quiet content with it, but it wasn't the placement I wanted to do in the first place (my dad wouldn't approve of a septum piercing). Time passed by, and I often found myself wondering "I wonder what would happen if I just went ahead an re-pierced my nose at the septum?", so, I did, and If given the choice I would have done the same exact thing, even though my dad threatens to rip it out.

A few days passed by, I loved it, and my dad never noticed it (he's not very observant). It took him over a month to realize what have I done to my nose, and by then, it was too late. Looking in the mirror, and after seeing many stretched septum pictures I wanted to do the same, a regular 14g just looked too small to me. It took me quiet some time to actually find the time to start the stretching, but I finally got around too it. I was excited, and once again, never told my parents, by then they figured id do it anyway, and at least I'm not doing drugs.

my first septum stretching was about 6 months ago, from a 12g to an 8g. I found that it was actually quiet easy, and not so painful. All this time people I knew were saying "Damn, that's going be a bitch. It's going be sore for a month" or "That's a stupid idea, how are you supposed to wipe your nose?". Those remarks were rather......unpersuasive, especially since none of them had piercings themselves. In fact, they were always skeptical on what I usually do. They think I'm crazy, but that's not the point, the point is, I like piercings, stretching, and other mods, and I'm going do what I can.

My second stretching was about 4 months ago, I wanted to wait a good amount of time just to make sure it was fully healed and wouldn't tear, I have a bad habit of expecting the worst.....and then experiencing it. it was just one size, 8g to a 6g, no problems there either, I was quiet proud, but was still feeling a bit unsatisfied. One night, just randomly, I got bored and looked in the mirror, and thought to myself "This 6g just isn't big enough, I think ill go o a 4g.",and like the snap decision I made to pierce it in the first place, I bought a taper, and a plug, lubed it up and slipped it in. I just loved how easily it was, till had no problem.

Which brings me to the most recent stretch, the one you have been waiting for (drum roll please), I lubed up the taper.....but it wouldn't go through. I was rather disappointed, the first time it didn't go through right away so.....I tried again. Still nothing, still a 4g, a sore one. Quiet infuriated, I romped around the room in a foul mood, romping always helps me feel better. I waited a good 2 weeks before I attempted again.

The big day came, will it work, or flop like before. I lubed up the taper, slid it through, it got stuck for a minute and I was thinking "Crap, it isn't going to go through like before.". But in a miraculous effort without any added pressure, it slide though (crowd cheers) my eyes watered, and my nose turned red for a few minutes, but then went back to normal. I kept he taper in for a few minute as to slide the plug in easier, and I just might be satisfied with it. Cleaning it was annoying, but it has to be done, with great piercings, comes great responsibilities, and with great responsibilities comes great rewards and pleasure, expessialy if the piercing looks damn good. My school did not like my piercings, as at that time I just started when I moved to Biloxi MS, but they cant say anything anymore as the school has been destroyed (ha, me with piercings 1, school 0)

It's a week now since the final stretching.....so far. Looking in the mirror sporting a black horn tribal pincer, and might I say, it looks damn spiffy. It brings tears to my eyes (not really) just thinking of how my septum started from a 14g, and ended up being a 2g.....they grow up so fast *sniff*. But now I'm thinking to myself.....yet again, "Should I make it bigger?". Maybe, but I jus have to make sure it does not get in the way of things, that's what my girlfriend says, so I have to obey her or suffer the dire consequences.
