I've always liked septum piercings and the fact that you can show or hide it whenever you want makes it even better. It's great that it's a hideable piercing because my school is very strict on piercings and I got absolutely done for my retired lip piercing. It's been a year since I got my retired lip piercing and I was craving for a piercing. I had thought about getting my lip redone but I didn't want to go through school hassling me again. I had thought about getting my septum done for months but I Never thought it would suit me and my tiny nose and just the thought of a needle going through on the inside of my nose made me cringe.
At A Glance Author Claire Contact electricmisery@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist Sandy Studio Body Cult Location Rundle St, Adelaide A few months of thinking about it later I was convinced that I wanted my septum done, but before me getting it done I wanted to do some research on it and ask around. After reading about through tons of stories on bmezine.com about it some saying it being painless and some saying it bizarre was definitely a plus for me due to I am quite the sissy when it comes to pain. I also had asked around with people that had septums and they said it was painless. But everyone is different with pain and pain tolerance so I didn't know what to expect but I definitely thought it would hurt more then when I had my lip done.
I decided I want to get pierced at a different place this time and I didn't have too much money . A friend had recommended me to get it done at Body Cult on Rundle St. and after seeing a girl's septum which she got done from there which looked great I was happy to be getting it done there. I wanted to get it done on Tuesday and couldn't wait but I was getting scared but excited bout it at the same time.
The day had arrived for Tuesday October 3rd and I was going to get my septum done. I had a check out of the place and had look at the prices and was happy with everything. I decided not to get it done on Tuesday due to me being scared shitless out of my mind about getting it done so I decided to book for Friday to give me a few days to think over and prepare myself for it. But my best friend had wanted to get her nipple done so I decided to go watch her get it done so I could see how they pierce or if they are any good etc. Her nipple piercing turned out absolutely great and perfectly straight and so I felt happy that I was getting pierced by someone that knew there stuff and all. I had asked the piercer about getting my septum done and she had told me its one of the highest on the pain factor which made me terrified.
After a lot of thought on Tuesday night I thought about getting it done on Wednesday instead because my best friend was up for getting her other nipple pierced. My nerves were building up so much I didn't know if I was okay hearing about it being very high on the pain factor. In my head I was going crazy. But I had a while to calm myself down as my best friend was getting pierced first, her other nipple turned out perfectly straight again and great and it made me less nervous about getting my septum done since she was a really good piercer.
So it was my turn, I sat on the chair and I started freaking out. My best friend told me it will all be okay and worth it and look really good on me. And I thought I can't back out now I mean no pain no gain right? The piercing had prepared everything out and was ready to pierce me. She had to feel up my nose first for the sweet spot so she could pierce me. Then she cleaned my nose and it was awful It felt so stingy but it was over in a matter of seconds. She clamped my nose. I don't know why everyone says that the clamp is a pain when it is its not painful at all for the clamping. I closed my eyes as I definitely didn't want to see any of it and I didn't want to see the needle what so ever. 1, 2, 3 and bam the needle when in and I'll tell you it hurt like a bitch it was so bloody painful for me and the experience wasn't over she still had to put the jewelry in. When the jewelry went in it was painless. And everything was all done. She cleaned my nose again and gah it was painful again. But a few minutes later I couldn't feel anything.
I was so happy after that, she got my piercing absolutely straight and it looks absolutely fantastic I love it so much! I never thought it would suit me and my tiny nose but it does! Its hard to flip it up because it won't fit with both the balls on the ring and so I have to take one ball off the ring to flip it up. Its been two days since I got my septum pierced and at the moment its flipped up. My nose has been quite sore ever since but the salt wash makes it feel better. I definitely recommend you get pierced at body cult if you live in Adelaide their great people and the piercer is bloody good at what she does!! And its well worth going through all of that pain if you want It done.
