    I got my septum done about 2 years ago, but after getting a bout of the flu I took it out and let it heal. Got it re-pierced about a year ago cause I was finished up in school, and I've had it in ever since. It stung quite a bit, and did make my eyes water, but both piercers had told me to expect that. Overall it was bearable and the pain didn't last too long.

    Grand, I've been wanting to get my septum done for some time now. Although I'm flying to America in 4 weeks so I'm not sure if I can get it done before then. I know that when I got my nose pierced there was something about not being able to fly for a while after...

    I think the problem with the 'does it hurt' question is while that everybody varies with pain thresholds, it's a piercing so it obviously will hurt!
    But if you honestly tell someone that it hurt a lot, you can freak them out and put them off and if you tell them it was fine, didn't hurt at all, they won't be expecting it if it really does hurt! :eek:

    Well, Robynne, have you got your piercing yet?
    Remember, in regards to the pain issue- it's a maximum of a few seconds pain and then you have a great piercing! :D

    Yeah your right! But I dont mind if someone says yes it will hurt ... if it did hurt them because I know everyones different I just like to hear opinions :) ....

    Maybe a 'does it hurt' sticky?

    Wow that sentence looks dirty. Seriously though it does get repeated a lot.

    To answer the original question, it only hurt when I forgot it was there and went to rub my nose only to be painfully reminded that the itch was caused by a new piercing.

    haha ... I know I just want to talk to people with the piercing or whatever...
    Awwwh right ok! Well thanks for the reponse! :)

    You can get a retainer which is like a clear coloured stud that you can use if you need to hide it. Although a nose piercing normally takes between 6-8 weeks to heal and it's not recommended to change the stud/ring before that time. But I guess you can just ask in the piercing studio :)

    Yeah asked him and he said it can take 4-5 months to heal! :o ...
    and I cant get it pierced with a retainer... I was hoping it wouldnt take that long and id be able to do it when Id time off school ... but i dont know what to do now :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 682 ✭✭✭Viva La Gloria


    I was lucky, I sort of just 'showed up' with it in work and hoped for the best. Hardly anyone even noticed :P

    I assume you're over 18 because if not, you won't get pierced anywhere reputable.

    not a does it hurt question but lik how annoying is a septum piercing when you have a cold?!!! it seems lik the most annoying thing that one could ever have


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,477 ✭✭✭✭Raze_them_all


    Ha ha yeah it is very annoying alright

    It's all right if it's been healed a while, but if it's new the constant sniffling and rubbing your nose can irritate the hell out of it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 430 ✭✭Sparkles:)


    might just put that one off until after the auld winter so... how long does it take to heal? 6weeks?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I forget how long it took mine to heal, I got it around Halloween of last year and it was grand by Christmas anyway.

    Im 18 in May ... its over 16 withouth an adult present for most piercings... over 18 for some particular ones.. so everywhere is the same on that one ..

    Oh really? :P might not be so bad so ! :P ... I want a few piercings like a few on my ear and bellybutton too so it might be wise to go for the less obvious ones first .. but I suppose a nose stud is fairly small anyway :)

    Septum piercings look unreal I think :)
