i just got my septum pierced guys. i had my friend do it, not the safest, but it went well, and we were sanitary. i was too scared to do it by myself healing sucks though. the little crusties keep getting pushed through it, and it stings and makes my eyes water the piercing part didn't really hurt, and my friend even went slow. so if you're wondering, it's like a 2/10 for a second, and then it's over. but i lowk almost passed out. not from pain, just shock. but i didn't honestly i can't feel it the rest of the time. if you're thinking abt getting it, do it. it's super cute.
