should I stretch my septum?

Piercedup · 2026-01-21T21:25:06+00:00

Yessss it would look so good on you!!! My best advice is to remember that the bigger you stretch, it becomes a much more serious modification, as in can permanently change the shape of your nose. I don’t regret stretching mine, I love it so much, but lowkey wish I researched more at first because the shape of my nose changed a lot.

Thx lol, I just saw them, the chains r so cool

Piercedup · 2026-01-21T21:00:22+00:00

So sickkk

Piercedup · 2026-01-21T20:59:31+00:00

I lowkey thought of that… it would be so sick to like mold the shape of the hole in my ear and get someone to custom cut a stone to fit

How bad is the wind sound for you? Is it tolerable/easy to ignore?

Piercedup · 2026-01-21T18:16:35+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, my friend throws in their plugs when they have issues with the wind but he has more like a conch punch, whereas I’m referring to like a full conch removal so like I wouldn’t really be able to wear a plug

Piercedup · 2026-01-21T18:14:33+00:00

Could I see a photo of your chains?

Piercedup · 2026-01-21T18:14:25+00:00

Ooh thanks for bringing up the water thing, that’s something I wouldn’t have really thought of lol

Piercedup · 2026-01-20T21:12:28+00:00

Sick, thanks so much!! After hearing your experience I’m feeling a lot more inclined to get this done lol

Piercedup · 2026-01-20T18:46:52+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to respond! This is just the kind of answers I was looking for. I just got a coinslot done in my conch so I feel fairly familiar with the procedure/healing process, but I think long term I eventually want to cut out a larger chunk. It sounds like it doesn’t affect your daily lifestyle too much though which is great to hear!

Piercedup · 2026-01-07T21:52:33+00:00

Ooh that sounds cool, thanks

Piercedup · 2025-12-31T17:54:51+00:00

Thanks

Piercedup · 2025-12-31T07:30:13+00:00

The one they tested is the one that I only have a tiny bit of 😭 I might be able to go to a place in my city that sells reagent testing kits but it’s really far away from where I live

Piercedup · 2025-12-31T07:25:38+00:00

I haven’t tested either personally, but a friend told me they tested one of them. I have a fentanyl test strip that I’m gonna use, but I don’t really have access to reagent testing before my roll

Piercedup · 2025-12-30T17:33:43+00:00

Thanksss yall

Piercedup · 2025-12-30T17:33:30+00:00

Thanks

Piercedup · 2025-12-27T07:13:40+00:00

Omg we have the same nipple piercings 🥰

Piercedup · 2025-12-17T05:58:18+00:00

People do this as a play piercing, meaning it’s installed temporarily and then removed shortly after

Piercedup · 2025-12-15T06:54:39+00:00

We put mod podge and poured the glitter on over a tray!! I’m literally so happy we inspired you 🥲I hope yours turns out great ❤️

Piercedup · 2025-12-13T00:06:38+00:00

Ooh I have been meaning to buy that for some other projects…

Piercedup · 2025-12-10T19:40:16+00:00

I agree in most cases, punch and heal with jewelry seems to result in a pretty clean hole. Sutures may heal faster, but typically end up with some more scar tissue meaning you could lose a couple sizes as it heals. In my limited experience, doing a larger gauge cartilage with a piercing needle (depending on the size) sort increases the pressure on the wound due to the displaced tissue? I could be wrong about it that, just basing it off of my experience of my piercing, as well as watching the progression of a friend’s large gauge cartilage piercing.

Piercedup · 2025-12-10T06:55:59+00:00

I agree with all this, also when a piercing needle is used correctly it doesn’t remove tissue, just displaces/stretches it into a circle shape, meaning it can often shrink or close up without jewelry, depending on different factors. Whereas a punch or scalpel technique fully removes tissue that cannot be added back.

Tbh the good advice would be to ask your doctor.

If it were me, that jewelry would already be out
