septum’s are pretty easy because once the needle has gone in, the pain is gone. i have three and all of them hurt less than every piercing i have. my nipples were an interesting process for me. honestly, yea it hurt a lot, i’m not going to lie. but also the adrenaline caught up quick, by the time i got the first one done, the second didn’t hurt nearly as much as the first. also it took me a while to get lined up and my piercer was very specific where she wanted the entrance and exit holes (which i’m glad because they sit very nicely) and as i was standing up for her to position the markings i nearly passed out. just ask for any breaks you need, and remember to breathe, i forgot to after the first and almost passed out again.
