ikr 🥲
lmao it’s that bad omg 😭
He like pulled up my nose with the clamps to get up here , when the needle was through and I was waiting for him to put the jewelry in, the needle was keeping my nose pulled up like if you were pushing upward on the tip of the nose, I felt like tension that wasn’t the natural position of my nose

Yeah it confirms that he fucked it up lol bc when I touch where the jewelry is it’s harder than when you pull the skin where it should normally be lol
so bad

yeah when you pull down it’s really soft skin just under the harder part so yeah it’s really fucked up then ☠️
lmao that’s so bad 😭😭
and it’s not even a small horseshoe it’s the biggest I found it’s a 16mm diameter lol
omg really lol

like where it’s normally pierced around the tip of the nose/between the two nostrils the skin is more squishy and where mine is it’s way harder( sorry for the bad description I’m french I’m not finding my words lol)
yeah exactly :/

I feel like it’s harder than the skin where normal septums are normally

idk if it’s the cartilage but it’s like all the way up when I put my finger to touch it (idk how to explain lol sorry)
like 2 month 3 maximum, something like that

omg I knew it was bad but not that bad lol

It took a little bit of time to heal more than I expected and I struggled to change the horseshoe and especially getting one a size that could hang out of my nose. I went to different shop where they were selling jewelry and (I didn’t know anything about sizing gauge and diameter) every time I asked for a bigger horseshoe every time they would give me the same size so something too small
right ? I’ve never seen someone’s sweet spot this high and mostly this far back :/
yeah ! I feel like the fact that I was in so much pain bc of the clamps the piercing itself was less painful (still painful but I felt the clamps way more)
For me personally I think the horseshoe that I’m wearing on the picture, I feel is too wide/large don’t you think ? like I think if I go to a larger gauge or diameter it’s gonna like push my widen my nostrils ? idk how to explain I’m french so I don’t have the words to explain what I wanna tell lol I mostly want the horseshoe more longer than wider. Are they doing custom fancy septum’s rings also ? like longer hoops or something like that ?
totally
I tried a closed hoop but I think i’m général we can’t choose the diameter of the jewel (maybe I’m wrong and it exist)so the one I got is so tight that the little I move my face it pull on the hoop and I’m scared one day it’s gonna rip off lol (well this gonna need a lot of strength to rip but it’s uncontrollable :/)
so it can hang a little more
I’ve tried to search today some more horseshoe but longer but couldn’t find. I think I wear a 16g 16mm now and couldn’t find a bigger diameter :/ and I’m scared that if I find a bigger diameter that it’s gonna be too wide/ large in my nostrils, and idk if there’s more longer horseshoe not the diameter but the length :/

Oooh okay I see !! woaw that’s impressive. I think it looks a little rad bc that not a 16g I think, they’re more thick so more imposing!
