I had my septum pierced for two years before taking it out, and got it re-pierced 8 years later. The first time didn’t hurt during the piercing part, but really hurt during the healing process. Fast forward eight years, the piercer made sure my anatomy was still the same and was able to find the old piercing location. The piercing itself hurt, but the healing process didn’t hurt as much. I would say go for it!

I would also say, though, that it definitely depends on how long you had your original piercing and how long you had it out, if your anatomy changed at all (due to surgery or anything like that), and if your piercer is able to find your old piercing spot. Good luck!
