I wouldn't worry too much about the septum piercing. I know it's different for everyone, but for me it was more of a weird burning than any type of actual pain. I haven't heard anyone say that it's been really awful for them pain-wise, either! mine was pretty damned painful... but mine's way up in the cartilage. when i pierced through the sweet spot many years later, it was far less painful. Yeah, I can imagine it being pretty awful through the cartilage. My septum piercing experience was kinda weird overall. I went to a decent place, but the person bent the first needle she used somehow when she tried to pierce thru my sweet spot. My eyes were watering like crazy and my nose was tingly after that, haha. On another note, I really want to get my daith pierced. I've always admired the aesthetic, and those lunears by body gems are so cute in them!

Primary lobe piercings have shrunk from 12mm. Not sure what size they are now, somewhere around 14-12g? Also have 14g seconds and 14g septum. Most of the time I don't even wear jewelry anymore but that's because I'm not in love with what I have. Need to clean out and update my collection.

I really want my nostrils redone at 14g, but I won't do it until I have money that I'd consider "extra". I also really want my right room redone so my ears can be more symmetrical again, but it's not completely bothering me for now to just have the left one.

Do it! I know that pain is subjective, but I'm one of the biggest babies out there when it comes to needles (surprisingly enough) and I got my septum done. Other than a sharp pinch there really wasn't much too it. I was worked up over the needle but I closed my eyes while my piercer did it, and managed not to bawl my head off. It isn't so much the pain I'm worried about, I just need to sit down and figure out the logistics, like where I'll go to get it done and when I should get it done. Lately I've been thinking I might make it my present to myself for my next birthday.

I like lists!
14mm-15mm lobes dexter: 16g lobe, 6g helix, 16g rook sinister: 14g conch, 16g daith 8g septum 14g upper navel
I'm planning an 18g left nostril piercing after runny nose season is over, and a vertical labret once my teeth are all in place. I would also love a pair of 10g outer labia piercings, but we shall see what the cards say about those.

Currently I have: 14g nipple piercings, 6g septum, 14g bilateral nostrils, 4g lobes and 2 sternum microdermals.
I want to get my philtrum repierced and get some other things but I need to wait until I'm not working in a kitchen.

i currently have just standard 18g/16g lobes now. I let them downsize. I got kind of bored and they never really wanted to stretch past 4g. I do have plans to get my septum down and maybe another piercing somewhere in my ear. I'm not sure.

all i have jewelry in right now are my nipple & septum piercings! i'm gonna put jewelry back in some of my lip piercings soon. i'm thinking i'll do the paired uppers for a bit. i also need to stretch my nipple piercings but righty has been on-and-off irritated for the past month or so (most likely due to being only 14g) so i haven't found a good time.

Britt, totally muscling in here, buutt.. you're planning a magnet removal? Is it rejecting or just not really doing anything for you? Also r.e. septums: I've had two done - one thru the sweet spot, one dermal punch through cartilage - and they both fucking hurt and made me tear up. Punch was bad enough that I want to get it corrected but keep shrugging it off.. but that's also because I don't trust anyone near me to do it.

My lobes have been at 8mm-9mm for ages, 9mm is a bit of a struggle right now cos it's been a few weeks at 8mm only. 12g nipples, 4g septum. Would love to get my septum to 0g but I don't have the space for any kind of flares which I found out after stretching to 2g. 14g industrial which I'll be trying to stretch to 12g when my Anatometal bar comes in, but I don't know if I have space, the 14g bar presses against my helix but I'll give it a shot.
Would love a tongue piercing but my teeth are really weak. I've chipped both front teeth apparently just from breathing so I don't think it's a good idea. Considered a Christina piercing but never got around to it.

I was examining my collarbone surface anchors earlier and HOLY COW they are uneven as fuck. Like how did I never notice that? The left one has been causing me issues anyway, enough to want to remove, but that is terrifying and I have having them touched at all.
I also need to get my right higher nostril re-done AGAIN. Whomp Whomp.

Britt, totally muscling in here, buutt.. you're planning a magnet removal? Is it rejecting or just not really doing anything for you? It's kinda become annoying, like I can always feel it there, and the magnet is super weak. I can pick up a paper clip, but the bigger ones are even too heavy. I also can't feel magnetic fields that well, other than maybe a powerful microwave or if my hand gets really close to my alarm clock. I can see the color if the magnet and a bump in my finger. It doesn't hurt at all, so it's hard to tell if it's really rejecting or if it's just migrated a bit. But it's become a nuisance lately.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like it's doing much for you, and if you can see it under the skin it probably is trying to come out, it's just harder to do on its own. You have a Haworth implant right? I wonder what removal is like.
I went through a sick period early this year and my magnet areas felt kind of bruised and angry for two weeks - I got scared that they'd reject, but they haven't. I really hope I get the supposed 20 years out of them, haha.
