Do septum piercings hurt?

Question

And do you bleed when you get it done?

Answer 1

 Wow, idk what everyone else is talking about saying it hurts, i had a friend do mine and i even had to gauge it to the right size and it still didnt even hurt!! and she nicked the cartilage a little, and so its sensitive whenever i bump it now, but really they dont hurt (: easy to do yourself too!! 

Answer 2

No! Not at all. It took half a second to do. It was a pin prick then it was over. Those of you who said it hurt so bad, your piercer must have got the cartilage, If they get the skin between the nose and the cartilage, it shouldn't hurt at all. Mine bled when I got it done and was a little sore for the next couple days, but it didn't swell. I love my seppy. Check it out.

Answer 3

i just did mine myself, it didn't hurt at all, just felt really weird, its a tad bit crooked (not really noticeable from a distance)i'd say its good for someone's first self piercing

Answer 4

I got mine and the needle going through hurt pretty bad but after that there was absolutely no pain, not even right after he pierced it. It healed very quickly and I'm happy with my piercing :]

Answer 5

If your piercer knows what they're doing, then they'll pierce you in the "sweet spot." The "sweet spot" is the spot where there is little pain. You'll need to find it. Just pinch an area between your nose, and where it doesn't hurt or there's very little pain, then that's it. Experienced piercers will try to pierce that spot, and it should either not hurt at all or hurt very little.

Answer 6

You idiots saying that it hurts, I doubt you even have it done. It's just the skin between the bottom of your nostrils, and your cartilage in between. it's more or less the same pain as getting a lip piercing.

Answer 7

well wouldnt the person who is doing it know where the sweet spot is?
just in case i would tell them how high or low you want it
if they do what you told them it shoulnt hurt. it should feel like a pinprick.
if you dont focus on the piercing when your getting it done, its really not bad at all
good luck!:)
