I have a 00gauge septum. (I can almost put a sharpie through it)

My tip would be don't wait until winter to get it, the freeze/thaw, SUCKS.

Don't use a saline solution to clean it, I don't why so many piercers recommend cleaning piercings with it but it only dries it out, and leaves it more prone to infection. Use polysporin with antibiotic in it.

If you have plans for stretching it, use medical grade lubricant and only stretch a gauge every 3-4 months. You do not want it to tear.


I think the first words my gf said to me when I met her was, "Hey, I can see through your nose!"

I've had a septum for years now.  By the same token, I have to admit that I don't have the jewelry in that much these days.  (I had to stop and pop it back in! HEHE)  Because the piercing is going through a flap of skin and not cartilage, it didn't hurt hardly at all.  In fact, getting my ears pierced with a gun hurt worse.  Your eyes will water, but that's about it.  Also, the jewelry that I usually wear allows me to tuck the septum jewelry up into my nostrils, so that people can't tell that I have it when it's necessary to tuck it up out of the way.  Hope this helps.
