Want to get a septum ring, but unsure...
Frontier Guy:
Thanks Magoo.
A septum ring is a very personal decision. To me, it says a lot about who I am - just like my shaved head it is part of the total package. I am totally comfortable and confident in myself. And like my shaved head I wish I'd gotten the septum piercing long ago instead of dallying and worrying what people might think.
Remarkably, I have far more friends since I added the ring than before, which I believe is better attributed to my increased self-confidence. I really don't have much time or patience for anyone who would feel squeamish about being seen WITH me. Those are their issues.
The septum ring has been a remarkable icebreaker. I have been blessed to meet many incredible people in all walks of life from around the world where the conversation started simply because they were curious.
Added bonus. It helps distinguish me from all the other tall, bald, goodlookin' guys wandering around this metro area. (intended tongue in cheek) I am, ahem, somewhat unforgettable. LOL. The only time I remove it is for work when I clock in (not approved business appearance) ... and I become quite invisible in the crowd.
Oh yeah, sense of humor is essential. You truly cannot take yourself too seriously when you are different - whether it's a piercing, a tat, a shaved head or any of a myriad of other differentiators.

This is my favorite line. O0

I would say that they work against your looks for something hanging out of your nose.
If you want an extreme piercing, as I consider a septum, go for a PA. They are great.

I have had my septum at a low gauge for awhile now and it's a great piercing. It's easy to turn up inside your nose if you don't want it out at certain times.
