Want to get a septum ring, but unsure...
Jotun:
Old_Hippie, I want to get a labret and stretch it like yours, just wondering if you've had any problems with gum recession?

What are the 2 CBR and CBB? I've no idea what the abbreviations mean, but have to admit I'm quite intrigued by septum piercings.
Jotun:
A captive bead ring(CBR) is a complete ring with a bead held in the middle, like Old_Hippie has in his photo above. A Circular barbell(CBB) is a circlular horseshoe shaped ring with a ball screwed into both ends. These are ideal for those with jobs that don't allow piercings, as they can be flipped up into the nose with only really short people noticing. I prefer CBRs since I like it looking more solid. Cheaper too, since they're not as complex to make.

The CBR that I'm wearing (in my ear) right now requires tools to remove the ball, so it's in there for the longer term. Same would go for a segment ring. Up to about 14 gauge you can replace the beads yourself. After that, you need tools.
