Does getting your septum pierced hurt?
The spot that is pierced on the septum is the sweet spot. If the piercer goes to pierce cartilage they don't know what they are doing. Some people don't have a sweet spot but it's not so common and a piercer should inform you if you don't and that they would have to pierce cartilage. The sweet spot is flesh just like your lobes and it's actually way thinner than your lobes. Everyone has a different pain tolerance and every piercing is a different experience but when done properly, septum piercings usually don't cause a lot of pain. Piercings can hurt when they are being done and while they are healing. Septum piercings take 6-8 weeks to heal. My septum never hurt for me but again, every piercing is a different experience. If you clean it properly by doing sea salt soaks twice a day for 5-10 minutes each soak then the crust shouldn't get built up. Nor should it feel like glass scraping against your nose unless she was improperly moving the jewelry.
On a scale of 1-10 how much does getting your septum pierced hurt?
The septum is one of the more tender spots to get a piercing. I've had mine done for about 2 weeks and it feels fine. The initial piercing is very painful probably an 8 on a 1 to 10. But after about ten seconds with the jewelry in, you don't even feel it. You wake up in the morning and if you touch your septum it feels like you got punched in the nose, but its not horible. just make sure they don't go through the cartilage. Tell them to go through the thinnest part.
What is it like getting your septum pierced?
I got my septum pierced today :)What I'm going to say is my experience, and won't necessarily be the same for everyone.Before I got the piercing I did some research of how it's done, and the big question does it hurt. I trotted down to my local piercing shop and asked to have that done. I got taken to the piercing room he asked me what jewellery I would prefer. After a couple of mins of him setting up his equipment ( I made sure it was all sterile and one use) he then cleaned my nose (whilst I had my fingers crossed there wasn't any rogue boogies about to pop their head òut the cave lol) then he put his fingers up my nose to check for the sweet spot,which is the skin inbetween the cartilage and nostril. And then he applied the clamp, told me to breathe in slowly.and he put the needle through. Which brought on an enormous amount of tears, which is unavoidable. And then the blood started coming out. He gave my nose a clean up. ** never drink an energy drink before a piercing or alcohol I don't know about anyone else but makes me bleed easier and more.**Then he put the ring through and had to get the pliers to close the ring and apply the ball. Which took a whille. He cleaned me up made sure i was ok. Another piercer walked through And called me very brave And rather me than her. And then I turned around thanked him and said I've now got to pay you for the pain lol. He then làughed and said I didn't want to tell you at the beginning, but that is the most painful piercing to get even more than your private bit type piercings.Before I turn this answer into a novel, I will say All my research mostly told me the clamps would hurt more than the needle going through. I have a really high pain threshold. I've got 10 tattoos and I've had in total 25 piercings . I don't want to put anyone off getting this done. for me the clamps didn't hurt at all, but the needle going through worst piercing pain ive ever had. But everyones different, and aslong as you go to a reputable,clean, professional and experienced piercer. It's worth it. I've only had it less than 7 hours and I love it! Yay piercings are awesome :)
Does getting a septum piercing hurt more than a nostril piercing?
Like all piercings, the amount of pain you feel is relative to your tolerance. However, if the piercing is done correctly, you should feel nothing more than a light pinch and some pressure when they put the jewelry in. The piece of skin that is pierced in your septum is similar to the cartilage on your earlobe, so there are little to no nerve endings in the area.For me, my septum piercing was hardly painful at all and I honestly thought my ear piercings were worse since I could hear the needle going through. Either way, not enough to deter me from getting two earlobe piercings AND getting my septum done twice. (I had to take it out for work)Make sure you pick a shop that is clean, well known, and properly licensed. These shops should also have really friendly staff that will help ease your nerves and talk you through the process. It also doesn’t hurt to bring a friend along, too!
How bad does the septum piercing hurt?

Is it going to hurt to sneeze after getting septum pierced?
So I work at a place where dust accumulates very easy. I have been sneezing alot lately. Im fixing to get my septum pierced and I was wondering how bad it hurts to sneeze. Its a lame question, I know. Im just curious. No hateful answers please. Thank you :)
Is it normal for my throat to hurt after getting my septum pierced?
There are a lot of nerves in the nose. My septum was pierced about a month ago. When I went to hide it some days before I quit my job.. it would hurt and cause me to sneeze. Don't worry, this pain will go away as time heals all. Be careful of infection and try not to play around with it too much. The last thing you want is a nasty infection. :( I am unsure if it is causing your throat to hurt, just to make sure all is well, suck a few cough drops, drink tea with lemon and take care- it might be allergies! My advice would be to leave it hidden for a while. Once you feel better with it, flip it down, only if it's okay. You sound like you're doing a well enough job in soaking it. Try blowing bubbles with your nose in a cup of warm water with some un-iodized sea salt. Get well soon and one more thing- DON'T bump it! It'll hurt like a b*tch! D:
How bad do septum piercings hurt?
Actually, if you have the other piercings, you should be fine! The most important thing is to have a piercer that knows what they are doing... they will hit the area that is called the "sweet spot". I am sure you know allll about keeping it clean, not playing with it, etc... Here is a bit more info I found: Everyone has a "sweet spot," where the skin is soft and flexible and the piercing will be easiest to take and to heal. When the piercing is done in this spot, pain should be minimal and healing should be an easy 6 - 8 weeks. The procedure varies with piercer. It is usually done lying down, with the piercer leaning over your head, although some piercers will leave you sitting up. Many piercers will simply clean the area and have you stretch your nose down to feel the sweet spot. They will then use a hollow receiving tube to put pressure against one side of the septum, and line up the needle on the other side. As you exhale, the needle will pierce your septum and go into the receiving tube. Jewelry is inserted on the back of the needle, and the piercing checked for perfection. Some piercers will use a specially designed septum clamp to hold the septum steady as they pierce. Other piercers have other tricks to ensure a straight piercing. The exact method does not matter as much as the result. The piercing should appear straight and even to the face. It should not be through either the hard cartilage above the sweet spot, or through the thicker skin below. It also should not be back against the face, but rather closer to the tip of the nose, so it hangs at the front end of your nostrils. Septum piercings are easy to clean--twice a day with either antibacterial soap or EarCare--but it is essential that you do so. For one thing, a dirty septum piercing will smell as the dead skin cells inside build up, and you will be in a perfect position to smell it all. Also, while infections here are very rare, they can be quite serious, requiring prompt medical attention. So avoid them at all costs with some simple daily hygiene. Keep dirty hands off the piercing! You don't need to play with it or turn it through all day. If you need to center the jewelry, do so by grabbing the ball, rather than the actual ring. And cut down on smoking! Just think how much tar and nasty smoke residue is going into your piercing from each inhale and exhale, let alone each cigarette. Hope this helps! Good luck!
How much does it hurt to get a septum nose piercing?
My septum didnt hurt as much as I thought it might. I found that my nostril piercings stung more than getting my septum pierced. It was done with a retainer so I had the piercing and then immediately had to round a 90 degree bend to get the retainer in place. It STILL wasn't that awful. My septum is placed in that lovely squishy bit of skin in front of the cartilage, so it was ideally placed.As such it healed up in a few weeks according to plan. Cleaning it HURT like a string of inappropriate words if I got one tiny speck of crust into the piercing. It made my eyes water and my nose run, it stung that badly. As long as I soaked the piercing very thoroughly and swabbed around it with a q-tip before I moved it, everything was fine and it wasn't any more uncomfortable than a regular piercing to clean. If you've ever had your nipples pierced its the same kind of cleaning procedure. To clean my septum I soaked it and cleaned it with anti-bacterial soap twice a day. This was accented by sea salt soaks at least once a day. Soap worked much better for my septum than for other piercings I've healed since it didnt dry out the surrounding areas. If I had to give advice on how to clean a septum I would suggest soap once or twice a day and sea salt soaks twice a day. NEVER EVER move your jewlery unless you are cleaning it. If your jewlery moves on its own, thats fine. But do not move it yourself like to flip it up or even to straighten it out unless you are sure it is crust free. There are lots of things you can do/wear with your septum. I have a little 10g pincher shaped like (_) in mine. It's held in place with o-rings so it has a much easier time with hanging evenly. You can also wear a circular barbell, hoop, septum retainer, or even a septum spike. Most folks wear circular barbells or retainers to make the piercing easier to hide for work or school if they need to.
