will i be okay?

If you want it to be flipped up I’d ask the piercer to do it when you get pierced because you want it to stay pretty much in the same spot for healing so constantly flipping it up and down will irritate it. You also may need to be 18 to get it. Every shop I’ve been to you have to be 18 to get any piercing unless you have a parent to sign for you. But anyway nobody will see it unless they’re looking up your nose.

so my family is anti facial piercings so i got my septum pierced as a compromise for myself. you won’t be able to see it flipped up unless someone looks up your nose. I would also recommend keeping it flipped up while it’s healing for a couple weeks because constantly moving it up or down will irritate. It shouldn’t get infected if you’re cleaning it regularly. Mine did hurt a lot while it was healing but only if my nose got pushed, so unless your parents are constantly touching your nose, you should be fine. one last thing, when you do have it flipped down, don’t forget about it when you get home. that happened to me a few times. I was able to say it was fake and would just pull it up next time i came out of my room lol

I got mine done this past December. My mom was against it, but being 22 she can’t really do anything about it. I have a high pain tolerance when it comes to piercings, so getting it pierced didn’t hurt to me. For about a month it was sore & hurt if it got bumped. I would keep it flipped up during the healing time. I used sea salt and warm water. Stir it together & used a qtip to clean it.
