hey guys! so im considering piercing my septum this year (im 17) and my parents will FLIP. school is considerably okay though, as long as i flip it up but i don't know what to do.

it's fair to say that i will be alone most of the time this year as i have to study all the time for my university entrance exam which is in a year.

im worried about three things:

1- my parents finding out

2- infections

3- being in a lot of pain even after a month or so

this is my nose and i don't think people will see it from sideways if i flip it up

what do you think?
