Attempt at a DIY septum piercing.
I guess the subject says it all.
I just now tried to pierce my septum with a 14g hollow needle I bought. And needless to say, it didn't work out as I expected.
Needle went half way through, blood started pouring as well as tears. The needle refused to go any further so after I removed it, I tried to insert the jewellry. No dice. It only went in half way.
So what do I have to show for myself now, except runny eyeliner and a bleeding nose? An unforgetable experience! That was my first time every attempting to perform a bodymod on myself. Better luck next time, if there is one.
Other than the light soreness of my nose... I feel another pain. After performing the above, I called up my boyfriend Brandon (spookyskarekrow) to let him know what had just happened.
He was not too pleased. I had told him straight out before that I badly wanted a septum piercing. He was opposed to the idea and told me he can't stop me from getting one but he doesn't want me to have it, and he'll be very upset with me if I ever do have one. I told him then I wouldn't go and get my septum pierced as I had planned in May.
But tonight... I don't know. I had the needle and the jewellry and the balls.. and I went and tried. As of now, I have a small hole in the septum. (I'm assuming will heal over by tomorrow), but alas, no septum piercing. Yet, he is extremely upset with me because I attempted it.
So now, I don't know what to do. He tells me I may as well go to a shop and get it done because I already tried once. I still badly want it done. The pain was nothing to me. Nor the blood or tears. And I feel I have every right to have something I want.
I hate this... No matter how much it means to me.. I still have to feel guilty knowing it's not what HE wants.
I know he's reading this as well. I don't expect him to have any more to say on the subject. And I really don't have anything else to say to him concerning this. Except, I'm sorry. I should have atleast told you before I went and did this. But I cant change anything now and atleast I did tell you.
Can anyone offer any advice on what I should now do?
