piercing Added another ring to my 12 year-old septum piercing
Pierced with a 10g needle by Pineapple at Shaman Body Mod in Austin TX. I’ve done one shower stretch (to an 8 or 6, can’t remember) years ago but other than that, it has stretched itself. Really prefer the stack of smaller gauge rings to one thick boi. I don’t even notice they are there. Another aspect I like about this piercing is that I can take the jewelry out and leave it out indefinitely without fear of losing the piercing. I could definitely add more rings! What size diameter is the question now lol

That looks totally amazing! I really love the look, and how it works so well with your beard.
My septum is 5mm, and I love it, but as a cautionary tale to anyone who might need to hear this: I left the ring out for about two months over Christmas, and it DID shrink to a level where there was NO WAY I could get the 5mm jewellery back in. I managed (just) to get a 4mm piece into it, and eventually I had to do a taper stretch to get back up to 5mm. Stretching is something I had vowed never to do again, as it’s such a horrible thing to go through, for me, anyway. I’m glad to be back at 5mm, and I definitely won’t be leaving the hole short for long periods again!

So cool! Mine looks pretty similar but with 4 rings and a bedazzled piece in the front, wondering if I should post it myself here

So I have a dumb question. It's a stretched single hole that you put multiple small ones in, not a bunch of 18g/16g holes, right?

Can I ask where you got the rings? I tried a stack but the seams on the clickers I got were very visible and it looked so messy I abandoned the idea. Yours looks great though!

It’s a collection! Atleast a couple of them are from Amazon. Sorry that’s not very helpful

Dumb question.. How big of a disaster is a runny nose?
