If you like to keep up with the latest trends and plan to follow suit, you may be wondering how long a septum piercing will hurt.

So even if your pain threshold is really low, and your septum The pain of your piercing makes you cry, and you can also blame it on the surgery - just tell anyone who asks about your watery eyes!
