Septum stretching
So after discovering that the septum embellishment that I have been wanting for years, cannot be done with a 14 gauge tunnel - I'm going to be 100% real with you all, I was heated.
I tried various ways to thread that 14 g tunnel, and even used a sewing needle threader, to no avail.
Whatever! Ugh!
I thought maybe I should stretch it up to a 12 gauge instead. That's plenty of room for a string of thread to slide through; however, it's not advised to stretch up more than one side at a time. See, me knowing how that could end with Saturn retrograde in my chart. I know better than to test the fates on that. It's not worth it.
What I wound up doing, is instead of going to a piercer, I used a pincher that I have in 14 gauge after watching a few YouTube video's of people doing theirs at home. It stung for about 20 minutes, but wasn't that bad. Today, it doesn't feel like I did anything to it at all. I'm wriggling my nose and it's not sore or bothered or anything.
That excites me, so I plan to give it a 30 days resting period before doing that 12 gauge stretch, which I most likely will get done at the piercing studio.
