To anyone with a septum piercing, how uncomfortable are they when sick and in the cold weather? Im weighing pros and cons of getting one.

It can be a little difficult during healing because you shouldn’t move the ring much but it didn’t bother me I got mine during allergy season n I had bad allergies and it was just a little annoying blowing my nose

Very good question!! I dont really notice it too much. Usually if my nose gets dry while in the cold/ from being sick ill use some vicks and it helps alot. But sometimes the area gets irritated if my nose gets too itchy. And if you get that itch where you really gotta rub your nose, i personally find it awkward sometimes😂 And it can be slightly annoying with runny noses cause you have to move the tissue around the jewelry. But these could also just be me issues 😂

It isn’t bad! At the start either heal it up or down, i chose to flip mine pretty often for school and home (hiding from parents) and it didn’t hurt it but it was annoying. Being sick isn’t bad, i never notice it, but when by nose is runny or it’s hot the condensation SUCKS! It feels like your snot is all over you when it’s just on the ring.
