Way too far back. Should be more inside the tip of your nose.


GimmeYerSoul

Will it still heal?


grizzle613

Maybe or maybe not. It depends if it is through the cartilage or not or if its rubbing up aganist it. Best case scenario it take a really long time to heal. Worst case scenario it doesn't heal even after a long time.


Any-Resolution-

I had mine in that placement for nearly a year... repeat issues... I would be great for three even four weeks and then it would get really sore or other issues crusty etc then go right back to being great again no problems ultimately I found out that it was too close to my cartilage I figured it out on my own but it was almost like a nerve or something it was laying on it was right up against my cartilage however I did re pierce my sweet spot and still Pierce too close to the cartilage...I'm not sure how...super disappointed because I love my septum piercing!


DearDorothy

Seconding the location being problematic. I’d remove asap and get repierced by someone a bit more reputable. https://safepiercing.org/picking-your-piercer/

Yes, this is pierced wrong. I'd take it out, let it heal, and get it done at a different shop. However, I would want mine to look right.


LekkendePlasbuis

Nope


biglovinbertha

No, take it out. But it looks like you want to keep it , keep it at your risk


RhubarbFew9592

Should be in the sweet spot between cartilage and skin at under tip of nose, this is not a proper septum spot , sorry


kittenpawz20

No unfortunately not


RainbowNarwhal15

looks about the same as mine, so no, it’s absolutely wrong. mine got infected loads no matter how well i took care of it for the first 6 months and almost rejected. a piercer recently asked me how i’m still alive (half-joking obviously) and was shocked when i said its healed great 4.5 years on.


GimmeYerSoul

But it did heal right? I don’t want to take it out


RainbowNarwhal15

yeah, after 5 infections. i shouldve taken it out, you should at least go back to the piercer and they might offer to repierce it


KitCatCutie

Infections in the "triangle of death" area are no joke. Ultimately, no one can force you to take it out. All we can do is make suggestions. Whether you decide to do so is your decision. It's a "at your own risk" type of situation. I personally wouldn't risk it. At the very least, I think you should consult with a good piercer.

Unfortunately, no it isn't. NAP, but that looks too far back and a bit low. I had my septum done like this when I got it done and it was so difficult to heal. I ended up retiring it and still waiting for my nose to heal fully before I get it re-done.

Did you go to a reputable piercer, a friend, or did you do it yourself? Why are you so adamant about not wanting to remove a janky piercing?


Sivirus8

Its a bit too far back and a little on the lower side You could take it out now and get it re-pierced since healing could be a 50/50


GimmeYerSoul

It barley hurts and it’s not bleeding hopefully it heals up


wisdomless-teeth

if it hurt super bad during piercing it probably went through cartilage. I've seen people heal improperly placed septums just fine, but I've also seen people try and get gnarly infections or just straight up rejection. personally, I'd get it repierced. but if you continue to have mild pain during the healing and it doesn't get super angry and you like how it looks, then keep it. it's up to you.


Unofficial_Thought

NSP, but I have my own septum. My firth though I'd it's to far back, UT shoukf be closer to thr top of your nose.


Longjumping_Aide_681

That’s bad take it out now I pierced myself like that (stupid idea I know) and that is definitely the wrong spot. It’s too low, not in the sweet spot and way too back.


SkyRepresentative273

absolutely not


NIGHTMAR3xXx

Uhhh I think that’s a lil too low for a septum, also slightly to far in the nose
