I finally got off my ass and made the appointment yesterday to size up my septum piercing from 14 gauge to 12 gauge. I was concerned about the pain involved, but it didn't hurt at all. The piercing is only mildly sore today as it adjusts. In 6 months I'm going to move up from a 12 gauge to a 10 gauge. I don't know why I waited so long to do this. Now, what do I do with the 14 gauge jewelry I can't wear anymore?

@Richboy50@woof.group My piercer told me the septum fully heals within 3 months... meaning the initial piercing. Gauging up will heal faster than that, but it meant I set a calendar reminder for every 3 months and gauged up each time until I reached my goal. If 6 months is more comfy for you, stick with that, but you can definitely be more aggressive if you want to be.

@Richboy50@woof.group what’s all your 14 stuff? Bars etc? Clickers?
