I just got mine done a couple of hours ago, ha ha.
It hurts, but it's over in a second. I don't have any other piercings besides just my earlobes, and I got those 16 years ago. It was a kind of intense pain but it was really quick.
I think being nervous about it was worse than the piercing itself. If you want it, just do it. The nice thing about it is that you can hide it really easily with a retainer. And if it ends up looking dumb on you, you can take it out, and even if it DOES scar nobody will be able to see it.
All you have to lose is a second or two of pain and some spare cash.

Well, a septum piercing goes through the cartalidge of your nose and can be no smaller than a 14 gauge. If I were you I wouldn't go any BIGGER than a 14 gauge either because the more they stretch it out, the worse the deformity if you ever decide to take it out. Depending on the person who pierces it, a scapel could be used. The lower ear piercing has no cartalidge so it didn't hurt that much, the upper ear hurt more because the needle was going through the cartlidge, my naval piercing didn't hurt because it was through skin, and so was my eye brow. Since the needle has to be forced through harder cartlidge...it's gonna hurt way bad.

im not sure how much the septum would hurt, im thinking its pretty sensative there though, ive had my actual nose peirced, and though it didnt hurt too bad it was still sensative and made my eyes water, but good luck with it...i say just go for it, any peircing is going to be a bit of a discomfort at first!

It hurt more than my ears, nipple and belly button. I was surprised how painful it was for me. BUT, like other piercings, it only lasts a second or two and then it's over. It's probably different for everyone but for half a second it was regular pain, then blinding pain (like a flash, my eyes teared up) for a split second, then dull pain (and my nose felt like it was starting to run). It was all so fast. If I remember correctly, I had 10 gauge piercing.
( I would recommend a smaller size if they'll do it. Might hurt less. I had wanted 12 gauge but they had been out of that size retainer that day and I didn't want to wait)

go for it, it will hurt but not as much becuase its not going through a lot of cartilage just a little i have my lip pierced like on the side it hurt, and my lips are huge like angelina jolie but natural so it hurt more cuz it went through a lot of cartilage. While I was getting my nose piercing you kow a little diamond on the side of your nose the guy told me it hurts muchhhhhhhh more than a septum piercing because the side of your nose is all cartilage so septum will not hurt as bad at all and i told my self this while he was piercing it: its just a one time thing, you jsut go through the pain one time for this in your life and than its over. those words helped me a lot knowing i never have to get my nose pierced again since it already is! *good luck* :) hope i helped XpunksnotdeadX

It actually doesn't hurt too much because it's pierced through the relatively thin bit of skin just between the cartilage and thicker skin at the bottom. It does tend to make your eyes water though.
Any piercer who pierces through the cartilage is doing it wrong. Everyone has what is known as a "sweet spot" where the skin is thinner and just above is the cartilage.

I think it is a great idea. It couldnt hurt much because we do it to cattle all the time and that would just be inhumane if it hurt a lot. Besides your BF could just put a leash on you nose ring and lead you around. Sexy.
