I am a lady from NC- I'm 19 & I got my septum done. I took my friend along (who has had about nine piercings) for moral support.
I wound up having to wait about two and a half hours at the parlour, but when my number was called, I was not nervous at all.
I climbed up in the chair.
The girl and the guy spun me around. She cleaned my nose with something smelly then started prodding around with the receiving tube and whatnot. No clamps at all. My friend was squeezing my hand I didn't even flinch while they were piercing me. Everyone says the septum is the most painful piercing, and even my friend, who had his done three years ago. He said he cried.
For me, it was like a zen experience. It was divinity.
I just relaxed and closed my eyes and they poked a piece of metal through my nose. I didn't curl my toes up or anything. It felt nothing but good. That must be the secret, you have to appreciate that you only have one nose and you can only experience this one time. So you have to savor it.
I found out I am a pain freak.
I went back a few hours and had four of my ear piercings stretched. it was divinity as well. I just wish she had gone more slowly. I hate the quick pricks. They are no fun!
I reccommend a properly done septum piercing quite highly.

good luck with your future piercings and don't neglect your aftercare!!!
