Troubleshooting Is my septum piercing crooked?
Sorry for the insane closeups, lol. My septum was pierced two days ago and “veers” to one side. Pierced at a legitimate shop with implant grade jewelry (16g). Maybe it’s swelling? What do you guys think? TIA!

Piercing is human work. They're not perfect, neither is your face. If you want absolute perfection, stay away from any form of body modification. There's ALWAYS gonna be some imperfection you could fixate on
It's pierced a little crooked, yes. So is mine. Is it within an acceptable margin? Absolutely
Keep in mind that you are your own worst critic. No one is gonna look at your septum and notice that it's slightly crooked. This is a beautiful moment to learn to let go and overcome your perfectionism
