cute or ew; FAUX SEPTUM PIERCINGS

I was never really much of a piercing girl myself. Reason being: 

1. Making that type of semi-permanent commitment, scared me. 

2. Needles are not the business. 

So, while everyone during middle school and high school were getting nose piercings, ear piercings, and belly button piercings I was sitting pretty with the two piercings in my ear that I've had since I was a baby. 

I've been content to say the least. 

As the new year goes by, I've been trying to be a bit more retrospective. I've been getting a little bored of my appearance. I feel like I've looked the same way all of my life, and I've been looking for a bit of change. Nothing too drastic though. Like I said, I'm not trying to send any type of needles through my skin. The thought just makes me shudder. Ew. 

I remember when I saw these pictures of Rihanna with a septum piercing at a basketball game earlier this year, and I thought that the piercing looked really cute on her. I mean, everything looks cute on Rihanna. She's Rihanna. She's worn every single hair color of the rainbow on her, and everything looks stellar. But, once I randomly researched into it the other day, I realized that the septum piercing wasn't real. 

Mind blown. 

I didn't even know that such a thing even existed. Fake piercings, really? I mean, I've heard of ear cuffs that resembled cartilage piercings but nothing that would go on the nose. I did what any child of the technological generation would go, I googled it. 

And, it's actually a thing. A really cute thing at that. 

I don't usually jump onto the trend bandwagon, which is what I think septum piercings have become as of late (because of people like Rihanna, FKA Twigs, & Lady Gaga) but the fake ones are just too cute & interesting. They are some adorable ornate designs on Amazon & Etsy that I might have to sink my teeth into. (The gold ones are GORGEOUS. I'ma get some asap.) 

If you're not thinking of dropping a possible ten piece on a fake septum piercing, there's a super creative tutorial on YouTube that I even tried myself. I had to see how I'd look with the piercing first :) 

So, have you tried out any fake piercings? Or, even cooler, do you have some lovely real ones? (Props to you, I don't think that I could ever do it xD) Be sure to lemme know in the comment section, I'd love to know man ! :)
