New septum piercing needs to be flipped up, but there's a problem Ok, so I got my septum pierced two days ago after wanting one for years. The plan was to get it pierced with a circular barbell then flip it up into my nose and leave it there to heal. Once it's healed the plan is to wear it down most of the time, but I can't have it showing for my job and I know moving it irritates it, so I just figured I'd just leave it up. The problem is, the gap in my circular barbell is too narrow and won't go around my septum so I can't flip it up. In retrospect, I should have had a retainer put in instead of a circular barbell, but it's a little late for that. What can I do to hide my piercing? I'm scared to take the screws off by myself, but maybe that would work? I'm at a loss.
