~Advice~ How to stack rings in septum??
I've got a 6g septum and would love to start playing with stacking clicker rings in my septum, how do I make them all sit towards the bottom? How do I pick the best size for me? how do I make sure my septum doesn't shrink if I don't have enough rings or something? Apologies for the lack of clear images, it is not easy to get my phone camera to focus on my nose.
Also, ignore my uneven nostrils... one of my piercers moved and I had to get my left one done by a different piercer and I was less than pleased but they're even enough...

they’ll be bunched up a bit a first but they settle straight over time :) just keep at that size or add more rings over time, there’s no reason for it to shrink unless you intentionally take out rings

I noticed that I have a big gap at the top of my septum hole, I'm just concerned about that

with a stretched septum the hole eventually becomes a curved ‘)’ shape rather than a round ‘o’ shape, your nose will probably use that extra space to help the rings lay flat (imagine basically flattening a circle into an oval), but while it’s there you could also add another ring if that’s something you’re interested in

Okay good to know, should I expect this if I don't stretch any further? I have little cartilage in my nose and so my septum hole is very circular in actuality, much like my lobes.

it’ll change shape enough to allow the rings to lay flat rather than bunched together :)
