My boyfriend at the time had his left nipple pierced, so he was all into it. He came with me when i had them done. Good thing too! I felt like crap after i passed out, so he drove back.

I think he liked them. since my nips are small, i think that it made them easier to find in the dark! (LOL)

I think that the clamp that they used works both in grabbing the skin and deadening the pain when the push the needle thru. So that wasn't too painful, i just shouldn't have watched.

when i had my eyebrow done, i closed my eyes so i couldn't even see the needle coming close, and focused on breathing. I new that i could go thru child birth i could go thru anything. It was quick and easy and i didn't feel the tiniest bit yucky.

Also, with the pain that you experienced with the chomp from your little one ~~~that was an ouchie that you were not expecting, this one you have time to prepare. And besides, what may have been a little painful to me, might not be at all painful to you. That was the case of another friend of mine. She had her's done and then smacked me in the arm, saying that i had her all worried about the pain, when it wasn't so bad. She was fine, and she drove us back home.
