When I first got my ears pierced a long time ago, in my early teens, I thought "D*mn, this is going to hurt". Then I got those with almost no pain at all. I got my eyebrow pierced for free by a good friend (professional piercer in a shop, not an at home job) and thought it would hurt at least a little, but really all I felt was the pressure from his fingers pinching my brow as he was piercing. I will always remember how cool of an experience it was.

More recently, I got my lip pierced, and again, expected at least a little pain, but felt almost nothing.

I always wanted my septum pierced and had experimented with piercing for short periods over the years, I never wanted anything typical. The idea was conceived somewhere in the early 1990's when African tribes were the only place I knew people had septum piercings.

I found a professional piercer that only did piercing, since I had no interest in tattoos at the time and didn't want anything to do with those places.

I had planned to visit Buffalo, New York for a conference so I found a piercing parlor (Cowpolk).

So I've been wanting these little things for months now! And I finally got the money for them (knowing a piercer/tattoo artist personally helped too) So I made an appointment for the next day and he came by.
I was really excited until I see the clamps, the needle doesn't bother me it's those stupid clamps! They're so..big lol. But anywho we spent like 20 minutes re-marking my face for these piercings until I was finally satisfied, surprised he didn't say it and leave lol.

I got my tongue pierced on April 10th 2K9. It did not hurt at all. I went to mytattooshop in florida and the piercer wuz the best. He prep me with a mouthwash of listerine for 30 seconds. I spit it out n he put the piercing tonggs on and aplly pressure w/ the tongs using rubber bands which numbed my tongue then......he pierced it. It felt like a 5 second pinch, like receiving a shot but a lil less pain. It was an aswum experience and I knt wait 2 gt my spiderbites done and possibly a VCH
