I'm getting my tongue & nipples pierced later today. I'm so scared & nervous. I know it's gonna hurt, but what kind of pain should I expect??

Pain is subjective. That means, how it feels to you is going to depend a lot on your opinion and your individual experience with the situation. If you are tired, or if your blood sugar is low beforehand, it can hurt more. Also, the skill and speed with which your piercer does the actual piercing can greatly effect how it feels.

Piercing so many parts at once might give you an endorphin rush and make it seem like it doesn't hurt as much, or it might be exhausting to you which might make it harder to take the subsequent piercings.

You'll have to stop back and let us know how it was for you. Which are you getting pierced first? Any particular reason? What gauge are you getting everything pierced at?

I got my piercings today. I had my tongue done first. I got a 14 gauge gold barbell in my tongue, & then I got 10 gauge silver rings in my nipples. My nipples feel like they're on fire.

i got my nipples pierced on april 20. i was scared to death!it wasn't really that bad though and i've not had hardly any pain or soreness at all. i guess i'm one of the lucky ones.

Hmmm. I've been toying around with getting my belly button done. I'm 40 and a bit overweight (understatement of the year! LOL) and not sure if I should. I keep thinking I'd wait till I lose my weight, but that doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon. LOL. Then I think at MY AGE!!! hmmmm. Still thinking on it. What do you youngins think ?? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey, I do not have anything closely resembling a flat stomach and I'm nearly 40 myself and my pierced navel is just fine. Took a hell of a long time to heal, but that's the way navels go.
