Ear piercing-How do I not chicken out?

[LadyPurpleheart]

I'm going to get my ears pierced tomorrow and I don't want to chicken out again. I haven't gotten them done since I play soccer and I really want them since I've stopped playing for winter. I might have a high pain tolerance? (shots don't hurt) Anyways do you have any tips for not to be scared? I'm getting it done a Piercing Pagoda (I know a needle is better but I have no choice). Thanks for your help :)

You know, I'm in the same boat as you girlfriend. You just can't over think it. You just have to realize that the pain barely lasts a few seconds, if that.

I've never heard of the piercing you are talking about though. Care to explain?

[LadyPurpleheart]

Thanks for helpful words!

So the piercing I'm talking about is with a piercing gun and I'm getting it done at a place called Piercing Pagoda which is a little jewelry/ear piercing place. Hope I explained it a little better :)

Ah! Okay, that's the way I'm familiar with. Just didn't know the name!
My step-sister got her ears pierced that way a few years back and my step-mom held her hand while it was done and she actually squeezed my step-sisters hand harder than my step-sister did! She said it really wasn't that bad. I wouldn't be too freaked out!

Thank you a ton for all of the useful insight! :D

No problem :-)

Go to a professional place, they do it with a gun and it's fast! super fast! Just close your eyes and sing something in your head your favorite song or recite something, while they do it, and it'll be done before you even know it!!

Thank you so much for your help! :)

They used a gun on me, and it was real quick!! Only takes like four seconds.
Just relax and think of something happy to distract yourself :)
