@Buster Huh, that makes it sound bearable.
I used to be scared of getting my ear pierced untill someone told me it's the same feeling as having a blood test.
@bootblackcub @Buster Mine's tiny (our wedding band) but despite having inherited the ginger low pain tolerance, it was no big deal, less painful than an IV got the same duration, didn't even dread going back to have it re-inked darker to match hers better (parlour owner did hers, quelle surprise, while some kid, by which I mean probably bootblackcub's age, did mine). Most of it just sort of... itched. No doubt if I ever want more elaborate ink, I'd be doing short sessions and lido.
