Does it hurt?
-A piercing can hurt if it is not done properly. A piercing performed by a professional piercer will on the other hand take only 1-2 seconds, which means minimal pain.
It is quite similar to a prick of a needle in a blood test.
We do not use anesthesia, as this process would be as painful, if not more so, than the actual piercing. Keep in mind that anesthesia is administered via a hypodermic needle.
In the time that it takes to administer the anesthesia, a
Professionally trained piercer will have completed both the piercing and the jewelry placement.
-Anesthesia is both unnecessary and harmful, as it can prolong the healing time, can cause excessive and unnecessary bleeding and can cause after pain.
When a piercing is performed, the body will respond normally by releasing endorphins, a naturally produced peptide, which raises the individual's pain tolerance, using specific opiate receptors in the central nervous system. This reaction will reduce the feeling of pain.
-Note: Alcohol and the use of drugs in general should be avoided before and after a piercing for a 24-hour period. Alcohol will cause unnecessary and excessive bleeding, while other drugs (narcotics, pain killers etc.) will only intensify any sensation of pain.
We pierce only sober customers.
