: I've wanted my ears pierced for a while, but I am the biggest wimp! I am afraid of shots...VERY AFRAID! My friend is a big wimp just like me, and she just got her ears pierced. She said it doesnt hurt that much, that it just feels like a pinch for a second. Is that really what it feels like or is she just saying that so she doesn't sound like a wimp? HELP ME!!!
Sarah,
Some people, who haven't had their ears pierced yet, will wear magnetic studs. For some people this is a sort of 'solution'; however, magnetic studs, if worn in the same position for a few hours can start to hurt, every time you wear them for a few hours.
So: think about it: visiting the mall and going through with the straightforward procedure of getting each earlobe marked up with a dot and then quickly shot through could actually SAVE some pain in the long run, if you would be likely to wear magnetic studs with any regularity.
(Having had the confidence to have it done once, you may not be satisfied with just one in each ear.)
