accidentally got two of the most painful piercings at the same time
(apologies for the clickbait ass title. idk if these are actually "the most" painful, but they ain't the least I can tell u that.)
was bored and gonna hang with old high school friend, ad just went through a breakup, so I was like ok time to get pierced. the night before, i book an appointment for two ear piercings I think look sick. i show up the next day ready, high as fuck with my friend and ex with me.
we go in. i sit on the table. i mull over the decision I'm making for the first time and start to freak a little. i pee. i come back a stronger man. the friend with me is a doula so when after i've been prepared and laid down by the piercing man, she is on my side, holding my hand, ready to go.
we decide to do the Daith first. if you dont know, this is a ring that goes through the very dense cartilage in your inner ear! and that shit is DENSE. and the piercer has to FORCE a needle through that shit as hard as they can!
it was a little different than getting my ears pierced when I was 10, I can tell you that.
The worst part is the noise, which I didn't even consider until people asked about it after. The crunch as it goes through... *shudders*
and my second piercing? a helix, on the same ear. which I barely even remember because I was so dissociated from the first piercing!
Was actually very grateful I did no research and no one warned me about the pain, because I would've chickened out and I wouldn't have gotten such dope piercings.
