For some it does hurt..it depends on your pain tolerance. Mine didn't hurt that much. But, keep in mind, the needle is a lot more safer than the gun. I don't recommend this piercing because it's the piercing that gets infected easily..but if you take care of it properly and go to a very good piercing place..I'm sure you'll be okay :). Just like any other piercing, it's going to be sore afterwards..make sure you use aftercare on your piercing daily. No one has ever complained of it getting caught in their hair or clothes. Unless your putting your clothes or hair on that piercing..nothing should happen. With my piercings however, I sometimes tend to get clothes stuck on it..it doesn't hurt though so don't worry. It doesn't neccesarily take a full year to heal..piercings take a few months to heal enough so that the hole wont close when you take the piercing out. I had my nose pierced last year (also done with a needle) and I was able to start changing nose rings in a matter of 3 months. But it does take a year to have the hole be perminent (if that's what you want). They'll tell you any info you want to know wherever you get it done. Just be careful and choose the right place!

Hope this helped :)!

I want to thank you for all the information, and repay you with a warning. I got the piercing done and I developed some of the ugliest keloids you've ever seen. No more piercings for me! So not worth it that I have to carry this around for the rest of my life. I took out all my other piercings and learned something very important: for many of them the scars never go away! My Monroe piercing makes this weird V-shaped when I smile where the piercing used to be.
