If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

*Make sure it's done with a needle - it's quicker, safer and heals faster, because a gun just rips through.

1. Focus on your breathing. If you breathe in as you get pierced, it's not half as bad! It doesn't hurt that much, just feels like a quick pinch. Then it will throb (no pain) for a while after.

2 Depends what you're pierced with. Just be wary when you pull things over your head and when you sleep. If you catch it, it'll hurt a little bit but it'll soon go off.

3. A year to be safe, but everyone is different! Listen to your piercer.

(Rating: 5) 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.
