hey, i just got mine done like a couple weeks ago. i was so freakin' nervous, i was asking everyone i knew the same questions you are. it hurts for about two seconds when they put the needle in, but after that it's nothing. it's like a little pinch. for me, they didn't numb anything. the piercing itself only took a couple seconds, but the whole process (cleaning, marking the spot w/ a pen, putting the clamp on) took a couple minutes. the needle isn't really that big, but i didn't really pay attention. as far as bleeding goes, it may bleed a tiny bit. it really depends on you're skin type. but it's nothing where you have to like put a bandaid on it or anything. looking back i couldn't believe i was so nervous, after she did it i was like, "whoa you're done?" i was so happy i went through with it. so don't worry about it, it really isn't that bad at all. good luck! =)
