I got my belly done today :D Irrelavent lol anyway. Before i had it done, loads of people said, oh its the clamp that hurts most, not the piercing! Argh, not for me. The clamp was a pinch and the piercing hurt i thought. Just wondering weather im being weird cuz all my mates who have it done said its the clamp that hurt more? What do you who have it done think? :confused:

    No clamp? How did they hold it in place? :eek2:

    The clamp was okay for me too, but the piercing hurt like hell. A really hot pain...

    Youre not being weird though, everyone feels pain in different ways and from different things :yes:

    The clamp didn't hurt me, it was just a bit uncomfortable - as was the freezing spray. I didn't feel a thing when the needle went in though.

    When the clamp went out, I got my hopes up thinking that was the piercing; Bit uncomfortable but not sore. Thought I got it easy, then I felt the piercing. Now that was sore.

    Why can't ya use the freezing spray anymore? Not that I remember I even got that when I had my piercing done 3 years ago.

    Yeah they didn't use a clamp on me either, although it was about 6 years ago. I can't remember it hurting much at all, it felt a bit funny, like i could feel the needle going through but nothing else. My nose piercing hurt a hell of a lot more though.

    Same here for all of the above.

    Freeze sprays and anaesthetics when used on a piercing (or an open wound which is exactly what a piercing is..) delays healing times and damages tissue around the piercing.

    Anaesthetics should be avoided...

    Ah well. Never had any probems. Mine have always healed quickly, and, at least I didn't feel anything. :D

    Not really. It stung a bit when the needle went through, but it wasn't like excruciating pain or anything. I just want this bloody big bar out of my mouth! I can't wait to get the smaller one in; this things huuuuge!

    Clamp wasn't painful, nor was the piercing. Just felt a little pin prick sensation.
    Everybody's different.

    when i first had mine done two years ago, it didn't hurt at all. but that one started migrating so i took it out and had it re-pierced a couple of days ago. was a lot more uncomfortable because of the scarred tissue from last time. no freezing spray either time.

    on a similar note the piercer was tellin me about a woman whose navel piercing keeps migrating and coming out and shes had it done SEVEN times in the same place now! :eek: He said he refuses to do it again because the last time he did she was screaming in pain and the needle bent! crazy woman

    When I got mine done he didn't use a clamp just a long needle thing.

    I actually found it hurt more than getting a tattoo. My tattoo didn't feel like anything really. The piercing hurt like a bitch and made me pull a stupid face, kinda like this :crazyeyes
