tattyatty | 08-11-2009 06:34 AM | hey I have my medusa, It hurt like for two seconds..but the pain is worth it, it does make your eyes get a little watery..as if your squezing a pimple on your lip (my mate told me that and before I went to have it done i kept pinching the area to make me use to the pain..i think that made it hurt less). A trick of my mates when they get pierced is buying freeze spray for your throat with has local anasthetic, with all of their lip piercings they have sprayed it on the inside of their lip to stop the pain.
The only problem with the medusa is that it can swell up massivly on the second and third day but I never had that happen, mine has in all been really painless and really worth it :)
hope it helped. You wont regret having it pierced :)
Another alternative is do it yourself, as the piercer did mine the first time a bit out of place (im a perfectionist with my piercings) I got a self piercing kit all sterile online, marked it up perfectly myself so it was bang in the middle, clamped it and let my boyfriend pierce it, it looks so cute and the pain either time was just like someone pinching my lip..it does make your eyes water but it doesnt hurt as much as the septum..and I would say it hurts less that a side piercing and even a navel piercing |
