The pain was honestly very manageable for me—i’d rate it about a 5/10, but i do have a pretty high pain tolerance. it was more of a quick, sharp pinch than anything, and it was over before i even had time to really react. my eyes watered a little, but it wasn’t unbearable or something that would scare me away from doing it again. after the initial piercing, the soreness was mild and faded pretty quickly. overall, it was way less painful than i expected and definitely worth it for the result.
