Does it really take that long to pierce a naval? I have my nose pierced and the whole thing took like five seconds.
SerialKitten666
Takes a bit longer for placement and it's much thicker skin to penetrate but this is mostly adjusting, Bout a minute or 2 overall.
freenna
Yeah, I have nostril, navel and tongue. The navel was the one that hurted the most, the needle is thicker and it takes two pushes!
FragileReality
My piercer wakes away from the clamp after he clamped my eyebrow. Never felt a thing by the time the needle went through.

Clamping skin, making sure it's symmetrical, needle, hoop, release clamp, clean any blood...
They take a lot of measures for the navel, while you're standing, sitting and laying. So it's a longer process
Though I doubt this was done properly in any way

I once did the mistake of watching a small operation on my foot, I din't think it was anything, but yet something made me woozy...

My chiropodist dug a massive ingrown toenail out of my big toe while I held the light for him. No anaesthetic as I hate needles, yet could
handle the pain/sight of watching him cut into the toe with massive clippers then digging around for the offending fragment. Weird.
VagisilToothpaste
I never got an injection for my igtn removal, just a numbing spray. Watching her slice in and dig around was fascinating!

Ingrown tonsils never seem too bad to remove, I've done it to myself before even, scalpel, tiny scissors, and tweezers and just cut it out

i almost fainted when i watched my friend get her tongue pierced. it didn't bother me but i got dizzy and my vision went white.

yes. and it's funny though cause i have piercings and a tattoo and i was just fine for all of it.

It's a bit silly to have a friend pass out when you're in pain. Friend: It looked so PAINFUL! | You: I know, I lived it. But, I persevered.

I've had plenty of piercings. The most painful part is the healing process. The initial piercing feels good to me. I'm odd..
PentagramDreams
I'm convinced it's the adrenaline rush.
aFuckinChair
Seconded.
peanutbuttermashedpotatoes
Agreed. All my upper earrings got majorly infected though. Not sure why. They healed fine after but had to go through that stage
Getting a piercing only hurts for a few seconds, sometimes only a pinch, but the HEALING PROCESS can be months to a year, it sucks :(
MargeauxPotter
I got my upper ears pierced seven months ago, they still hurt. And I was planning on 6 in each ear... Not sure about that now.
Expecially for the ears, in my opinion. The navel took me less than 6 months to heal

I can't have piercings, but I'm this way with tattoos. That warm, vibrating feeling, plus the adrenaline, even the pain, I love it. But 1/
when it's healing... Oh boy. That kills me.
I'm intrigued, why can't you have piercings?
You know, I'm actually not sure why. But the piercings will not heal. No matter what I do. I've tried literally everything. My earlobes 1/
I tried regular earrings and small gauges of all types of metals. I tried getting my cartilage pierced, it never healed. I tried doing 2/
my nose, ended up with a terrible blood blister around it after a few months that wouldn't heal. Tried my belly button, wouldn't stop 3/

Hey, if you're female, good enough for me
TheMiyoness
HA! My husband did this when I was in labour. Nurse shrugged, called him a baby, and continued what she was doing.
MacroManJr
Well, THAT makes a bit more sense than her faint. Your hubby's a bit of a pussy, but still, seeing offspring exiting a vagina is hardcore.
Zombraina
I've never actually seen birth up close, and I don't want to, but I get the general idea. I don't want my husband to watch the birth.
I refused to look at ANYTHING when I was giving birth. Hubby thought it was fascinating so I let him watch, but I was happier not seeing.
I plan to not see anything either, lol. I know they wheel out the mirror for anyone who wants to see but keep it the fuck awayyy
Oh my god they KEPT ASKING me about the dumb mirror. Bitch if I wanted it, I'd have asked for it, now pass me the damn ice chips already.
We-ell, I wasn't giving birth, I was just getting an epidural. Still, I can't imagine I'd have done better watching a needle in a spine.
Aw, that's even worse! I hope you never let him live it down. lol
He's a good sport about it, and brings it up on his own so we can laugh about it again. :) It will never be forgotten.
Aldevier27
Sounds like the correct response
SergeantSalsa
Shaming someone over something they can't just change sounds very professional
I mean, he had the option to sit down, and comparatively it was kind of babyish. *shrug* Weird things happen during labour, you gotta laugh.
Yet still, that's something he doesn't have any control over
You're right, he doesn't. Still, we laughed (him included). It was such a silly thing during an otherwise stressful time.
52pickup
Hope he doesn't faint at the first poopy diaper!
Haha, he didn't! Kiddo is 10 years old now and Hubby hasn't fainted since. :)
Do you know any nurses? Their jobs are so exhausting they can barely maintain the professional facade even when they need to. Care > facade.
I do and as far as I know they stay professional while doing their job
She said it to make me laugh. I was in labour, it was a stressful time, even my husband laughed when he came to.

Buddy got a piercing. The worry of pain caused him to hold his breath. He held it over and over until he passed out.
randelung
Squeezed her hand too much, had redout.
CyranoDeBurlapSack
Looking at the small space and the fact that she was being super squeezed makes me wonder if she had her legs locked too.
SaltyInternetPirate
The closest I've got to passing-out (aside from fear when getting blood drawn) was one winter day when I got really low blood pressure.
Copperbrat
I used to work with a guy who would go sheet white if you even talked about needles. We had a blood drive once and so I jokingly told him 1/
we signed him up. When I tore open an alcohol swab he started swaying and nearly passed out. I didn't tease him after that. 2/2

The day or two after I can FEEL the puncture in my vein still, and my body always goes nuts over less blood than anticipated in my arm
smokeandbone
I have this happen but I'm not squeamish or anything, like I don't CARE but my body just goes.
GabZonY
it's an involuntary evolutionary response. happens to the most hardened military veterans. once your body sees blood it will interpret 1/2
it as being your blood, and "shut you down" to keep you from panicking and increasing the potential harm and loss of blood.
Dieminion3
Empathy, watching my husband get an ingrown nail removed they stuck a needle deep into his toe to numb it. I had to put my head in my legs.
May I put my head in your legs too?
Sure, we can not vomit or pass out together!
Deal!
Imadudefromokc
She had her knees locked and holding her breath which causes low blood flow to the brain.
As a marching band nerd, I understand this.

I've had 13 major operations and have seen some gross wounds on my body. Never an issue. Then I had a mole removed on my shoulder & when 1/
2/I removed the bandage and saw the wound in the mirror, I fainted. Just happens sometimes!
foolhollow
I have 6 piercings all above my neck and I still get lightheaded when the needle goes through. I think it's just nerves.
It's called psychogenic shock. An intense thought or scare dilates the vessels until there isn't enough blood to perfuse the brain. Goodnite
ILoveWings
I was a phlebotomist and 98% of people were fine. One day, a man ripped his IV out and bled a lot. I put pressure on his arm buy by then 1/
I'm really afraid to get surgery because I KNOW when I wake up I'll lose my shit and pull out my iv
some of his blood had already dripped down his arm all over my hands on to my shoe. All that blood almost made ME pass out lol
akki14
I wonder if it's something to do with the base instincts we have and smell. My cat scratched her injured ear and the smell of the blood 1/2

I'm not even scared of needles or blood. Once cut open my entire leg and was completely fine, even though there was blood everywhere. 2/2
Skittleballs
Neurons in our brains mirror directly the emotions and feelings of others. If you are very scared of needles and you see someone else...
...getting pierced, your brain mirrors how it would expect to experience the same thing. Stress levels teach a critical point -> pass out.

Isn't that just a theory tho? The same point was argued by psychoanalysts (bar the neurons that is) and I do find it sort of works
PresidentBolbi

Because objects aren't supposed to pierce your skin like that, so some people have a very strong sickened response to seeing it happen.

You don't faint immediately upon locking your knees ffs. That's only an issue if you're there for hours.

I never had a problem with that and then one day I got a blood test and felt really faint and now I can't handle needles. Weird.

You could be developing blood sugar issues.

ashmenon
My sister has the same reaction. Have you checked for anemia?
all blood tests fine every time,
natik001
I was fine with blood tests until one time a nurse couldn't find the vein and after that it causes anxiety attacks, sucks.
DrSparken
Almost exactly the same, fine for ages, one only-slightly-odd experience, suddenly can't stand it.
I'd had so many blood tests without problems, so it freaked me out when I felt faint I though I was having serious blood loss but only 10ml!
TheScarfyDoctor
I can handle on-screen blood, gore, etc. Seeing blood in person, especially when my own, can bother me. I pass out giving blood
BeanieBro
Yeah I was fine, until they stuck an iv in the nerve in my hand. Now I get super weak around needles
ValentinGenev
Same... I can handle alot but seeing some of my blood is a game over.
I used to be able to handle gore, would 4chan for it all the time, now it makes me wanna puke, cant even watch zit popping
DirzBiopsist
Same, needles and dentists are my greatest fears. I don't know which terrifies me more.

I can watch movies where zombies tear people apart in gory detail. But a shot of a needle entering skin? I'm flopping in my seat like a fish
ZarcharyTaylor
Needles for me. I avoid them at all cost, haven't had one for like 7 years. Probably have cancer or something
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
It was fine until it wasn't?
Well at one point in my childhood I had to take something like 40 shots, 3 per day. Soo yeah, it was fine up until that moment.
Still ok with dentists and I have had drilling with no anaesthetic, like a vibrating needle of fiery pain!
Equinox13
Oddly enough, it's the anesthetic that freaks me out. If I'm numb, I can't feel what they're doing. They could be doing anything. Nnngh.
qindje
Dentists don't scare me... The needles don't scare me... The needles hurt. But they do good so no scare.. just pain :'(
I definitely don't enjoy either of those things, but going to the dentist used to have me trembling. Having a very nice dental hygienist 1/
and dentist changed that though, so I'm more at ease. Maybe find a new dentist!
Eluria
Since I tried to understand why people are afraid of needles...I am afraid too... ._.
Etidiotforyou
I just had 3 blood tests done last week & watched her put in the needle, didnt take my eyes off until it came out. It actually kept me calm.
LokiShade
I pierced for about 2 years, out of about 1200 piercings only one passed out and one threw up. Most find out it's not that bad.
Skeetskeetnojustkiddingthatsgross
Someone threw up from being pierced?? Dafuck
ThePerks2010
Yep puked after my Albert got done, was so worked up about it hurting, it was numbed to fuck, didn't hurt, puked everywhere anyway
They were nervous. It happens.
I read further in the thread it was tongue and it made more sense
I also put a 12 gauge needle followed by a 1 1/2 inch long barbell through the head of a penis and the guy didn't bat an eye.
They aren't that bad. Have 13 myself. Tried changing my tongue ring the night I got it to hide from my mom. Didn't work haha
Quick pinch and it's done though
Funny bit, both were after tongue piercings.
I was fine after mine. My friend almost passed put when she walked in on me trying to change it though
Man out of all my piercings (I haven't actually had that many, like 7, just in different parts of the body) the tongue was the worst for (1)
me. It hurt, but more than that it was the fact that the piercing was happening basically inside my head. Felt disturbing. (2)
PennyJaye
I almost passed out after my naval piercing, I was so scared that I wasn't breathing properly and then jumped up right away! Not good.
pookieeatworld
Had my eyebrow done once, the puncture of it surprised me and I turned white as a ghost and had to lay down, but I didn't throw up...
Question, how do most guys react to getting/seeing dick piercings (if you did them)?
Most severe reaction was my best friend, actually, and it was really just an abrupt grunt followed by a long exhale, lol. During any (1)
piercing I would encourage the customer to breathe normal because holding you're breathe or getting worked up and breathing too fast (2)
might cause an undesirable effect and make the event a (more) uncomfortable experience. As to guys seeing a male genital piercing, they (3)
Pierced for a few years too, only had two pass out one was the last person I expected it to happen to(covered in tats) yet kept on 1/2
hippocampus
and the only one who passed out was a grown firefighter.
I had to take blood samples from loads of people in my short life. Bitchiest about it was a 40y-o manager (1/2)
Coming back for more and passing out each time! Tried piercing him lying down, he'd just get up and pass out after insisting he was fine 2/2
I am basically that person. 100kg barrel chested guy, and not afraid of needles at all. I had to inject myself several times a day after...
...surgery for a month, no problem. But blood being sucked out?? Instant blackout. My doc says it's the lizard brain panicking because of...
Buttercupthecat1
Is piercing hard to get into? I'd love to do it but never see any opportunity to where I live
It wasn't for me, but I had several friends that work in/own tattoo shops. That helps, a lot.
Epleskrott
Depends really. To become (in my opinion) a piercing artist, you should at least know basic about nerves, muscle and tissue (1/2)
As you can (a very small chance) damage nerves that can cause permanent damage. I think the bar is a bit low to pierce these days.
Wow. I have that and it didn't seem that bad. It's interesting reading all these stories and how we're all different.
Yeah, those can be tough because there is so little tissue. And a piercing will close immediately if you don't get the jewelry in quick.
Oh the piercer I had, after she had finished getting mine through and done said "geeze I hate doing those ear ones, they gross me out." lol
TheGate
Well, that was an unexpected twist.

I have several piercings & tattoos, never passed out but the moment I saw my dogs nails clipped too short & bleed at the vet...lights out.

Thats actually hilarious. We are weird beings

yeah me too. i have piercings tattoo i was fine. i watched my friend get her tongue pierced and I almost passed out
T1Diabeeta
I've had plenty of piercings. The most painful part is the healing process. The initial piercing feels good to me. I'm odd..
PentagramDreams
I'm convinced it's the adrenaline rush.
aFuckinChair
Seconded.
peanutbuttermashedpotatoes
Agreed. All my upper earrings got majorly infected though. Not sure why. They healed fine after but had to go through that stage
SerialKitten666
Getting a piercing only hurts for a few seconds, sometimes only a pinch, but the HEALING PROCESS can be months to a year, it sucks :(
MargeauxPotter
I got my upper ears pierced seven months ago, they still hurt. And I was planning on 6 in each ear... Not sure about that now.

Expecially for the ears, in my opinion. The navel took me less than 6 months to heal

Hey, if you're female, good enough for me
TheMiyoness
HA! My husband did this when I was in labour. Nurse shrugged, called him a baby, and continued what she was doing.
MacroManJr
Well, THAT makes a bit more sense than her faint. Your hubby's a bit of a pussy, but still, seeing offspring exiting a vagina is hardcore.
Zombraina
I've never actually seen birth up close, and I don't want to, but I get the general idea. I don't want my husband to watch the birth.
TheMiyoness
I refused to look at ANYTHING when I was giving birth. Hubby thought it was fascinating so I let him watch, but I was happier not seeing.
Zombraina
I plan to not see anything either, lol. I know they wheel out the mirror for anyone who wants to see but keep it the fuck awayyy
TheMiyoness
Oh my god they KEPT ASKING me about the dumb mirror. Bitch if I wanted it, I'd have asked for it, now pass me the damn ice chips already.
TheMiyoness
We-ell, I wasn't giving birth, I was just getting an epidural. Still, I can't imagine I'd have done better watching a needle in a spine.
MacroManJr
Aw, that's even worse! I hope you never let him live it down. lol
TheMiyoness
He's a good sport about it, and brings it up on his own so we can laugh about it again. :) It will never be forgotten.
Aldevier27
Sounds like the correct response
SergeantSalsa
Shaming someone over something they can't just change sounds very professional
TheMiyoness
I mean, he had the option to sit down, and comparatively it was kind of babyish. *shrug* Weird things happen during labour, you gotta laugh.
SergeantSalsa
Yet still, that's something he doesn't have any control over
TheMiyoness
You're right, he doesn't. Still, we laughed (him included). It was such a silly thing during an otherwise stressful time.
52pickup
Hope he doesn't faint at the first poopy diaper!
TheMiyoness
Haha, he didn't! Kiddo is 10 years old now and Hubby hasn't fainted since. :)
Zombraina
Do you know any nurses? Their jobs are so exhausting they can barely maintain the professional facade even when they need to. Care > facade.
SergeantSalsa
I do and as far as I know they stay professional while doing their job
TheMiyoness
She said it to make me laugh. I was in labour, it was a stressful time, even my husband laughed when he came to.

Buddy got a piercing. The worry of pain caused him to hold his breath. He held it over and over until he passed out.
randelung
Squeezed her hand too much, had redout.
CyranoDeBurlapSack
Looking at the small space and the fact that she was being super squeezed makes me wonder if she had her legs locked too.

The closest I've got to passing-out (aside from fear when getting blood drawn) was one winter day when I got really low blood pressure.

Vasovagal reaction. It happens alot when i draw some peoples blood. They just cant handle the sight of blood or bodily truama

The day or two after I can FEEL the puncture in my vein still, and my body always goes nuts over less blood than anticipated in my arm
smokeandbone
I have this happen but I'm not squeamish or anything, like I don't CARE but my body just goes.
GabZonY
it's an involuntary evolutionary response. happens to the most hardened military veterans. once your body sees blood it will interpret 1/2
GabZonY
it as being your blood, and "shut you down" to keep you from panicking and increasing the potential harm and loss of blood.
Dieminion3
Empathy, watching my husband get an ingrown nail removed they stuck a needle deep into his toe to numb it. I had to put my head in my legs.

May I put my head in your legs too?
Dieminion3
Sure, we can not vomit or pass out together!

Deal!
Imadudefromokc
She had her knees locked and holding her breath which causes low blood flow to the brain.

It's called psychogenic shock. An intense thought or scare dilates the vessels until there isn't enough blood to perfuse the brain. Goodnite

Skittleballs
Neurons in our brains mirror directly the emotions and feelings of others. If you are very scared of needles and you see someone else...
Skittleballs
...getting pierced, your brain mirrors how it would expect to experience the same thing. Stress levels teach a critical point -> pass out.

Isn't that just a theory tho? The same point was argued by psychoanalysts (bar the neurons that is) and I do find it sort of works
PresidentBolbi

Because objects aren't supposed to pierce your skin like that, so some people have a very strong sickened response to seeing it happen.

I never had a problem with that and then one day I got a blood test and felt really faint and now I can't handle needles. Weird.

You could be developing blood sugar issues.

May have initially been a vasovagal response and now is conditioned behavior.
ashmenon
My sister has the same reaction. Have you checked for anemia?
RustyNeX
all blood tests fine every time,
natik001
I was fine with blood tests until one time a nurse couldn't find the vein and after that it causes anxiety attacks, sucks.
DrSparken
Almost exactly the same, fine for ages, one only-slightly-odd experience, suddenly can't stand it.
RustyNeX
I'd had so many blood tests without problems, so it freaked me out when I felt faint I though I was having serious blood loss but only 10ml!
TheScarfyDoctor
I can handle on-screen blood, gore, etc. Seeing blood in person, especially when my own, can bother me. I pass out giving blood
BeanieBro
Yeah I was fine, until they stuck an iv in the nerve in my hand. Now I get super weak around needles
ValentinGenev
Same... I can handle alot but seeing some of my blood is a game over.

Oddly enough, it's the anesthetic that freaks me out. If I'm numb, I can't feel what they're doing. They could be doing anything. Nnngh.

It wasn't for me, but I had several friends that work in/own tattoo shops. That helps, a lot.
Epleskrott
Depends really. To become (in my opinion) a piercing artist, you should at least know basic about nerves, muscle and tissue (1/2)
Epleskrott
As you can (a very small chance) damage nerves that can cause permanent damage. I think the bar is a bit low to pierce these days.
