I had mine done five weeks ago at a tattoo parlor. I was TERRIFIED but it wasn’t bad at all! I didn’t sleep on it for the first three weeks or so, and it’s still a little tender to sleep on, but overall not too bad. It only hurts if I bump it too hard.

Be CAREFUL combing your hair, lol! I lost the ball that holds the hoop together the second day when I caught my comb in it. I had to go back and have it replaced.

Overall, as long as you have it done with a needle, you shouldn’t have any problems. I won’t straight up say having it done with a gun is absolutely going to turn out badly, but…it kinda seems that doing it with a needle works a lot better. The pain was minimal and they also use stainless steel, which is excellent if you’re like me and allergic to EVERYTHING.
