Reduce pain for piercings

8 Comments

Okay I have a total of 5 piercings which I love so much and am so glad I got them. The only problem is my pain tolerance is horrible to the point where I will almost faint while I'm getting it done. Which absolutely sucks, and I know its different for everyone so if you don't have this problem consider yourself lucky and I envy you >:/
First of all does anyone know of anything that helps with pain ?
I've tried alcohol, breathing exercises and over the counter pain killers and that didn't work. (will Vicodin or hydrocodone work?)

And the other thing is are there piercing / tattoo shops that will give you like laughing gas or something for the pain? (like they do at the dentist) Or can they numb you?

Yes I'm a baby when it comes to this shit, I know. But if you have any helpful tips I would love you guys tons. thanks so much

    Yes, but you failed to answer the burning question within all our minds, where are your five piercings that they're so damn painful? I've got six holes in my ears and they were fine.

    I don't remember my first ear piercing too much, because I was only about five years old. I was at Foley's department store in Houston, Texas and there was this woman with a table in the jewelry department who was piercing teenage girls' ears with a real needle. I asked my dad if I could get mine pierced, and he let me! When we went met back up with my mom and little sister it was awesome, because I had little 14 carat gold earrings, and the blood made my baby sister cry. Hurray!

    Weed should do it but, only smoke weed if it's legal where you live.

    Hemp seed oil (or the just the regular seeds), which you can use as a dietary supplement and is usually found in health sections, does a pretty god job at providing pain relief. It doesn't completely numb you though.

    Valerian Root is used by some as a pain reliever but, it is also an extremely powerful sleep aid. It used to knock me out in a few minutes. It works very fast.

    White willow bark is very nice and gentle. It doesn't completely numb the body but, it makes the pain tolerable. I used it when I first developed TMJ. Before usage, the pain was horrible and very sharp. Afterwards, I could still feel but, it had greatly lessened and I had an easier time with eating.

      Isn't alcohol a blood thinner?
