Labret anxiety

OK, i've decided to get my labret pierced and oddly enough am having a
bity of anxiaty about it. This is strange since i didn't think my
nipple was that bad and ASSUME the labret wouldbe a bit less painfull.
I keep reading these comments about how horibly painfull labrets are
but have yet to read any relavent comparison between them and other
piercings). Can anyone put my mind at ease or am i really just screwed
since i'm doing it anyway even if it's the worst of'em all:)

We've heard rumors of several people dying from the pain. One person
posted they passed out and even one went into a coma that lasted for
six weeks.

I wouldn't do it.

Never fear. Allay your anxiety.

Anxiety is natural. Especially in relation to pain or the fear of
pain, right? Who looks forward to the dentist's drill?

Agreed.

> and ASSUME the labret wouldbe a bit less painfull.

I've had both and, ime, they're about the same. All my piercings have
been about the same, painwise, actually. A sharp pain that quickly
faded.

I suspect that individual pain tolerance varies a good bit. Perhaps
those comments you've been reading have been from people with a low
tolerance to pain.

I've had nipples, frenum, cartilage, conch, lobes, navel, septum, etc.
pierced. I've also had my lobes dermal punched. The labret I've had
pierced twice and it was about the same or even less painful than
those aforementioned piercings - from my perspective. Again,
individual pain tolerance, I'm guessing, would be a variable that may
change or differ from your perspective.

> Can anyone put my mind at ease

Maybe.

Did those words offer you any reassurance? The only thing that can
truly put your mind at ease would be your mind. :o) Or actually
getting the piercing and experiencing it yourself, of course.

> or am i really just screwed

Naaah. Not at all.

It's not the worst, imo. Quick and relatively pain-free. Enjoy.

Your piercer should not use forceps at all, the jewelry should be
properly sized and of an implant grade material. If your piercer
cannot do the piercing straight on (that is, entry and exit hole
should be on the same plane), go someplace else. If you cannot afford
to replace the bar in two or so weeks, do not get the piercing.

Remember, this is something you want to do. By calling it pain,
you've already set it in your mind. That's too bad.

But it's over in less than a second. Endure.

Be wary of taking advice from someone incapable of truly healing a
piercing. Part of the pain (and that really is not a good word to
use) is healing the piercing. Getting a hole put in you "for the
experience" is not the same as healing a piercing. And for some,
doing it for the experience is an excuse for the inability to follow
through with the process.
