I got my snug pierced about 3 days ago, and it was the most painful experience I have ever had to endure. The main reason for that is becuse the person who pierced it for me screwed up. She used a clamp at first, and after the needle broke through the top hole, she moved to take it away, and it slipped, and made the needle slip out as well. It bled for 5-10 minutes. It was horrible! She then decided she'd try to do it over again, in the same holes, freehand. And when she couldn't she figured the ring might go through. It didn't. So, she re-pierced it, in another position and caused me more pain than I thought possible. I thought I was going to pass out. I cried like a baby, and I could barely breathe. But, now, I really like it. It still hurts a lot, and the ring is too big, but that's alright, because I can change that...eventually.
