Not Be Scared when Getting Your Ears Pierced

Do you want to get your ears pierced but are too scared? Don't be! With these tips, you'll have your ears pierced in no time.

Steps

  1. Prepare yourself mentally, the day before doing it, try convince yourself that it will be painless and easy. Even though it may not be, try to set your mind so you'll think that way. Ease your mind. Think about what type of earrings you'll get instead of what comes after. Know that you'll have to take special care of your piecing after.
  2. Go right when the mall opens or closes. It's more likely that two people will be unoccupied to pierce your ears at the same time, so it'll be all over with at once.
  3. Take a stuffed animal or stress ball. Squeeze it hard!
  4. Bring a friend with you. For support, love, care, and compliments!
  5. Don't tense up when you know it's about to come. That only makes it hurt more. Think about something else other than the piercing.
  6. Don't look. If it helps, close your eyes. Mostly it's just a pinch with very little stinging afterwords.
  7. Let yourself shop afterwards, reward yourself with going through with it. Give yourself a gift card to your favorite store.
  8. Ask whoever is there with you, if you can get a special treat afterwords. Like some new earrings, but don't put them in until the 6 weeks are up because they will swell up otherwise, or close in. Or your favorite ice cream!
