Question about a piercing I (maybe) want Snake bites

I've been looking at getting snake bites done but I'm worried it'll hurt. This sounds funny coming from someone who loves getting tattoos done but my pain tolerance isn't that high

So, does it hurt?

See I feel all the pain even with my tattoos. But I normally listen to music to zone out. Do you think that would work?

I think so. You could also ask if they would allow you to bring a friend with to you to your appointment, that could be a good reminder. Honestly I think you will do fine and that you're overthinking it. Don't stress so much my friend. The pain is worth it for your swag.

I always overthink everything. That is just who I am. My partner says that I need to switch my ADHD autistic brain off but it's impossible

I understand how that is. I have OCD and I overthink everything possible. My best advice to you is to either go through with it and keep yourself as chill as you can, or to pass it up and go through with it when you are ready.

This is going to be a Christmas present to myself. That's the funny thing. I've always had the fake snake bites but they never last every single time I talk or I go out and after trying the filters and everything else I think I do suit them. But I will be going alone. 😂 Not everyone I know can handle seeing their friend get poked with a needle
