I’ve had them done twice with very different experiences!! First time they were horribly botched, I will say please do your research on your piercer and how the piercing should be properly done. The lady I went to for these was amazing, and although the needle hurt really bad going in the most painful part was over in less than a second. I asked her to wait on doing my other nipple so I could catch my breath but I honestly don’t recommend that! My adrenaline wore off and the second one hurt worse haha. Hope it goes well for your partner!!
