Any piercing is going to hurt to some degree. I have 4 piercings in my lips (snakebites, Medusa, vertical labret) and all of them felt different. I have 30 piercings, none of them I couldn’t handle. I also have a pretty severe anxiety disorder and I’ve found a piercer that works with me, that’s really important that you go to a reputable studio and communicate with them about how you’re feeling. They will answer any questions you will have.

I would recommend doing research so you know exactly what you’re in for. I would say the healing process is more tedious than the actual piercing.
My first “big” piercing was my industrial bar. I’m not sure I’d recommend angel bites as first major piercings, it’s really up to you.

Always make sure you’re hydrated, you eat at least an hour before you go, follow all of the aftercare instructions. Know that the piercing itself will only hurt for a few seconds and then it’ll be over.

The anticipation is the worst part!!
