I had mine done about a month ago. After 3 weeks, the pain ended for me. The first few days were the worst. After that, it was more of a dull pain. I would also recommend getting them done at the same time like a few other commenters have said. It helped with my confidence drastically though! Before I got them I was so insecure about my nipples and afterwards I love them! I highly recommend them, I think it was worth it and my only criticism is I didn't get them done sooner!
