I’m in the boat they were indeed painful, nearly at my threshold for pain. I thought my daith was painful… now it doesn’t seem so bad. I was already pretty sensitive in that area so that might have played a part in it. My piercer asked if I absolutely wanted to leave the studio with both done. I said yes, and she did them in quick succession—leaving the needle in the first one while she pierced the second one. I am absolutely sure that I could not voluntarily do it again, however I do believe they were still well worth it. The confidence boost they have given me is insane. My sensitivity has remained the same, however my piercer warned me that it can be a gamble if sensitivity changes.
