How do I bite the bullet and (finally) get my nipples done? [NSFW]

I (F, 27) have been wanting to get my nipples pierced for years, and every time I get close to doing it I end up chickening out. I’m in a really good place to get them done right now and am seriously thinking about going sometime this week, but I still can’t quite get myself to make an appointment.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance, tattoos, and other piercings (lobes and nostril), but I can’t really envision what nipples might feel like beyond just *pain* and I think that’s what’s holding me back at this point. I know it can vary a lot, but I’d love any input on what to expect in terms of pain, sensation (pressure, temperature, etc), mentality, etc. Any convincing or advice on getting myself to go for it for it would also be very much appreciated!

I already have a great APP shop and piercer figured out and know what to look for re: jewelry and placement—just need to commit to it. Hoping for Thursday 🤞🏻

ETA: The shop I’m wanting to go to is closed for the week so I’m going to have to wait a bit, but I’m feeling really confident and excited after reading your comments—like I would get up and go right now if I could. Thanks for all the input! I can’t wait!
