How bad does it hurt? I'm supposed to go with a friend and we're getting identical piercings, I think I might chicken out... I really want one, but every time I go in for new piercings I'm afraid of the pain (I have 4) ...

I got my eyebrow pierced a little over a month ago. I was in the same situation as you because I hate pain, too (I once threw up after getting a flu shot). It happens really fast, and its over before you really can comprehend what happened. It might be a bit sore 10-15 minutes after, but its nothing unbearable. The clamp didn't hurt for me and the needle slid in quickly, and I got a 14 gauge.
So if its only the pain you're worried about, don't be. It's quick and really not that bad. My eyebrow piercing is doing great and I'm glad I didn't chicken out.

Everyone is different so no one can tell you how bad it will hurt you to get the piercing.
Expect to feel at least a little something since it is a piercing after all, but I don't think you'll die from pain. I've done a lot of eyebrow piercings and all in all no one has screamed or cried about it.

I have my done at the moment and it's still in the healing process. I was terrified to get it done, also. When I went to get it done the man was very gentle so it made me a little more comfortable. Pain really varies with people but from what I've heard from others and what I know from experience, it hurt but it wasn't horrible. It felt like someone pinching your skin or maybe a bug sting. The pain was over in about a minute and it will bleed and the worst part I think of it all was the way it sounded when it went through, it popped really loud.
Also, alot of piercers will tell you to use soap and water but really sea salt and dilluted water is best. Also, I wouldn't suggest getting it pierced with a barbell at first because during the healing process it will be hard to get the salt water in there, get it done with a ring.
Good luck and I'm sure you'll love it. :)

Not that much at all really.
The least painful piercing is the navel, there's next to no veins or sensitive arks on that part of your body.
As long as you have a fair amount of play in the eyebrow pain will be at a minimum, not even as much as biting your lip.
Make sure there is play though, the last thing you want is the piercing growing out, its not painfull if it does an repiercing scar tissue is stronger if you get it redone.

mine didn't hurt at all. well, obviously something getting poked through your skin is gonna cause some sort of pain...but it was just too fast to even notice. it hurt even less than my tongue piercing which was also no prob. i always feel like chickening out when i get a piercing even though i know i can handle it...it's just the thought of something piercing you is the worst part of it. once it's over you'll feel silly for worrying so much about it.

all piercings hurt the amount of pain however is up to you.(man, i wonder how many times a day i type that on here?)
you have gotten pierced before, so you should know your tolerance levels.
anyway, when i did my sister's, she didnt even flinch, but she also yanks out most of her eyebrows with tweezers. i have seen less painful expressions/noises when i do a bridge though.
edit after reading above answer: beware of using too much sea salt. buy a product like H2Ocean (premixed and in a can for you!)
also only use it about once a day, and clear anti-bacterial, non fragrant liquid soap to clean it.
just remember to breathe, man. youve done it before (but don't worry i sympathise i hate getting pierced too, and i freaking do it for a living)

I have had mine down for a year and to be honest it never really hurt that bad I think the top of my ear hurt like ten times more than the eyebrow did!

I've had mine done for 3 years and it really didn't hurt having it done. There is a little pain for a few days after but nothing to bad.

If you already have piercings you should definatley be fine. I have my eyebrow pierced and it was over so fast I barely felt it
