I just had my monroe piercing done a bout 10 days ago with my sis. It wasn't as bad as you might think. Whatever you do do not go on you tube & search video's online of people getting pierced. Everybody's pain level is different & more times than not....people really overdue the acting on camera. As for my experience...It only hurt a minute! It' similar to getting a purple nurple.lol When the piercing artist clamps your lip it helps numb it in a way. They do that so that they can keep the area to be pierced in place. Honestly, Go for it!!!!! It's worth the itty bit of pain.
Good Luck!
