How do i stop being scared of a piercing

In fact, this phobia even has a medical name — kosmemophobia — and affects a small but vocal group of sufferers.

Use the power of your imagination! Close your eyes and imagine walking into the piercing studio, sitting down, and breathing to calm your nerves. Then, when you feel ready, imagine the piercer piercing you- just a pinch and you’re done!

Loud statement jewelry isn’t everyone’s thing, but an actual fear of necklaces, earrings, and the like? C’mon man—you’ve got to be kidding, right? Turns out the struggle is real, with a small group of people experiencing a true phobia known as kosmemophobia.

Dangling earrings are by nature more prone to pulling on your ear, that can be uncomfortable, especially if the earring is heavy. You actually do need to be careful, your earlobes can stretch and tear from the weight. They pinch the ears and they also pull the earlobes down. If pierced they stretch the holes out.

Oral Piercings – Especially the Tongue & Webbing!

The tongue takes from 3 to 4 weeks to heal, the lip 2 to 3 months and the tongue webbing 8-10 weeks. Oral piercings from the tongue, the webbing underneath the tongue and behind the lips, and even the lips themselves are some of the fastest healing parts of our bodies!

A daith piercing is located in the innermost fold of your ear. Some people believe that this piercing can help ease anxiety-related migraines and other symptoms.

A navel piercing has one of the longest healing times – as much as 12 months – because of its position on your body.

Of all the body sites commonly pierced, the navel is the most likely to become infected because of its shape. Infections can often be treated with good skin hygiene and antibiotic medications. With this type of infection, jewelry generally does not have to be taken out.

Safest Piercings

Along with the nostrils and belly button, the earlobes are the safest and most common body part to be pierced. The flesh of the earlobe heals well when the area is cleaned regularly and the piercing is done at the proper angle.

While traditional piercings like ear lobes are the least painful, the snug and tragus are considered to hurt the most.
