There is a detailed run about my needle flex wedge install here
Worth noting that was an assisted self install performed at home (courtesy of Lockdown).
I do have many years of experience as a piercer, though, hence why I was comfortable with guiding a complete freshman.
I did use a bit of lidocaine just to avoid having any involuntary movements while someone with no experience was poking a needle near my vases and nerves… but I was still feeling most of it.
Would not be a pleasurable experience to do with 0 numbing, but as I said, I would rather do that with no PM than not be able to do that.
Yeah, I still have some friends in the bodymod sector in Tokyo…
It is surprisingly prudish…
