"i was extremely nervous going into this, so nervous my doctor prescribed me medication to calm down. i was afraid of the procedure hurting because i was told straight up it would hurt and read plenty of reviews. when i actually got it done, it was not painful at all, it was just slightly more intense than a pap smear, accompanied with period cramps. getting my tattoo hurt more. my nurse was worried i would faint or etc, so made me lay down for an extra minute but i was just fine! three days later, my period is gone, i was on my period for one day getting it in and after i had it for only two more days. normally my period is five days. i had slight cramps for a few days after but nothing advil couldn&#039;t take care of. i&#039;m glad i got it!"
