helix piercing experiences

3 weeks ago I got a helix piercing. Thought it was gonna hurt & bleed like a bitch. When I got it, didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would and it barely bled. It was a good experience.

Today I was like “hey, I should get another one.” So I went to the same place and was expecting it to be painless and easy like the first one. oh was I wrong. It hurt like frick. Then it bled.. A lot.

How odd that I can have 2 completely different experiences. Has this happened to anyone else?
