Nipple piercings!!

Pebbles • FTM // Married // 💕Girl 💕
For everyone who had/ has their nipples pierced how bad did it hurt? I had my navel done and I had a hard time not laughing (I'm a nervous laughter) the pain of my navel didn't hurt, it just felt like someone was sowing my navel (if that makes sense). So my question is, was it a big deal to you in pain wise or not? And any tips while getting it done would be great (I'm going in hopefully next week!)
