Q: I was wondering if an endorphin rush or the rush that one gets when pierced could be lessened? When I got my vertical labret done, I gained a high that lasted for more than [an hour] and I wasn’t quite “all there” through the whole piercing process. I had to have my sister and friend with me, and even once it was all done I was walking drunk and slurring my words. I’d like to feel less of it so I could stay semi-conscious because it feels too much like a nasty drug trip.

A:There are a few physiological reasons your body could have reacted in this way. One could have simply been that you were way too worked up to begin with. The let-down after realizing something isn’t nearly as bad as you thought it would be can be as powerful as the initial endorphin rush. It could also be that your blood sugar was low from not eating sufficiently before your piercing. Always make sure to eat at least a light meal about an hour before any tattoo or piercing procedure, and if you’re really nervous or anxious, try some calming breathing exercises.

If the above techniques don’t work, I would suggest seeing your doctor to make sure that your heart and blood pressure are okay. You simply may release too many hormones when under stress and your doctor may be able to recommend other methods of preventing this in the future.
