Remember that it's okay to be a little scared and nervous. It's natural for somebody's first unusual piercing. You'll probably be a little shaky at first.
Practice deep breathing. Take deep breaths and close your eyes when the moment comes. Deep breathing reduces stress and helps calm your body down.
If you're the type of person who doesn't handle seeing blood, even if it's the tiniest bit, it's best advised if you not look while the piercer is performing the procedure. There is hardly any blood, if not any visually, but seeing the needle go through can rattle a person's nerves.
Keep a positive attitude. Going into the shop while angry, sad, upset or just depressed doesn't help the nerve-racking situation for you. Going in with a positive attitude actually makes the experience easier to do than a person who goes in cautiously.
Make a plan for afterward, like rewarding yourself with an ice cream or something of the sort. It keeps your mind off the piercing.
Bring a close friend or family member along with you to help you feel less scared. Having somebody go with you calms you down and makes it a little more 'fun'.
Eat something light and drink some water before you go to ease your stomach and to prevent cramps caused by nervousness.
