I’m getting a chest piece done in 2 days time.. =)

but, i have just started mensuration now. I heard that we girls will have lower pain treshold during this period. Is this true? If so, i will postpone the tattoo appointment~

It is indeed true. It is down to the presence of prostaglandins which play a part in the sloughing off of the womb lining. Unfortunately for us, prostaglandins make the nociceptors (pain receptors) in the brain more sensitive. As a point of interest, if you suffer from bad period pains you will be more sensitive to pain around this time in general, as the worse the cramps, the higher the level of prostaglandins.
