You should eat at least a hour before getting any piercing, this keeps your blood sugar in check and will prevent fainting. Fainting will occur when your blood sugar goes low (this doesn't mean you cram sugar into you before the piercing).

Due to nerves and stress related to the whole concept of getting a piercing, this can naturally burn sugar from the system at a very high rate in a short period of time. Known as the fight or flight response, the body generates two chemicals adrenaline and endorphins, the formation of these two chemicals will throw the naturally balanced blood sugar out of whack for a short period of time.

This is what causes the head zooms, the flushed feeling and in extreme cases the tunnel vision, fuzzy hearing and eventually the fainting. Fainting is a biological "reset" where the body sort of shuts down and restarts ( techies refer to this as a warm reboot...lol). Nothing to be worried about if you have eaten a balanced meal about a hour before the piercing and you relax and breath. Listen to your piercer and all should be fine.
