Does it hurt getting piercings??

Ahh, I have cartilage, industrial and a tongue piercing! The pain scale doesn't go higher than a four for them altogether. It's one quick click (I've used the gun) and you don't feel a lot of pain. the healing process is somewhat quick too although the tongue piercing healing point hurt really bad! (≧∀≦) but don't worry too much! I'll be here......   reply

I have both nostrils pierced and my septum! The longer I anticipated it, the more it hurt it seems. The first nostril and the septum piercings were probably around a 2/10 since I got them done without planning or thinking too much about it, but my other nostril was maybe a 4 since I was waiting to get it done.

When I was stressed out in middle school, I wanted to distract myself so I pierced my ears using a safety pin. It hurt like hell.

But I will highly recommend that you take an anti inflammatory like naproxen sodium (drug name not brand name) for a few days starting from right after you get the piercing. This will significantly lower the throbbing ......   reply

(Saving this because I want piercings and want to know what to expect ) I was 2 days old when I got my ears pierced so I have no idea what the pain was but from what I've heard soft bits of your body are easy, cartilage hurts like fuck... also your clit is supposedly the worst thing out there..."worse than child birth"   1 reply

I will never pierce my ears again. My septum piercing didn't hurt that much, just a shock of pain but it wasn't throbbing like the ears (the septum was a needle and the ears were with a gun, so that's why the ears hurt more probably. Never get pierced with a gun, always go to a tattoo shop thate pierces with needles). I think the worst part is th......   1 reply
