Getting Piercings

I have a few piercings myself (snake bites, 3 cartilage[used to have 4 but it closed up], 3 lobe). In all honesty, like many have said, it depends where you get them and how high your pain tolerance is (and how many you get in a specific spot) I suggest going to a person that uses a needle to pierce you and not a piercing gun, since its safer that......   2 reply

Depends on where the piercing is. My nose didn't hurt and my belly button didn't really hurt either but my tongue piercing hurt and I'm guessing my next one will hurt too since it's the nape of my neck. I guess it mostly depends on what parts of your body are the most sensitive. But with that being said, it's more pleasurable to get those places pi......   reply

The other person before was correct about individual pain tolerance but regardless some hurt like all hell and some aren’t that bad. I didn’t get a ton of piercings l, nose, tongue l, eyebrow, lip, belly button and I pierced my labia myself. Didn’t keep that. I have a pretty good pain tolerance which I always felt was more of not fearing the ......   2 reply

It really depends on where and how much of a pain tolerance you have, I got my tongue pierced twice, the first time it hurt, they’ll all hurt and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, don’t go into a shop thinking it won’t. My tongue piercing hurt the worst the second time around, you can always take something for the pain as long as it’s ......   1 reply

Depends on the location and your own tolerance. I pierced my own ear lobes (3 and 4 on each ear) and didn't shed a tear, but couldn't pierce my cartilage because the needle just wouldn't pierce it (I, however, do NOT recommend you do this if you're not trained to pierce safely or a health professional - I'm a nurse). I got my cartilages pierced bef......   reply

It depends where. Some piercings don't hurt that bad apart from the initial prick of needle through skin. Also depends on the type, I have dermals so those were mid pain. Worse pain so far was my industrial. Apart from that nothing hurt that bad. I had my sternum pierced for awhile before taking it out (dermal) and my experience with them is that i......   reply

Maybe it stings a little just as the needle pierces. But it's very brief. It's much like getting a shot, but the results are prettier. I've gotten two piercings in one ear, three in the other (one is a helix), a tongue piercing and one in the navel. The least "painful" was the navel and helix. The one that took the most time to heal was the helix. ......   reply

A gun isn't safe to use because it is VERY hard to clean. I usually clean my piercings with sea salt and warm water or an antiseptic spray. I never touch them unless I've washed my hands thoroughly or spray with antiseptic. And I try to keep them dry until they have properly healed. Don't prod or move or touch the piercing or you will irritate and......   reply

My friend got those two places pierced with a needle. They'll give you instructions to clean your piercings and avoid infections. Her piercings healed just fine. Also, I'm pretty sure the guy making her piercings strongly recommended the needle as he had more control over it and less risks of infection. Guns are nice for earlobes, but I would cons......   1 reply

I actually got my ear lobes pierced with a gun and it healed perfectly! No infections or anything of that sort but you should probs get yours done with a needle. Just my two cents ╮(￣▽￣)╭   1 reply
