Getting Piercings

I wouldn't recommend using a gun for piercings. Most professional piercers wouldn't use a gun either especially for cartilage. The process of using a needle to do a piercing in an area of the body other than the ear lobe is much safer and less painful than using a piercing gun. The needle is hollow and has a sharp point to create a clean hole. Sin......   reply

Really depends what part of your body you're piercing, and where you get it done. I pierced my ear myself, and it didn't really hurt, but it did sting for a bit afterwards. I got my lip pierced professionally & they used some kind of spray, it numbed my whole lip, so i didn't feel anything at all. But there was some discomfort for the next 2 or so ......   1 reply

I only have my ears pierced. I used to have three holes (one each on my earlobes and one on the flat of my upper ear). I let the hole on my upper ear close up, because I didn't want it anymore. All three were done with a gun. In my experience, once the piercing is shot into your ear, it doesn't hurt at first. The pain comes later in the form of a l......   reply

If you can get your ears pierced by a professional with a piercing needle. It’s more expensive but much less likely to have problems afterwards. A piercing gun is much more traumatizing for the war bc it’s smashing and brushing the ear. They put a piercing stud in the gun to do the piercing and even though it’s pointy it unlike a piercing nee......   reply

I’ve heard some rough stories about using a gun for most piercings. The gun hurts worse than a needle and there are a LOT of risks compared to paying a little extra to have a piercer do it for you with a needle. Just do your research and enjoy!   reply

i got my right nipple pierced, and two ear lobe piercings. the ear lobe was a quick sharp sting accompanied by heat. the right nipple on the other hand was different, tit didn't really hurt like it was so quick but all i felt was adrenaline, maybe its the fact im topless in front of a stranger and i can hear my own heart beat. it went swiftly and t......   2 reply

Depends on where you're getting piercing and your own personal pain tolerance. It would be best to figure out what piercing you would like first so that people can give you a more direct answer.   reply

i have my ears pierced (since i was like 5) snake bites, a septum ( i don't wear them all the time) and a navel piercing. im also getting my tongue pierced 2 weeks from now. the lip and nose to me were literally nothing. maybe a 3/10 on a pain scale for those. the navel was slightly more painful, but still was kinda "meh." its just annoying while i......   reply

Hell yes! Ugh, I'm 21 and graduate soon and I need to go to grad school/law school, but I just need a break T_T just being able to afford such a thing is kinda freakin me out. Unfortunately this break means taking a year or two to teach English, which is FINE. What is not fine is doing applications/ freaking out about time/visas, one of my biggest ......   reply
