Do cartilage piercings hurt more than a tetanus shot or a finger prick?

Depends. I got my cartilage pierced with a gun and was like being stapled. The hole closed and I redid it myself with a piercing needle. The piercing needle was 20 guage and did not hurt as much. Hard to compare to finger pricks as the nerves feel differentally in both parts of the body. (When self piercing, one side bled a lot but did not hurt. The other side did not bleed but hurt a lot more. It wasnt so much the sticking the needle through the skin as it was pushing the needle through the cartilage, even using a foam backing to aid the procedure. Anyways, they both healed well.)

∙ 13y agoA tragus is cartilage so it won't be much different. It may hurt when they use clamps or pull on the tragus to pierce it. They'll be a little more pressure too.
