The pain in our ears due to elevation change is caused by unequal pressure inside our bodies and the air pressure outside. As you go higher in elevation air pressure drops, so the pressure inside our bodies is higher that the outside environment. This high pressure inside our bodies causes pain as our bodies seek to regain equal air pressure with that of the environment by releasing air out of our ears; that is also why many people experience popping ears as they undergo dramatic elevation changes.

Is there pain when you get your ears pierced?

Yes there is some pain in getting your ears pierced however it is momentary and minor considering what you are getting done. I would recommend getting you piercing done at a body piercing studio and not some piercing gun place in the mall. In the hands for a professional body piercer the whole experience is much easier to deal with and you are being handled by a professional who knows what they are doing.

Where is the least painful place to get pierced?

In my experience, there is no piercing without pain. However, from what I have talked to others about and experienced myself I would have to say that the bridge piercing or cheek piercing is the least painful. The most painful would be (in most people's minds) the septum. This question, like the countless others like it, is really hard to answer because of the personal factors involved with describing pain. For some, like myself, even painful piercings aren't all that painful, just kind of annoying and throbbing. Others, it seems that pain is not something the care to ever experience and even describe lip piercings as excruciating and can even pass out because of the pain (really lack of oxygen, increased heart rate, stress, and endorphins, but all of that is generally caused by pain).

Where should you get your first piercing?

Well the best place to get pierced first is the ears, preferably the earlobes. Its a simple place, MANY people already have it done (so it shouldn't effect your job, work, etc...) , and it may be able to tell you your pain tolerance. I've had my ears pierced 6 times already and in hoping to bring that number up to 8. I have a very low pain tolerance, but I barely felt them. I would definitely suggest getting your ears done first if you have never gotten a piercing before. hope this helps :)
