Does getting a cartilage piercing painful?

Answer 1

AnswerHonestly? I think that bumping your elbow or stubbing your toe, or even falling up the stairs hurts more then when you get your cartilage pierced. They only true discomfort is later on when it's healing. It'll be sore for sometime, and accidentally bumping it when fixing your hair makes you flinch a bit, but as for the actual piercing. The pain is actually very easy to ignore.

when i got mine done i was expecting it to be quite sore but i was 11 at the time so i anticipated really, But the guy done it and i said is that it and it was done. When you brush over it it really ,makes you flinch and sleeping on it is quite annoying if you have the starter earings in:S But its not even sore :D And i was 11 :/
It really depends on your pain tolerance. If you have a high pain tolerance you may not feel it that much. Your upper cartilage is harder than your lobes so expect some pain but it is really quick usually. I have one hoop on one cartilage and an industrial in the other. My only recommendation is not to pierce both sections of the upper cartilage on both ears, you will need to be able to sleep, and sleeping on a cartilage piercing will hurt and or cause complications with healing. Hope that helps.
it realy matters how wide yours comes out and how thick it is and also go to someone who you know freezes it if its not frozen it hurts like heck i got mine done and they didnt freeze it

Eh, depends on your pain tolerance. It wasn't bad for me, and I did it myself! But it ended up getting infected after a while, and I had to go on heavy antibiotics. Did it professionally, still got infected, so I decided screw it, and got rid of it. But most people would say the cartilege pierced hurts, but isn't excruciatingly painful. If you want it, go for it! Eh, depends on your pain tolerance. It wasn't bad for me, and I did it myself! But it ended up getting infected after a while, and I had to go on heavy antibiotics.

The cartilage piercing didn't hurt. It felt like a pinch. I got mine at Claire's, they use guns. They say its better to use needles because the gun shatters your cartilage. And needles are 2x the price of a gun and they hurt way worse. Just know that your ear will be sore for a while.

Answer 4

Not very, when it happens. I got it done a few years back, when I didn't know anything about piercings. Now I know better. Do not go to Claire's for piercings. Guns are unsterile and unsafe. Go to a professional studio somewhere near by.

Answer 5

It doesnt hurt too bad. I did mine myself with a sterilized safety pin. Many of my friends did it after I did, so its not just my high pain tolerance. I can imagine that if you get yours professionally done, it will hurt a great deal less, but its not too bad. Hurts more than getting your lobe pierced though.

Answer 6

Let's clear this up, all piercings hurt, the difference between one hurting really bad and one not hurting so badly comes down to three things. Piercer skill and experience and the aftercare you are doing to look after the piercing. If you want the piercing then that's half the battle the next is to find and experienced professional body piercer who knows how to do the piercing you want. Research research research, then settle on your piercer of choice.

Answer 7

Well i usually put pain of a piercing on a scale of 1-10. In my opinion the cartilage is about a .5-1. It's not a painful piercing and it heals quickly if taken care of properly.
