Here is a list of the top ten in order of pain:
1. A private area
2. Nipples
3. Tongue (not really painful but the swelling's a terrible nuisance)
4. Labia
5. Lips
6. Testicles
7. Skull
8. Nose
9. Eyebrow
10. Ears & navel
I should think that ear piercing is the least painful
In a professional body piercing studio and the piercing done by a professional body piercer.
yes it is the most painful piercing
I would recommend against body piercing at a young age. It is painful, and it can lead to infections. If you want to be noticed, wear some distinctive clothing. Get an interesting haircut. Piercing is going too far.
I don't have one but I have friends who do. They have other piercings as well and their helix piercings are the most painful for them. But some of them say that the actual piercing isn't as painful as the swelling afterwards. Any cartilage piercing just takes longer to heal and stays cranky for a while. I have my tragus pierced and it really wasnt that bad.
Most say that their navel and ear were the least painful but it differs from person to person and their level for pain tolerance.
No some one is trying to con you, piercing the testes is extremely painful and is not a practice in professional body piercing.
Belly rings are the most popular body piercing jewelry. It is one of the sexiest types of piercing a female can have.
In most malls the only body piercing they will do is your ears. You can go to Claire's for that.
Seriously and honestly avoid piercing guns at all costs, see a professional body piercer, the technique and method used for body piercing is meant to minimize the pain and discomfort involved in body piercing. Piercing guns are designed and intended for uses on the ear lobe only, check out the related link for a honest discussion about the methods for piercing.
Ultimately the most painful piercing is any piercing done by an amateur. In the hands of a professional body piercer, even piercings that you would consider painful are not so bad. A lot of it has to do with your mind set and who is doing the actual piercing. If you have your mind made up about your piercing that helps, next it's the person doing the piercing, if they are good the piercing should be smooth and simple. Now for locations that would be considered painful. Exotics (any piercing below the waist line) in the hands of a professional are not bad, we have out tricks to make the whole experience a lot easier. This also applied to nipples, understanding the area and it's structure allows us to pierce it without the "you tube" drama you see in some videos. Do your research and find a piercer who is really experienced (better than 5 years actually piercing). Experience doesn't mean they have a whole bunch or piercings, I know people who are covered in piercings and they still can't pierce, training and continued studying is the key. Mind over matter, if you don't mind the discomfort, the actual piercing won't matter. Happy Piercings!
No actually there are no pain receptors in the center of the tongue, they are all along the outside edge of the tongue to remind you not to bite your tongue. We are just piercing the center connective tissue between the two muscle complexes that make up the tongue so it quick simple and for the most part painless. The discomfort comes the 2nd and 3rd days post piercing when the swelling can be a bit painful and annoying. If you follow the instructions provided to you by your professional body piercer you should do just fine.
