Does it hurt to get these piercings.....?

Question

for those of expierience or who know one who got one

scale of 1-10 pain scale 10 being highest. how bad is it to get your toungue pierced and also your cartilage...also even second or third piercings on the lobes... haha thanx

Answer 1

the tongue doesn't hurt when you get it done (2 or 3), it hurts after (8)...the cartilage is the most painful of all the piercings (and i have all the piercings!)...maybe a 5...but is like a 7 or 8 after, you can't sleep on it for like a few months (or at least i couldn't)....but its really not bad at all.....but if you get the part of cartilage that is attached to your head, that doesnt hurt at all, its like a 1-not even a pinching feeling either, and doesnt hurt at all after......lobes dont hurt either, its just like your ears are really hot! i'd give the lobes a 2...

....just look away and tell them not to tell you when theyre doing it and it will be over before you know it!!!! If youre trying to choose between the three go with the cartilage...dont do your tongue if you have sensitive gums because it will wear down your gums on the back of your teeth-i took mine out cuz of it...then put it back in myself like 2 or 3 other times, and took it out for the same reason...it kills your gums-and isnt worth it...if it does bother your gums just wear a much longer barbell in it and it wont rub as much!

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Second and third piercings on the lobes feel exactly the same as your first ones. But I guess it would vary between different people. Mine didn't hurt.

Answer 3

I don't have anything excpet 1st and second ear piercings and my cartilage...non of them really hurt...they kind of hurt a little that night after trying to sleep on the side with the cartilage piercing...but it gets better...they don't hurt that much though...but i have a high tollerance for pain

Answer 4

i have 4 lobe piercings as well as tongue and cartilage and of all of those, the cartilage was probably the worst. i also have my belly button pierced and that was actually rhe mose painful. i would give that about a 4 or 5.

cartilage about a 3 or 4. and tongue 3, lobes 1 or 2.

all of the piercings are fine immediately after, and so worth it.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Cartilage- Dose not hurt that bad.. Mine just stung a bit-4/10

Answer 9

I know tons of people who got these piercings and they all say the same thing.

Tongue piercings hurt a lot more after you get them. My friends got theirs pierced and they couldn't eat solid food for 3 days. But when they got it pierced it was not that bad, however it is worse pain than your earlobes.

Your cartilage hurts a little bit more than your earlobes, because it is harder. It also takes longer to heal. But it is not bad, I'd say it's a 3.

Your earlobes, whether it's your first or fourth earlobe piercing, they don't hurt. It feels like a little bee sting or a pinch, but it doesn't hurt afterwards like a bee sting does. No matter what you get it's going to be sore when you're cleaning it. I think an earlobe piercing is like a 1 on the scale.

Answer 10

i have my tongue pierced. the actual piercing process didnt hurt me at all....but my friend said hers hurt. but personally, i didnt really feel the needle all the much. just the healing process sucks...for like a week or so. it swells up and is sore. but after a week or so, it should be fine again. just switch bars after the swelling is gone. i used to have the industrial piercing. the piercing process didnt hurt me, but it took a long time to heal. u cant sleep on that side for awhile. just take care of it and stuff...dont get it caught on ur hairbrush or something like that. but i eventually took mine out because it would heal up and be ok...then the next thing i knew it would be sore again. and i took good care of it. everyone i know that has more than one piercing in their lobes said it didnt hurt. but my friend had her top cartlidge pierced and she said it hurt.

Answer 11

none of them really hurt but your tongue hurt after wards 7/10

Answer 12

have then use Anastasia  

Answer 13

One of my best friends has almost everything tattooed or pierced. She said that the cartilage was the most painful, but not excruciating, so probably a 4 or 5, but when you get your tongue pierced, you won't be able to eat solid foods for a week, and it's really prone to infection. Third piercings on the lobes don't really hurt if you have had the first piercing, they feel about the same.

Answer 14

the ears are only a pinch as with most piercings.  make sure you go to an experienced piercer.  my cartilage is almost 3 years old and hurts when there is an earring in and i lay on it.  i figure i got my nipples done so i can handle the rest of them.

Answer 15

ok well I'm sure you know that everyones pain tolerance is different but from people that has got them and told me well I got my tongue done I getting it pierced was a 7 but afterwords trying to eat and stuff was a 10. cartliage it about a 2 lol not bad. it just makes your eyes water a lot.

and 2nd or 3rd piercings on ur ears not sure. I was actually wondering the same thing.

Hope I helped!

Answer 16

Tongue a 5 depends on your tolerance for pain. Cartilage 2 but the after effect keeping it clean and what not can be painful.

Answer 17

It really does depend on how sensitive you are. For many they get piercings, and yes they hurt, but then they get over it. Cartilage tends to be more painful then the normal ear piercing, but second or third piercings should generally be the same as your first piercing on you ears. Also your tongue is muscle, once you get it pierced it gets swollen and the pain lasts longer because you the tongue moves a lot (talking)

Answer 18

Certainly everyone has a different level of pain tolerance, but most all piercings have a "bee sting" feel to them.  

Answer 19

cartilage - 2 + stinging.

2nd/3rd lobes - actually about a 3 + the stinging

Answer 20

I've had my tongue pierced and it didn't hurt at all many places say that it is the least painful piercing I give it a 1. Cartilage was maybe a 3 the popping noise being kind of annoying. Having my earlobes done was actually the worst give that an 8 but this was mostly due to human error and a horrible piercing tool, the back of my earring started to come out the front after a day since I was young and my parents weren't exactly parent material it was infected then had to be removed by a doctor..blah blah, hated it but finally worked up enough nerve to try again and it wasn't nearly as bad. The earlobes are the most common piercing and in such people are not trained as thoroughly to do them.

Before having anything done with your tongue make sure you look up dental problems associated with having this and other mouth piercings!  

Answer 21

i aint gonna lie it hurt when i got my 2nd and 3rd peircings done on my ears.    it was more of a shock that i actualy did it.   it just felt kinda like my ears was on fire after they was done

Answer 22

tongue is painless when you first get it pierced but can range from  7 TO A 10 after wards.

Answer 23

ya kinda  

Answer 24

I would give any type of common piercing a 2 at the highest, I say this because the pain only lasts a few seconds.

I've had several piercings and have also shattered my kneecap and had to get metal plates drilled into my leg so I know what a 10 is on your pain scale.

If you are sensitive to pain I would score some painkillers to take before the piercing, but remember it is illegal to take narcotics without a perscription. Your doctor may prescribe you a few if you ask.

Answer 25

Toungue- 4, keep in mind you might have a hard time eating or talking for a few days.

Cartilage- 8. It hurts more afterwards than getting it done. It will take a while for the pain to subside. You can't really sleep on that side for a few days.

Second or third piercing on the lobes- 3 I would say this hurts the least at of everything.

Note: everybody handles pain different what hurts me may not hurt you or the other way around.  

Answer 26

to me tongue feel like u bite your tongue but not that hard it goes fast

Answer 27

your cartilage piercing pain depends on where you get it im guessing your getting a normal one so id say about 3 anywhere else where its thicker hurts moree  

Answer 28

Can't answer for tongue but it is not a lot more painful for lobes but as you go further up it is harder to heal and I need to wear real jewelery and no costume in the upper piercings.  It is a 1 for a normal piercing and about a 1.5 further up the lobe.
