Answer 3

It hurts quite alot while it's being done, but it doesnt hurt all that much later. && make sure you get it pierced with a needle not a gun. If you pierce it with a gun your ear may collapse.

So good luck.

Answer 5

It's according to location. because some places have more nerve connections. The ear is probably less painful then the nose because of less nerve bundles.

Answer 6

i got mine done one week ago exactly and i've been taking good care of it and that's why it doesnt really hurt that much now .. when your gettin the cartilage piercing done the pain is not bad everyone says its a 2 on a scale from 1 to 10 ten being the worst and i absouletly agree its a quick pinch

now also many say don't get it done with a gun do the needle but the truth is doctors say you shouldn't be getting it done anyone so if the case is about being safe with your ear shattering cartilage can be done with a needle also so dont get it done at all dont listen to all those people ..

if you go to a sanitary place you will be ok claires is actually really sanitary but use your judgement on who's doing it ..  ask questions if your unsure of them ! ITS YOUR EAR YOU HAVE A RIGHT ! and just take good care of it

clean the piercing 2wice a day or more if you can i usually do about 3 times a day just to be safe .. have the back of the earing in the saftey slot .. ( WHERE YOU HEAR A SNAP ) and then slide the earring in and out of each cleaning and when you have time just keep turning the earing ( now all of a sudden i do it mindlessly) so yeah just do your judegment take care of the piercing or it will get infected :] kay bye

Answer 7

When I got mine done, it didn't hurt at all when it was being done, except for the little tiny clamp they use to keep your ear in place (it just feels like a little pinching, nothing much)

THEN about half an hour after it started to get really sore, and right at first it will hurt to the touch. Also in the cold.

When you go to sleep, put a stuffed animal over your pillow (on its side)  and position yourself so your ear is in between the front and back legs, not  touching the pillow!

lasty, mine got kinda infected. I had a bubble on it which made it take longer to heal. Dont squeeze it, or poke it, if you get this. It will eventually go away. (my bubble dissapeared after i went to a beach cottage for week, i dont know if that had anything to do with it)
