Really depends what part of your body you're piercing, and where you get it done.
I pierced my ear myself, and it didn't really hurt, but it did sting for a bit afterwards.
I got my lip pierced professionally & they used some kind of spray, it numbed my whole lip, so i didn't feel anything at all. But there was some discomfort for the next 2 or so ...... 1 reply
i got my right nipple pierced, and two ear lobe piercings. the ear lobe was a quick sharp sting accompanied by heat. the right nipple on the other hand was different, tit didn't really hurt like it was so quick but all i felt was adrenaline, maybe its the fact im topless in front of a stranger and i can hear my own heart beat. it went swiftly and t...... 2 reply
Hell yes! Ugh, I'm 21 and graduate soon and I need to go to grad school/law school, but I just need a break T_T just being able to afford such a thing is kinda freakin me out.

I guess that I have thin cartilage there. Pulling the needle out pinched the most. Then my right ear was thicker, and a little more intense. About 2 minutes later as I was puttin...... reply
