It does hurt, but if you're just doing an ear lobe piercing it isn't bad. It's more like the pain of being pinched or getting a shot, and it doesn't last long. It varies depending on what you're getting pierced and your pain threshold. If you're wanting something other than a lobe piercing, I would suggest doing some research on what you want befor...... reply
got both my nipples pierced. the pain was real, like not "you-gonna-scream"-pain, but more like a silent kind of pain. it was like taking a stroll in hell but twice. that day, i couldn't move without hurting the area. however, you'll survive. 1 reply

I have my lip pierced, on the side. Didn't really hurt at all, kinda feels like a cat's scratch and poof - you're done. I think piercings hurt more after the procedure than during. Ear cartilage hurts like shit; I couldn't sleep on my side for more than half a year after getting my conch piercing but I've barely felt it getting pierced. I also have...... reply
It's mostly been said already but it really does depend on the place, type (i.e surface piercings are less likely to last, from my experience anyway), who does it and of course pain tolerance. I have a very high pain tolerance so can't be too much help there, I got multiple done at once (like 4 at a time lol). Currently have 26 piercings and my hig...... 1 reply
