Piercing Pains On a Scale of 1-10?

Question

I'm thinking about getting a couple piercings but I'm just wondering how badly they'll hurt.

So scale of 1-10:
Regular earlobe piercing? (I already have this, just trying to set the scale)
Cartilage piercing?
Nose Piercing?
Shot? (like for the chicken pox or w/e)
Tongue Piercing?
Small-ish tattoo on wrist?

Answer 1

Here you go!



So scale of 1 (low) - 10 (high) ?

Regular earlobe piercing? 2

Cartilage piercing? 8

Nose Piercing? 3-4, but it will make your eyes water no matter what. septum, however is a 1.

Shot? 4-5

Tongue Piercing? 2

Small-ish tattoo on wrist? inner wrist will hurt about a 5-6, and I'm not sure about outer wrist.

Answer 2

Regular earlobe - 2/10

Cartilage piercing - 3/10

Nose Piercing - 6/10

Shot - 1/10

Tongue Piercing -

Small-ish tattoo on wrist - 4/10

Answer 3

Regular earlobe piercing? 2/10



Cartilage piercing? 2/10 for the actual piercing, 3/10 during healing



Nose Piercing? 4/10.... hurts a lot worse when you accidentally snag your new piercing on a towel when you are washing your face!!



Shot? 1/10

Tongue Piercing? not sure, never had one



Small-ish tattoo on wrist? 5 or 6 / 10 depending on size, etc.



I have lots of tattoos (half sleeve, chest, back, wrist) and quite a few piercings. The most painful of them all? A conch piercing (through the little "bowl" of your ear). Just the cracking sound alone was very unnerving , but the healing process sucked too!

Answer 4

Regular earlobe piercing? (I already have this, just trying to set the scale)



Cartilage piercing?2/10

Nose Piercing?2/10

Shot? (like for the chicken pox or w/e) 1/10

Small-ish tattoo on wrist? maybe a 4/10

Answer 5

It really does all depend on your pain threshold.



Earlobe: 1

Cartilage: N/A

Nose; 3

Shot: 3

Tongue: N/A

Wrist Tattoo: N/A



I've had my lip pierced twice and thought it hurt less than my nose, as well as two tattoos, one on my hand and one on my neck, both were probably 4's.



But it really does depend, My best friend passed out when he got his lip pierced and I've seen people cry, then there are others who take it like it's a nothing. Most of the time though, at least I think, the five minutes before the pain are worse than the pain itself.

Answer 6

♥ I've had my nose done two times. First of all, make sure they either do it with a needle or a nose periceing gun - not the ear peircing gun. The ear peircing gun is now illegal to use on your nose in Australia, because its too blunt and it shatters the cartlidge and makes the hole in your nose too big, as the actually nose stud is alot thinner than a ear stud. Anyways, its a really quick pain, only lasts like 2 seconds. Makes your eyes water a bit, because the nerves are right near your tear ducts. Make sure you take really good care of it, its really easy to get infected, because alot of oil on your face come out your nose and sweat also. Buy ear care to use on your nose and when you go to bed, put a bandaid on it so it doesnt come out - they close really fast when you first get them done. Hope all goes well :]
