Does piercing the cartilage hurt a lot?

first and second hole second holes done and the cartilage

I have my first&second hole and just got my cartilage pierced two days ago. I got it done at Claire’s with a piercing gun. It didn’t hurt me at all. All I felt was a TINY TINY pinch. In my opinion, I think it hurt LESS than my first&second piercings. Although, the cartilage piercing will be sore for about 1-2 weeks. The soreness is already not that bad. It is to a point where I can actually sleep on my pierced ear. I think you should get your second holes done& the cartilage. I LOVE IT.

bullshitt I did allmy piercings including my cartilage and it didnt shatter its fine

well I personally dont think they hurt at all. it feels like a pinch and its done and then its just a little sore during healing. not a big deal .

Piercing Pagoda uses a piercing gun which is very unsanitary. It’s best to go to a piercing salon where they use needles. The pain isn’t too much to handle, the only thing is it hurts to sleep on it for the first few days. I also had a problem with it getting caught in my hair and blankets and stuff but other than that, it’s fine.

I agree with moe214, don’t go to a piercing place that uses a gun, they are done so much better with a needle which any tattoo shop will do for you.

Getting it done with a needle hurts less, is safer as far as bloodborne diseases go, and won’t render blunt force trauma to your ear.
