All About My Piercings!

On my Instagram, (and everyday) a lot of people have been asking about my piercings so this post is dedicated to those who want to know more. Firstly, some basic information is I have 10 ear piercings in total. Secondly, these are all personal opinions of mine throughout my experience, so it would vary with different people especially with the pain levels as I have a thicker bone structure for my ear. 

RIGHT EAR

Lobe Piercings

1st Lobe Piercing 

Age: 10

Pain Level: 2/10

At the time in which I got it pierced, I did think that the pain level was around a 5. But because I have so many other piercings that are based on my bone, the lobe didn't seem at all. I did decide for the woman to use a gun as it is the most standard form of tool for your lobe piercings. 

2nd Lobe Piercing

Age: 12

Pain Level: 2/10

The pain level was definitely a lot less since I had already experienced the first piercing on my lobe. However, if you are planning to get a second piercing, make sure that the spacing is accurate and not too close to your first piercing as it can merge holes and lead to an infection.

3rd lobe piercing

Age: 13

Pain Level: 3/10

The pain level for the third lobe piercing was slightly more painful than the first and second ones just because the woman pierced the earring closer to my cartilage area so it hurt more for me. 

Cartilages 

1st Cartilage

Age: 14 

Pain Level: 4/10 

I got this piercing done with a needle because it's much safer than a gun. The pain was dealable and it was numb after the jewelry went in.

2nd Cartilage

Age: 14

Pain Level: 9/10

This was the most painful piercing I have ever gotten since it was on the thickest part of my bone.The healing time was quite short so I the pain was definitely worth it. 

3rd Cartilage 

Age: 14 

Pain Level: 7/10

The pain was between the first and second cartilage. I wasn't sure if the reason why I didn't feel the pain as much was because the second piercing was so sore that it was numbing to the cartilage bone. The aftermath of this piercing caused the most trouble for me because my jewelry was too small and it slipped into my piercing. 

LEFT EAR

Tragus

Age: 14

Pain Level: 1/10

Honestly, when the needle pierced through my tragus it didn't hurt one bit. I didn't feel the needle going through until my friend told me. Some people say that you hear a pop in the tragus when the needle goes through but I didn't experience that. After the piercing and the woman inserted the piece of jewelry in, thats when the pain started to kick in. The pain wasn't bad at all but I wasn't prepared for it since the actual piercing felt like nothing.

Industrial

Age: 14

Pain Level: 6/10

I was the most nervous for this piercing out of all the ones I've done. I wasn't too sure why but I was almost in tears before the needle went in. The actual piercing was not bad at all. The pain was again, dealable.
