I'm getting one on Saturday, I already have double lobe piercings in each ear, and a flesh tunnel in my right, but i've heard cartiliage piercings hurt alot more than a normal lobe one?
I just got mine done last weekend, I wont lie its worse then a regular lobe piercing but every body reacts differently. The second hole definitely hurts worse then the first, but for me after the fact mine didn't hurt at all, some people say it throbs or burns but mine never did any of that. Good luck :)
I had mine done 2 days ago and honestly, no one actually believes me when I say this, but it didn't hurt at all. I think you need to go to a skilled piercer because some piercers take so long to get on to doing the second hole, that by the time they do it all the blood has rushed to your ear and is causing you pain. After your ear will feel very warm, this is normal.
