i really wanna go get it tomorrow, can you guys tell me about it? i have a couple question. I know pain is different for everyone, but how bad does it hurt on average? how do they pierce it? i watched a video online and it looks like they shove one thing through to make one hole, another thing through to make another hole, then attach the bar to end of the thing and slide it through, and then do the same thing to the other one. is that how it works? what happens if your ears grow? hahah i know thats an odd question, but hey its a concern haha i think thats all i wanted to know, if you could help out and answer that would be great!!
My scaffold, also known as an industrial, was one of my more painful, but it's not unbearable. It hurts mostly because it's two piercings done at once, which sort of just sets the upper part of your ear on fire at first, but it dulls down and is just sore after a while. Heal time is about 6 months, and you're sore for maybe the first month. They pierce it with a hollow needle one hole at a time, starting with the cartilage (or at least that's how mine was done.) And just follow through from there to the lower piercing. They slide the bar through using the hollow needle and attach the ends, etc. Ears, in your teens, generally aren't gonna get any bigger, so you'll be fine. And swelling in minimal - cartilage doesn't swell. Just take good care of both holes and keep your jewelry in. Your piercer will be able to answer everything beforehand - that's what he/she is there for. Just ask to make sure, never be afraid to ask.
