I'm wanting to get a part of my ear pierced in the summer,which should I get,how much do each hurt,what is the healing period for each.I am getting it in the summer so it has time to heal before I go back to school,Help??
I even have the two piercings and function diverse evaluations on the two one in all them. in my opinion the cartilage piercings harm greater and grew to become right into a greater problematic healing technique then the nostril. I even have 3 helix piercings and the discomfort did no longer final to long grew to become into only sore after the preliminary couple days and of path the piercings themselves. My nostril piercing i in my opinion did no longer have any discomfort with it. there grew to become right into slightly pinch and that grew to become into involved approximately me it did no longer harm after in any respect.
Tragus! Hurts like a b***h (more than my tattoo in my opinioN!) and mine took like 9-10 month to heal but its great I love it and you can get some really cool jewellery.
Industrial takes the longest to heal, cartilage and tragus are pretty similar but infection/complications are more common in tragus piercings as they are knocked a lot by hair and headphones etc. They all hurt the same amount, unless you get your cartilage done with a gun, in which case it's much less painful (but more risk of your cartilage cracking, which is pretty painful in the long term). Industrials are usually done as two cartilage piercings with two bars, then the long bar is put in after they've healed. You should expect some discomfort and scarring around the piercing holes for quite a while afterwards. Tragus piercings often give you problems as the area is near to ear wax which contains all sorts of debris and dust ect. Most cartilage piercings should heal fine and be pretty low maintenance, and there are lots of varieties. If you want something unusual, google a 'rook' piercing.
