i really want this piercing but i am a wimp with pain lolbut 2 of my friends have got i one said it was sore and onesaid it wasnt and im getting it tomorrow
It hurts extremely bad. I have 18 piercings and have never experienced that much pain at once. But the pain is white hot for a second then it fades into a throbbing as if someone pinched your ear extremely hard. Just make sure you watch the piercer get the area ready, make sure it's a clean needle and barbell. Infection is the last thing you want.
If you are a wimp with pain, you will probably think it hurts. For me it was intense during the first hole for what seemed like 5 seconds or so. It also started bleeding (which my piercer says this is the best part of my job!). If your cartilage is really thick, it will most likely hurt more as it will take more pressure to get the needle through. With this said, it was my best piercing experience and I love it! Just remember to breathe and you will be fine!!
Im assuming the scaffolding is the same as the industrial... i have it and i LOVE IT. it really wasnt that painful, it was a quick pinch and that was it, over and done with... you have to make sure you clean it with antibacterial soap alot and follow your artists instructions. Dont worry about the pain because its only for a miniute... it was too sore for me to sleep on only the first day, after that it was still tender but i was able to sleep on it with out a problem. it does take a long time for these piercings to heal.... 6-8 months but it doesnt hurt or anything (unless you try to take it out and put it back in before it heals-OUCH). the only thing i will warn you about it it is very common to get bumps around the hole of the piercing- not sure why... if this happens all you have to do is crush up plain ol asprin into a powder and mix it into a paste with water and apply it to the bump twice a day for a week or so and they go right away :) i say do it, you only live once... i wanted mine for years until finally one day i said you know you only live once, this is my body and thats the way i want to portray it and that gave me the courage to just do it already :)
