So there's really no real way to know how much pain you can expect from a particular piercing until you've really gone and done it. Most piercers agree that earlobe piercings are the least painful type of piercing because they are positioned on a fleshy, easy-to-pierce portion of skin. I give injections a score of around 2/10, and stubbing my toe gets a solid 8/10 for the first few seconds or so.Īlso, every ear is unique as some people may have thicker lobes or stiffer cartilages. Just very, very uncomfortable (felt like someone was skewering my belly).Īll in all, I would say that I have an average to slightly-above-average pain tolerance at best - definitely very typical stuff. I would rate it a 5/10 as I don't remember it being particularly painful.
While I don't have an industrial piercing, I expect the pain ranking to be situated somewhere in between a helix and a conch piercing, since it's probably similar to getting a helix piercing twice at one go.Īpart from the ears, I also have a navel piercing, which I got after the conch piercing. In summary, here's a nifty Pinterest photo I found summing up the ranking of least to most painful: Basically, I wouldn't do it on my other ear unless I absolutely had to. Which means the pain dragged on for longer as compared to a short and sharp pain. Unlike all the others, which were done with a piercing gun, the crucial difference for the conch piercing is that it was done using a needle.Īnd I'm not gonna lie - my eyes watered up while the person was piercing my ear, and I nearly cried right after.Ĭompared to the other piercings, which were over in a jiffy, I recall that the conch piercing took significantly longer.
