Girls.....?

Question

Does it hurt to have ur ears pierced? On a scale from 1-10. (1 being no pain 10 being major pain)

And also,,...
I don't really trust going to the mall and into a store like Claires to get my ears pierced by some ammature. If u know what I mean. Isn't there a safer way to do it? Do hospitals pierce ears?

Answer 1

To me piercings don't hurt at all. On a scale of 1-10 the regular lobe piercings I would rate as a 1. The piercings that go through a bit more cartilage I would rate as a 2. If you're having second thoughts because of pain factors, don't let that get to you. When you look back on it the enjoyment of the piercing will be way worth the pain. No hospitals don't pierce ears, they are for pain relief not infliction =] As far as a safer place I would recommend a tattoo/piercing shop way more then some random minimum wage Claire's employee who probably hasn't had a piercing lesson other than victim number uno.

Answer 2

It's not unbearable. I'd rate it as a 4 for getting your lobes pierced, and a 6 for getting your cartlidge pierced.
Best to find a professional piercer, one that works for a reputable tattoo and piercing shop. Don't trust places like Claire's and Walmart... Claire's gave me a nasty infection. Places like Claire's use piercing guns, which cannot be completely disinfected, making you vulnerable to HIV and other things. Make sure that where you get it done, they use a brand new needle on your ear(NOT A GUN!).
Don't be scared about getting it done. I have 13 piercings and 4 tattoos. Believe me, it's just a minimal pain. Good luck!

Answer 3

I'd rate it at a 2.

If you are talking about the normal earing hole in the earlope, then you dont need to be affraid. They use this little gun-thing takes longer for you to sit down than for the person to do the hole. And its safe.
No you dont do piercings in hopsitals.
If you want something different, a piercing further up, then I'd advice shopping around the tattoo parlours first and see which one is the cleanest.

Edit: just remembered when I went to a tattoo parlor for the simple ear piercing they actually send me away saying they dont do the simple stuff. So just go to Claire's ;)

Answer 4

It doesn't really hurt that bad. Just for a split second. On a scale of 1-10 i would say a 6. It all depends how you take pain. I got my ears peirced at claires ( i think) it's been awhile. They are very sanitized. You could go to a tattoo shop, i think they do ear piercings.

Answer 5

on a scale of 1-10 i'd give it a 2. And claire's piercings aren't done by ammatures. I got mines done at claires and they did it fine.

Answer 6

It's really not bad at all. It just stings while it goes it but then right after doesn't hurt at all. Just make sure you keep it clean so it doesn't get infected!

Claire's is sanitary, I wouldn't feel weird about getting it done there. But if you really don't want to, check out some tattoo parlors in your area and find one that's sanitary. They'll do it there although it might be a little more expensive than some place like Claire's.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I guess it varies from person to person, and depends on their pain tolerance. I got mine pierced at Claires and although they were clean, my piercings didn't come out even. I would rate the pain 4...but maybe its just me. For me, it hurt a lot more the days after the piercing.

Answer 8

It didn't hurt too much,it was over in a second.I'd probably say a 4.

I got mine done at Claire's recently,and trust me,no matter what place you get your ears done,you can still get an infection,etc.Just don't do it at home=]

Any public place has to sterilize their instruments,put on gloves,etc. Don't worry!It's not that bad as long as you take good care of your ears.

Answer 9

i think all hospitals pierce ears. on a scale of 1 - 10 its probaby 4, but it is over really fast!

Answer 10

pain...ill give it a 0.5.....hardly nething at all
unles ure getting ure ear pierced where ure cartilage is...then it'll hurt a lil more..mebbe a 5
but if ure piercing only the skin part (like ure ear lobes) then u wont even realise that u got it pierced.....it'll feel a lil hot a few minutes later....its not a burning sensation...just feels hott (like someone kept a hot compress on it)
