I want to get a piercing like this one: I have my lips and ears pierced but never cartilage. How much more/ less painfull is it? And do you females like the way it looks (I'm just curious, I'm getting it because I want it, not of others do)?
Im not a female but i am a piercer and have had it pierced, id say it was about 8/10, if u get it done right it wont be that bad. by right i mean with a needle at a good shop, dont go to claires or walmart and get it done with a gun, in fact, its illegal to pierce ANYTHING except earlobes, which imo shouldnt be done either, guns=bad cartilage takes a few months to heal and may never fully heal, like, it might close up if u take out the jewlery, even after months. to sum it up, yes it is a little more painful than other piercings, but thats half the fun anyway. if uve had ur lips,nose or eyebrow pierced u should be ok, just eat before u go(so u dont pass out) and u should be fine. sorry for rambling, im high as fuck....
Go with something more extreme like subdermal prosthetics or a dermal punch. I think straight forwards peircings like the one you're talking about are way too conventional these days. It's just assuming an already well-established image, not about individuality. Bi-sect something. Remove something. Make a statement.
Damn, and here I thought it was annoying shaving my head. On topic, I don't remember feeling any pain when I had my conch pierced and that's a thicker piece of cartilage. In any case, pain is temporary and forgettable.
