    You have only one piercing that I do not have and that is your septum. I have a single conch in my left ear and a double conch in my right ear. My counchs were a breeze. I too have a high pain threahhold/tolerance. I have a double left nostril and the first one was my most painful piercing ever and took forever to heal. The second nostril piercing was my least painful and took only a couple months to heal. Go figure. I love piercing (have 18) and tattoos (have 21). Btw, I am 63 years old and all but my first lobes (both ears) were done since December 2017.

    I was so nervous to get my conch pierced and then I barely felt the needle go through. lol My rook was the worst pain - not the actual piercing but when he was screwing the little ball on the jewelry and there was pressure on my ear. I had a blood blister on the rook and it popped and really bled everywhere. It's ok now.

    Oh, good golly, gosh, I got my daith pierced in September and it was easily the most painful piercing I've ever had. I'd rank it at a 9 very easily. But since that initial pain, the past two months have gone super well for healing and I love it. I think you would look kickass with an industrial! I got mine done a year and a half ago and I think it's my favourite piercing. I never had trouble with it, I didn't find it painful to get done, but it took easily fifteen months to fully heal.

    I know that feeling of your two single helixes together. I have a triple forward helix that’s just over 8 months old and when one acts up, they ALL do. They’ve been in an irritated to infected cycle that saw me at the doctor twice, and changed to bioplast (which has thankfully helped)Just went to my piercer today to try the no-pull discs to get rid of my irritation bumps. Tea tree oil only went so far and it kept returning. Didn’t help that my aunt went “what’s that?” this week while simultaneously reaching out and pushing my posts 🤦🏾‍♀️. I have symmetry issues so I want to do the other side, but I’d definitely do that one at a time, after these are a year and calm. Watching you and your conch journey has made me consider getting those piercings. And I’ve been itching to get my antitragus done thanks to those popular Maria Tash posts that have the ring in them, so cute. Love these piercing videos. Thanks for making them!

    Getting my conch pierced (Jan 2019) was easy. Didn't feel anything until hours later and that was just a bit of soreness. I did get bumps, front and back, and I had a hard time sleeping but luckily I had a travel pillow which helped. It's been 8 months and it looks and feels fully healed. Just got a bump recently, but a little saline wound wash for a few days cleared it out.

It was almost 2 years old and my ear rejected it. The crusties came back horribly and you could see the jewelry starting to push out.

    I have my left nostril pierced which was probably a 3, my helix (right) which I’d rank a 4.5- 5, my tragus (left) which was a 5.5, my firsts lobes which I fact really rank as it was 7 years ago and finally my recent addition which I got today is my snug and that was probably a 2.5.
    I was debating whether to get my conch or my snug and decided to go for my snug because it’s kinda unique.

    I have a pretty good pain tolerance as well. My first piercing (except lobes) was my conch. I don’t know why , but it hurt like hell. I got it pierced with a hoop (bad mistake) and it got a huge keloid. I didn’t know that you’re not supposed to pop them, so i kept popping it and it kept coming back. Finally I changed it to a flat back and it eventually healed. My next piercing was my helix and it didn’t hurt at all. I got it pierced with a hoop as well , and had to take it out because it swelled like hell and i couldn’t fit the jewellery in. Next one was my tragus , and it was a breeze. Both healing wise and pain wise. The last one I had (by the time of this comment) was my rook. It didn’t hurt, and it felt healed after a couple weeks.

    Yessss, I can relate to the daith one. I got mine done over two months ago. It was a breeze to get it for me actually, but I was getting 3 percings on one sitting that day - daith and two helix,so the helixs hurt me more.
    And the daith is such a pain in the ass for me. I got a huge bump on it which is called "ziarnina" in polish and my percier removed it. Then it got infected as heeeeck so I went back, she drained the infected blood and changed my percing to new one. Then it got this bump AGAIN but its small now, so we didn't touch it at all. And after all that it started bleeding again after two months of being done. Like what the heck??? But I'm gonna suck it through, because I love it and I hope that it will heal eventually.

      Roberts129 I would recommend to get your rook done, I got mine done roughly 7 months ago. The piercing getting done was a lot less painful then I had expected, but I had trouble with the healing, my piercer had put a small bar in and it was eating into my ear, it got pretty infected and painful until I went back and got the jewellery change to a bigger bar. So I would recommend to get it done just make sure the jewellery that is being put in allows room for the piercing to swell up and breathe and you shouldn’t have any problems unless your body rejects it

    I had my belly button pierced 3 years ago and it was nothing, and the healing process was perfect. I also had my tragus done about a year and a half ago and I'd rate it a 5/10 (it was my favourite ever!) but I had to get it removed due to a large lump that wouldn't go (not just that, it was mainly due to school but whatever).I'm also getting my helix done in December but I also want the conch, tragus again, another helix to make it double, double forward helix and the rook. I know that sounds a lot and I definitely won't get them at the same time but I will be getting a few in June just before I finish my gcses (for prom basically).But does anyone have any tips on keeping them clean and avoiding lumps? Much appreciated x

    Girl I so badly want a daith and a couple helix piercings... I recently had a catastrophe with my conch though and it's still struggling. I was pierced with a labret (10mm) on July 20th this year. I left the jewelry and was healing it as best I could, but I noticed that since the back was flat, it caught on my hair and since it is mostly healed by now, it hurt to sleep on, but only on the back of my ear, so when I got my third lobe done with a different piercer, he offered to change it out to an 8mm barbell... it didn't swell from the change, but it was difficult to clean and had blood every time I cleaned it, which was weird, it had been 3.5 months... and suddenly one night the back ball popped off and went down the drain, so I panicked and had to put a 10mm hoop in because that's all I had and now it has a bump from the experience, but I went back to my original piercer and she put a 10mm barbell in and told me I'll never be an 8mm and will only be able to size down to a 9mm so that was a fun time.... it still has a tiny bump from that trauma but it's not painful in any way... but my rook is such a brat with its bump

  • @laurajpeg13

    My conch was a BITCH. I’d give it a 6 for piercing pain, the healing also a 6 since I couldn’t sleep on that side at all for months! It was so uncomfortable and I had to be super careful with people coming in to hug me, walking past me, etc. I had bumps on and off with it but it’s been 9 months now and it’s completely healed and okay.

  • @beatrizpinho7175
    @beatrizpinho7175 4 года назад

    Well I'm bored, so I'm gonna talk about my experience with my piercings. (I have 7, if you consider the earlobe ones)
    My first piercings ever were the earlobe ones (I have 2 in each ear). All of them were done with the gun (I didn't go to a studio, but to a jewelery shop). They don't hurt and the healing process is super easy, point blank period.
    I've also had an ear stretcher before and it was great, both the healing process and getting it done.
    I got my septum pierced a few weeks ago and let me tell you, it was the best decision I ever made. If anyone out there wants to get one, plssss do!!! Of course pain tolerance differs from person to person and so does the so called "sweet spot", but it really doesn't hurt that much. When I first got mine, my piercer told me my sweet spot was rather stiff/tough and I was like "oh shit, it's gonna hurt". It barely hurt, the pain is very manageable!!!!! It just hurt a little bit more to put the barbell on, other than that it was great. Some people experience bad healing processes, but mine so far is GREAT. It doesn't hurt at all, it barely even hurt after getting it pierced (it was only sore for a few days). If you take good care of it (I clean and desinfect my piercings 2 times a day and other than that I just leave them alone), I think it should be fine.
    On the same day, I got my navel and helix piercing.
    In all honesty, I think my Helix was the most painful. Although it didn't hurt A LOT, you can definitely feel it. I think it hurts a little both when you get it and afterwards. (probably bc it's cartilage) I've had it pierced in the past, so it wasn't a surprise. It's a pain in the ass to take care of it, because you need to be really careful. Desinfect it very well, don't sleep on it (even if it stops hurting, because it WILL hurt again and it may create a bump), just leave it the heck alone or it will be hell. If you do that, you should be fine. Healing process is *ehhhh*... could be way easier, but it's being very much ok considering the area.
    My navel barely hurt as well, it was a very quick pinch. It hurt after getting it pierced quite a little, but not too much. You also have to be really careful while it's healing, because it's in a very central spot of your body. You can't sleep on your stomach and have to be really careful with your clothing (both because it might hurt if your clothes get stuck on your piercing and it might clean off whatever you used to desinfect it). So far, my healing process has been absolutely great and it doesn't hurt one bit.
    I got these 3 in the same day, so I couldn't really differenciate the pain levels between each one. At the time, to me, they all hurt the same, except it was in different spots.
    To compare: Earlobe < Ear Stretcher < Navel < Septum < Helix. (pain level)
    Then again, this is personal. :) GO GET YOUR PIERCINGSSSSSS!!!!

    @paam0126 6 лет назад

    I honestly can say none of my piercings hurt... or at least were half as painful I thought they'd be.
    If I'm honest, the more painful ones were my middle cartilage piercings, just in the middle of my ear, those hurt like hell the next day, but I think it is because I got them with a gun (I know it's not good, I got them when I was like 16 and didn't know much about piercings). But I got most of the painful piercings, conch, rook, tragus, a lot of helix piercings and none of them hurt that much. If I had to choose which hurt the most, I'd say the rook, but it didn't really hurt, I just felt it a bit longer than the rest (when getting pierced), but the healing was HEAVEN, the most easy of my piercings, hurt for two days or so but never really gave me problems. I was the most scared about the conch... but it really surprised me, it didn't hurt a bit, some of my helix piercings hurt more (I got two helix the day I got my conch and tbh those hurt more than the conch) , I also got my belly buttom more than a year ago but it rejected :( it took a long to heal and it never really healed, such a shame cause I really liked it. The tragus also gave me little bumps that scared me, but right now it is completely healed and it's one of my favorite piercings.
    Idk if I have high pain tolerance or what, but if people ask me, do get pierced, it's worth it.

    I don't remeber my first lobe so..
    2nd lobe- 2/10
    3rd lobe-4/10
    4th lobe- 2/10
    5th lobe- 2/10
    I had no problems with any of my lobes they all healed fast and great.
    Tragus-2/10
    Almost least painful peircing ever healed so fast it took maybe 2 weeks. I actually do have a very small tragus.
    Top helix- 3/10
    Very fast healing hardly hurt
    Lower helix- 5/10
    Got a keloid took so long to heal I have had it for almost a year and a half the keloid is gone but still gets sore from time to time
    Industrial-
    Top-4/10 wouldn't have really known it went through if it weren't for the sound
    Bottom- 7/10 almost made me cry a little bit but the bottom is healing faster than the top and I have keloids on it but they are getting a little smaller I have had It for about 3 months..wouldn't recommend using tea tree oil hurts so bad and it doesn't stop hurt so bad putting it on it and it made is scab up and get really puffy
