Does getting the top of your ear pierced hurt?

Asked by jodiebaby over 2 years ago, 32 answers.

I really want my ear pierced at the top but I'm scared it'll hurt.
what rating would you give it from a 1-10 ten being the baddest pain.
I already have my ears pierced three times at the bottom.

I think it hurts. I had mine done by a body piercer who used a needle and pushed it through but you could have it done by someone who uses a piercing gun and it might not hurt as bad. But the pain is just temporary, it's definetely tolerable. What really hurts is the months after. I couldn't sleep on that side or put a phone up to that ear. I still have mine going on 5 years now!!

it doesnt hurt that bad. it hurts a little more than your third piercing. and the pain lasts for like 30 seconds after you get it pierced but after that its fine

You mean the cartilage? Hehe, I have 16 altogether. And it's like a pinch that's all...Hurts for a while and then the pain is gone..So, no rating...no pain..nothing.

Want other people's opinion?

I got mine done 2 days ago and I love. I think you should just do it and you will like it. The guy who did mine used a piercing gun so it was just a loud click then it felt very hot and a bit sore but it didnt hurt as much as my 2nd ones on the lobe! I'd say 3 on the pain scale with a piercing gun. Go for it!

Are you talking about the cartilage? I did that when I was 12 with a sterilized safety pin, and it didn't even hurt that bad. I'd say 3 or 4 on the scale. It makes this cool popping noise when you do it, too! Lmao.

Well, I have three cartilege piercings (I had my tragus too but you're probably not talking about that kind of cartilege), and I can say that the one that hurt the most was my inner helix, second most was the one on my lower cartilege, and the least painful was the one highest up on my ear.

2 maybe 3 I had it done and it does not hurt at all don't listen to all the people saying it will hurt it is just like a 3 second thing now if your a girl which I think you are by your name KEEPP YOUR HAIR OFF OF IT!!! if it gets infected like mine did it will hurt SSSOOO bad to get it took out which you do at homer like any other earing well hair got rapt around mine and when I pulld the earring out hair and blood was on it but if you take good care of it every thing will be fine
ALSO if you want to ear your hair down to school/work/out (depending on your age)
when you get home put it up and peroxide it also it hurts to sleep on it for a little while once its peirced

I just got mine done a few weeks ago, and beforehand, I'd been searching all over the internet, and I found people saying yes, and no. Personally, when I got mine done, it didn't hurt one bit at first. I just heard a pop, and was relieved to hear it was over. It stung slightly afterwards, but it's worth it. Just make sure to take aftercare seriously, otherwise it could get infected. Also, don't touch the bar/ring or twist it, and don't take it out for at least 3 weeks, as the bar/ring is creating a flesh tunnel, otherwise the site can become very tender. Hope this helped :D

I really badly wanna get my done but iduuno if itss scary..

Answered by abbieness on May 29, 2009, 10:24AM

I doubt it will hurt that much
I've been told the pains bareable, like all your other lower ear piercings but its a problem at night hwne your sleeping lol but im sure it'll be worht it afterwards!! I can't wait to get mine done (: x

Answered by oxjohnston71 on Jun 30, 2009, 09:52PM

im 13 now. I don't really know how to explain it, but its probably like a 3 the only part that really hurts is after because it aches for about 3 hours, but it dies down after 30 minutes. and doesn't really bother you anymore but its still kinda there. if you had your ears peirced three times on the bottom then its no worse then that believe me I've had my done 4 times on the bottom!
I've had mine done 3 times, 1 on my right and 2 on my left, and these were all done with a gun lol , and I was only 10 years old!! and I have a medium pain tolerance I guess? so no! go for it it doesn't hurt really at all, nothing you won't be able to handle, lol good luck!
