Piercings - how bad each kind hurt, and what kind of pain

I'm debating between a few different piercings.
I want to know how bad each kind hurt, and what kind of pain.
please only respond if you've had any of these piercings.
thank you!
xxx.

Septum (inside of nose)
Bellybutton
Nose
Lip
Monroe (above the lip)
or hip surface (2 on each side)

also is there certain ages that you have to be to get this piercing?

You usually have to be 18. Out of that list, I've had my lip, and my boyfriend has his septum. Both were bearable pain-wise, the lip took awhile to heal.

I wouldn't recommend getting surface piercings. They grow out so quickly it's not even worth the money.

haha I've all exept the hips
it depends on your pain tolerance, but its nothing you cant really handle,
the pain only last a few seconds
and to get them profesionally 16 is the average age you can get them without parental consent unless its in private parts...then its 18
however at 15 id suggest waiting a few more years to decide what you want and if you still want it
especially with the surface peircings or any on your face
as the editor says, surface peircings do grow out quickly, and if not removed at the right time can leave pretty bad scars

In Tennessee you have to be 18 to get it done without parental consent.

As for pain, it is all subjective. It depends on how well you handle pain. I have several piercings and to me, none of them hurt. But I have an extremely high tolerance for pain.

hip piercings? ewe. no offence hun dont get them im Bi and I would never think those things are attractive!! for anyone male or female. stick to your bellie button those are hot they hurt but no pain no gain right? also takes them longer to do?? so hey have fun with it. I wouldnt have a septum! and my ex has his lip peirced both sides and I dont know they aint attractive might as well get your tongue peirced so no one sees it. monroes dont hurt too bad, like I said bellie buttons are the worst! but the outcome is pretty, and did you know they never actually heal? not like ears and such b/c it's into the skin deep! so if you get that done always have somthing in it for best results! goodluck w your pirecings

I actually would have a parents consent.
So, is there still an age that you have to be? even with a parents consent.
cause im pretty sure around here the age is 13.

I got my lip pierced yesterday, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be (I have an extremely low threshold for pain, too!). It takes about a half a minute and the initial pain feels like the needle when you get blood drawn. :]

I'm 18, so I didn't have to have parental consent.

I have had at least 14 piercings, most self done. I do not recomend it however.
I dont' have a nostril piercing so I cannot informyou of that one :P

[in order from painless to painful]

Ears[lobe]-didn't hurt at all, and healed well with proper care.Gauging them also is painless as long as you don't skip gauges.

smiley[the flap of skin on your gums by your front top teeth]-suprizinly, this one didn't hurt really, It didn't feel to well when I ate warm foods so I ate popsicles for a week :P
this one is easy to hide from parents XD

navel-quick think pinch, not that bad at all

Septum[middle of nose like a bullring]-everyone said it hurts like hell but it was just a quick pinch for me. I barley felt it. However the healing is painful. The peircing is VERY tender, and you risk infections for almost 3-6 weeks. If you get an infection it could lead to death.I do not recomend self done septums, you have a risk of death.

Industrial[cartilage, a metal rod that goes from top of your earto bottom google it for pics]-depending on wea you get it,it doesn't hurt that bad. The clamphurts more then the needle. It's a strong pintch, and since it has two puntures you risk double the infection. this piercing was BY FAR THE WROST healing process for me. I couldn't sleep on my right ear for a month and It is still tender.(2 months later) but it's a very cool piercing. I recomend this cause your parents might approave of it the m,ost

lip[libret,snakebites.]not that painful,but you can feel hte needle go through all teh layers of skin. Make sure your peircer is fast. Your lip will swell and bleed and bruise a bit but other than that it's fine.

lip[monroe, madonna]-for me it was more painful than snake bites, but the healing was fine.

bridge[between your eyes on the birdge of your nose]-I don't have thisone but my friend does and he said it hurt bad. he described the pain as a ripping feeling and burning. the healing was tender.

Hips-14 gauge needle...hurt really bad. and You have to be careful because it has a HIGH risk of rejecting[the body pushing the piercing out of the skin, and it gets infected]

:]

I have my bellybutton and two vertical surfaces done underneath it...none of them hurt but in responce to the hip piercings it may not be a great idea. I was actually going to get mine done recently but changed my mind just because the piercings I have now...*especially the lowest surface* is constantly getting snagged on my belts and pants...managed to rip it out a few times at work by leaning on a counter and it got caught and fell out...not a nice feeling haha.
