Question Posted Wednesday February 7 2007, 7:07 pm
For my fourteeth birthday my parents have decided that I can get a cartilage piercing. I was really excited and told my friends. One of them got this pained look on her face and said that when her sister got her cartilage pierced, she fainted because it hurt so bad. My other friend told me her piercing didn't hurt one bit. Now I'm confused. On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does it hurt?
juicyloverxo12 answered Wednesday February 7 2007, 9:30 pm: It barely hurts, its just like a 2-3 out of 10. It could have been that your friends sister's cartilage was pierced incorrectly or something. But you should get it pierced, because it will look fantastic and it doesnt really hurt. Just a small sting when it happens, and then after that its a little sore. [ juicyloverxo12's advice column | Ask juicyloverxo12 A Question ]

For a few weeks I couldn't sleep on that side. It's really not that bad just make sure you keep it clean and don't touch it!! Ok Good luck and really don't worry!!

so really..it depends on what your level of pain is.. [ easilyfixed's advice column | Ask easilyfixed A Question ]

As long as you have a hand to squeeze, ur all good. I'd say it hurt about a 2, but wut hurt more about it was after it, it was soo sore and red for like...a month after, but then it went a way, so now i'm fine with it.
