I have a question..i am getting my cartilage pierced this saturday and at walmart. But before i do, i want to know if there r any cheaper places and if it hurts a lot. Some people say it hurts like hell, others say they dont feel a thing....I just want to know all the facts before getting it done. thanks :)
But it also depends on what type of person you are. It may hurt, and it may not. Don't be too worried. Just close your eyes and its over, just take some aspirin afterwards to help(:

I will admit that it is a much more noticeable feeling than your average ear piercing. It is actually, obviously going through more than flesh, being that it is going through cartilage. It is a bit painful. Not unbearable and well worth the bit of pain in my opinion. Keep in mind that this piercing will require a bit of a different style aftercare than a normal earlobe piercing. Pain Scale Below
Pain Scale 1-10
During Piercing: 7
10seconds after: 3
One minute: .5(mostly just warm swollen feeling
4 Hours After: 0(Fairly Normal but tender to touch)
Next Morning: 9(Throbbing pain from slight rejection it will lesson the longer you are awake)
2.5 Weeks: No Notable pain unless roughly handled
Healed : No pain at all unless the tissue is damaged
