Do cartilage piercings hurt?
Questions in the title! I recently had my second lobe piercings and want to get my cartilage pierced because I think it looks pretty but not too tacky.
I know people say it depends on your pain threshold-but could someone walk me through what it was like please? Particularly keen to hear from people who've had it done themselves. Do I get it done at Claire's with a gun? Surely if it was that bad for you they wouldn't offer it in the first place? Thanks! (I'm in the UK so Walmart does't exist or anything!)

I had my piercing done at Claire's and would also recommend them as the place to go especially as they are quite careful with how they do them.
I've not had my cartilage done (was something I had wanted to do but stuck with the lobe piercing instead for now) but it does hurt a little more than a lobe piercing because of the needle having to go through cartilage but it is for this reason you also have to leave the earring they do the piercing with in a lot longer (8 weeks I think) so the hole doesn't close. The good thing though, after speaking to everyone I know who has had it done, is that the pain from it does not last very long at all and some said that it didn't hurt at all and that their lobe piercing had hurt a lot more. It really does all depend on each person and their threshold of pain and just how their body is.

I got my two lobe piercigs and cartilage done too! Alright so, I'm not gonna lie. It Hurt. I almost cried, but strangers were starring at me so.. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, and the cartilage hurt the most out of all of the ones I got. It's because it is a really sensitive area, and the skin is thinner and it's like almost a very thin bone up there. It's easier to get infected up there also, which is why they highly suggest gold or white gold, which is what I did because my sister got it done years ago and had to take it out bc of infection. It sounds pretty scary, but so far it's been worth it. I wouldn't suggest anywhere but Claire's because I have gotten all of my piercings there and haven't regretted it.
Hope his helps~
