Frequently Asked Questions
What is the least painful piercing?
The Earlobe is widely considered the least painful due to low nerve density and lack of cartilage.
Why does the Industrial hurt so much?
It involves two separate piercings through dense ear cartilage, which requires more force.
Does 'Numbing Cream' work for piercings?
Most professionals advise against it, as it can constrict blood flow and affect the angle of the piercing.
Is the 'clamp' more painful than the needle?
For many, the pressure of the forceps is more uncomfortable than the actual needle pass.
Do 'Piercing Guns' hurt less?
No. Guns use blunt-force trauma which is more painful and damaging than a sharp piercing needle.
