Does it hurt getting your upper ear peirced?


Question:
How do I get over the pain that I know will be there ? What can I do so I dnt freak out .

Answers:
yes it may hurt... i suggest you go to a proffessional.. even tho the ear is cartalidge, there are still veins and nerves.. if you hit a nerve it may never heal right and always be painful... let it close and heal and have to get it re-done...... so instead just get it done right the firt time by a proffesional...
try to focus on something good or bring a friend with u and talk to them the whole time.
Yes but only for a moment. Sleep with a cotton ball under your ear to prevent it from rubbing against your head.
It hurts when you actually get it periced, but the thing is, since its cartilege, if you dont get it done reeeeeally well its gets infected and it gets EXTREMELY sore and i mean that really hurts like it hurts to just pull a t-shirt over your head, forget changin the earring. i had to take mine out (very painful) and let it close up and then get it re-done by a guy who did a MUCH better job. that was at a tattoo parlor, and the first time was at Claire's at the mall.
Yes it hurts like hell!! so dont do it..unuless you get drunk beforehand
i got my upper ear peirced and i didnt even feel any pain, just a quick pressure and that was it. my sister has had her upper ears peirced all the way down to the bottom of her ears, and she said the ones that hurt were the bottom ones, she didnt even feel the top ones.

on the top, it is passing through only a thin layer of skin, the rest is cartilage. the bottom is all skin and tissue, so it hurts worse.

there is a greater risk of infection though, so make sure you clean it regularly, but not too much
It hurt less when I got them pierced 11 years ago. When I put a pair of earrings in them now they throb the whole time they are in. When I take them out the pain stays for days. I don't wear upper earrings now unless it's a special occasion. Hope you have better luck than I did if you decide to do it.
