Most girls report that getting your ear lobe pierced is pretty painless. You’ll feel a sharp pinch for a few seconds, and your ears might be throbbing for a few hours after the fact, but it should not hurt. And so long as you take care of your new piercings, turning your posts and cleaning the hole daily with hydrogen peroxide, you should be able to ward of infection.

Hi I got my ears pierced for the first time in May, I was 15. I got them done at Claire's specifically because they use the gun and will do both lobes at the same time if you request it. I was SO afraid it was going to hurt, which is why I waited so long but I promise you it doesn't hurt as much as you think. You get so worked up and it's honestly like someone pinched your ears. After they're in they put this stuff on your earing that cools it and they feel a lot better. Unfortuneatly for me the earring got stuck in one of the guns and that hurt but they got it really quick. The throbbing after probably hurts more than the initial pinch but it's not too bad. Trust me, you'll probably be so excited about getting your ears pierced you won't notice much. Definitely make sure to follow the cleaning instructions you're given, an infection hurts worse than the pinch and the throbbing! Good luck!

I got mine pierced at Claires, and I didn't get an infection. However, I was apparently really bad with needles, and almost blacked out. I had to sit down for fifteen minutes afterwards. I hate needles.

@ rosiekitty94, I got my ears pieced at Wall-Mart too, they did a fab job! Someone who did your ears must of not of been experienced. I got my ears pierced when I was like 5 years old. Didn't hurt at all.

Getting my ears pierced hurt. I mean, I said "OW" when she shot me in the ear, and my head was hurting for a couple hours later. Then, lo and behold, my ears got infected because the woman at Claire's put the back of the earring on crooked. (FYI, everyone I know who has gotten their ears pierced at Claire's has gotten an infection. EVERYONE.) I'm allergic to nickel as well, so I can't wear cheapie earrings or my ears flair up, meaning that for the past three years, my ears have gone thru flair up after flair up. It's worth it to wear earrings, but gosh, it can be a real pain!

Muscle weighs more than fat, so that’s why you gain weight instead of losing it when you workout regularly.
