Fact or fiction: Getting your ears pierced really hurts

 

Check these out, too...

My mom said I could get my ears pierced when I turn 12, and my birthday is right around the corner. I’m really excited, but I’m starting to get nervous, too. Does getting your ears pierced hurt?

 

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.

 

While some say that ear piercing guns are quicker and more painless than a sterile needle, there has been a lot of controversy lately over the safety of ear piercing guns because it’s impossible to sterilize them, and they also seem to have a high chance for mishaps. We recommend you avoid mall kiosks and opt for a professional piercing shop or reputable jewelry store, and if at all possible, have your piercing done with a sterilized, one-time-use needle rather than a piercing gun.  Pick hypoallergenic studs to minimize risk of your body reacting the metal earring, and listen to and follow the care directions you’re given!

Hey girlies out there,

Piercing, does it really hurt?

Well you will feel a sharp pinch that might make you wanna make a loud scream [I did]. But it doesn't HURTTT. Some people make it more than what it really is, but at the end of the day, it's worth that 1 second of 'pain'. Trust me Smile

Tips on how to overcome your piercing prob:

1- Every place that pierces will let you bring a stuffed animal that you can hug during the event. (Any place that says "no" are meanies.
2- Having that question in your head asking "what place should I go and trust?" Go to Clair's. They are really good at this stuff.
3- Go with a friend. They will hold your hand if you're scared. [If their a true friend they wouldn't make fun of ya ;)]

*Try not to get a "rookie" but if you do don't stress over it. Just trust that they will do it safe & right Laughing
*DO NOT move or jump around while they are in the process. Because then, you will have BIGGER probs to worry about!

Good luck girlies!
Lizzie <3

It hurts less than a shot. I have two piercings on each each and they both felt the same getting them done. I got them done at the same place both times (proffesional place) NOT at claire's (my mom wouldn't let me but I'm glad she didnt) my friend got them done at claire's and they were SOOOO uneven
