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.

Honestly, it doesn't hurt that much, just a little sting and then nothing. I got mine done at Walmart and it was perfectly fine! It did feel like there were doorknobs on my ears and I thought that my earrings would get caught on the clothes racks but the feeling wore off after a few hours. I was 10 when I got them pierced. There's nothing to be afraid of, just keep good care of them!

I agree with the pinch your ear thing. thats how much it hurt for me, and I got mine peirced when I was 12 and they did not freeze my ears or anything.

It's really not that bad. Just a quick pinch, then a little throbbing. I got mine at Walmart and they did a perfectly fine job. It hardly hurts. And that's a lot coming from me, because I was 9 and a wimp:p

Umm.... actually, hydrogen peroxide will irritate your skin. You're supposed to use it IF your ears get infected. You're really supposed to clean it with boiled (sterilized) salt water. :/ Regular ear piercing doesn't hurt much. I got my belly-button pierced and it was quite a bit worse than that. ^-^

I got mine done at the doctor (I figured that's the cleanest and safest), and he even numbed it for me! So I can safely say that for me, it didn't hurt at all!
