THE PIERCING AND PAIN RANKING
Body piercings are currently trendy in the world of body art. Yet, uncertainty grips those curious about tattoo and piercing studios: Will it hurt? While everyone’s pain threshold varies, in this article, ELDI helps you clarify these doubts before deciding on your piercing.
At ELDI, we understand the importance of following hygiene and safety protocols for piercings, as well as using high-quality jewelry for initial applications.
One factor that determines whether the pain level will be mild or intense is the body area where the piercing will be placed—whether it’s the earlobe, nose, mouth, belly button, eyebrow, or wherever else you’re considering, as each area varies in sensitivity.
PAIN RANKING
Earlobe Piercing
Piercing the earlobe is generally the least painful for most people since there’s no cartilage in the area, allowing for a straightforward piercing and jewelry placement in one go.
Belly Button Navel Piercing
A belly button piercing is usually not very painful, despite the extended tissue between entry and exit points compared to an earlobe piercing.
Lip Piercing
Septum Piercing
When done correctly through the septum’s connective tissue, it’s one of the more comfortable piercings to heal and causes minimal pain.
Nose Piercing
This piercing tends to be slightly more painful than others due to cartilage penetration, requiring more time for healing.
Eyebrow Piercing
Tongue Piercing
Helix Piercing
More painful than previous ones, with intensity increasing closer to the face.
Daith
Conch
This area is as painful as the Daith but much more aesthetically pleasing and fashionable due to its wide variety of accessories.
Nipple Piercing
This perforation ranks second on the perforation pain scale, in addition to the fact that the tissue is very sensitive and therefore easy to injure.
Genital Piercing
The first place in the ranking, no doubt. Producing pain for adrenaline lovers, in all piercings. The tissue with high innervation and irrigation is of great sensitivity (both for pain and pleasure). But in its favor this tissue has a high regenerative capacity.
A pain ranking for each person
No one can be sure that this scale will be met exactly in all cases, since pain is perceived differently by each person.
And as we told you at the beginning of this article, pain also depends on the skill of the piercer, since if his movements are accurate and the procedure is well calculated, it will take a short time to go through the skin.
Finally, this pain scale has been compiled taking into consideration the experience of different piercers. That is why we would like to invite you to comment on this article by telling us about your experience of pain.
