How bad does getting your industrial pierced hurt?

1.) i have 5 peircings and have a high tolerance to pain and i just got mine done & im not going to lie this piercing hurt out of all of mine. And each hole gets pierced seperatly. OUCH2.)^^ Hi; I have my nose; 7 along the ear piercings; and my industrial pierced. I am going to say that my industrial hurt the most out of all of them. On a scale from one to ten; for me it was about a six. But only for a few seconds; trust me its absolutely bearable pain. After you get it done it will be swollen for a week or too; just remember to keep cleaning it when you do get it done. But everyone varies in pain, iI really enjoy mine; good luck.An ear piercing is any piercing in the ear. The most common, and most culturally accepted ear piercing, is the lobe (the bottom part of the ear that consists of mostly tissue).


How do you put in an industrial earring?

What I do is that I get petroleum jelly and out it on the holes where the piercing was pierced, in order for the jewelry to slide in painlessly. Get one end of the jewelry and slide it through both holes, then tighten the ball.

No your industrial shouldn't be hurting unless you bang it or snag it in the course of doing something else. I don't know where you got the piercing done or what you are using for cleaning it and how often. So I will point you to the related links and see if you can find the answer yourself.

Can you get an industrial piercing at Claires?

No, not a chance. Industrial piercings are not simple and they have to be done by a professional body piercer with a sterile, hollow needle. If I'm being completely honest, no piercing should be done at Claires or any other place in which they use a gun. Theyre very unsanitary and the mechanism of the piercing can be harmful. If you want any kind of piercing, even if it's just lobes, I suggest going to a professional piercer.

If you get your ear pierced with a 16 or 18 gauge but put a 14 gauge earring in will your ear split?

Well 18g and 16g are neighbours in the gauge world, 14g is the next largest gauge from 16g so you would just be stretching the piercing up to 14g. All stretching should be done with proper tapers and ultimately done by a professional body piercer to ensure the piercing isn't torn in the process.
