I've had ten piercings, though I unfortunately lost one to rejection after hitting it with the corner of a box while moving- and I was very sad about that. As far as pain goes, I've found that a lot of times if you are breathing in a controlled way and exhale when they pierce (many piercers coach you through this), it's less painful. Relax as much as you can. The worst piercing as far as pain goes was my ear cartilage- and the easiest was my navel. Using a 1-10 scale to rate each that I have had: first ear piercing, each side: 1.5 second ear piercing, each side: 1.5 third ear piercing, right side: 2 cartilage piercing, left side: 4 nostril piercing, right side: 3.5 navel piercing: 1 tongue piercing: 1.5 cleavage piercing: 3.5 (it's a three part piercing, and the third part was the worst!) All in all, I've had worse headaches- and those don't have the nifty rush afterwards! I recommend ice cream after all is done. Sweet rewards. Good luck, and hope this helps- behindmirrors.
