Back Dermals 7/10 - definitely the worst that I’ve had done but only because they have to do a muscle punch before actually placing them. Honestly was expecting worse but still not pleasant - had them almost 10 years now and very little problems, still LOVE them 🥰 Belly button 5/10 - not ter

Ear piercings and the pain :)
Lobe piercings 2/10- I will say these hurt but more of a stinging hurt, easy to care for me easy to heal. My two first lobe piercings I stretched to 00g and now I’m trying to size down that’s why one of them is a little funny looking lol. Double conch 2/10 - I am amazed by how painless this pier

Daith & Rook
Why Are Rook & Daith Piercings So Tough to Heal? These inner cartilage piercings are tucked into tight, curved areas of the ear-making them more prone to pressure, irritation, and limited airflow. Healing can take 6-12 months and requires extra care. Healing Tips: • Avoid sleeping on the pi

✨💎 Least to Most Painful Ear Piercings (Ranked by You!) 💎✨
Let’s be honest — pain is totally subjective! 😅 What feels like a 2/10 to one person might be a full-on 10/10 for someone else. But after hearing from thousands of Impuria babes (and a few of my own slightly dramatic piercing moments 😭), here’s how I’d personally rank them from least to most painfu

Here’s the other side! My hidden helix is also brand new and because of the way my ear is shaped the piercer pierced it at an angle so I can still wear the jewelry I want to wear. My double helix still gives me so much trouble but besides that, the rest of my older piercings are healed. My daith wa

Industrial piercing and my experience so far
#lemon8diarychallenge It’s actually been a pain to take care of but I love it so much. I love the way it looks tbh. If you can’t take good care of your piercings then DO NOT get this one because it is actually so high maintenance. It’s been a year and I still can’t sleep on it because it hurts

All of my piercings have been done by me because I love piercings and they are pretty pricey 💰💰 I don't recommend doing your own piercing because you can get a serious infection but if you know what you're doing then go for it 😁 I am not no professional but I always did a lot of research

what was your “never again” piercing?
pain charts are helpful, but your anatomy and piercer matter way more. My lobe was a 2, but my snug felt like a spicy 7 for the first 10 seconds and chilled fast. Hydrate, breathe, and don’t rush the swap—internal threads or push‑pin for healed spots have been the smoothest for me. Your turn: which
