I’ve been wearing cuffs for a while, but I finally got around to piercings this afternoon. Got both lobes and the conch on one side done so far. Have to wait for the conch to heal before getting the other side done, so I don’t sleep on it and mess up the angle before it heals. The pain was minimal, even less than I expected, since it was a pro that did it, and the soreness so far is much less than the soreness after wearing cuffs for a few hours, so I’m super excited for it all to heal so I can wear more interesting earnings.
Very slightly more pain when piercing the conch than the lobes. But, it was less painful than most vaccine shots I’ve gotten at the pharmacy, honestly. I did pay a little more for a pro with a good reputation, though. Soreness probably will last a lot longer, but otherwise it’s way less painful than I was expecting.
Only issue is I didn’t think about my headset for work meetings. Probably will have to annoy people using my laptop speakers and mic for a while. Lol.
