I'm on about having it done but I'm scared its going to hurt I have my belly button done and my ears what's the rating of the pain?

I'm sixteen and have wanted my tragus done since I was 14 but was really scared and nervous to actually get it done. I'm really glad I have as I love the piercing! If I'm honest it did hurt but a needle through your cartilage is going too just make sure your brave and definitely want it done, it is really worth it in the end. I went to get my tragus done wanting to get the bar and not the hoop/ring in my ear as I really didn't like the hoop/ring. But unfortunately I was advised that the hoop/ring would be the best to have to reduce infection and be easier for the piercing to heal. If I'm honest the hoop really isn't that bad! Don't listen to anyone that says it's worse for the piercing as I had my piercing done 4 days ago and the pain has gone down so much and its super easy to clean. The hoop's better as you can clean the hoop and twist the hoop in your tragus to get the solution inside to clean it, mine feels so much better already and i'll be able to change it in 3 weeks time to a bar if I wish. Definatley use 2-3 crystals of rock salt 9don't exceed this as it hurts the piercing and does more good than bad) and boiled water as this has been so helpful and feels good on the sore piercing. The first couple of cleans do hurt and it does bleed but after 2/3 days the pain is gone and the bleeding has stopped. Also make sure you put it under the shower head for a bit as this seemed to help mine calm down. Make sure you don't sleep on it for a couple of weeks as it will be very tender, don't get your hair in it as this aggravates it and makes it sore and pro-longs healing and try not to fiddle with the piercing as this can give infection and make it sore. DO NOT GET IT DONE WITH A GUN as this shatters the cartlige and is illegal to do so but some piercers still do this! If you really want the piercing get it because it's worth it! I love mine and can't wait to get more bars and change it!

I really want it done but I am scared that it's going to hurt,
I am quite scared about the needle-
I have been watching many video's on youtube,
Most of my friends have it done and they are only 14-15, but they needed a parent to come with them to be able to get it done.
They usually get it done at my local place- Bananas in Basildon, England- Essex.
Usually costs about 30-35 I got told.
Really want it done I'm just scared about the needle.

How long does the needle usually stay in there for?
Can you feel the blood going into you ear?
Is it uncomfterble?

Everyone is different to be honest,
You can't really ask this question?
It depends on how much pain YOU can take and how much YOU think needles hurt.

If you don't like needles and won't be able to have the courage then don't get it done?
If you do have the courage and ask people if it hurts and they say yes, that's going to put you off?
Dont listen to them..

Think about yourself and how much pain YOU can take.

I want to get mine done and I've watched the videos and it looks like it hurts really bad so .. I'm not sure anymore and like 1 person is saying 1 thing and another person is saying another thing .. Oh and how do I convince my parents to let me get it done answering both questions would really HELP so PLEASE HELP ! (; thanks~
Btw I'm 14

I have 18 piercings (5 in each lobe, 2 on both cartilage, my nose, bellybutton, tongue and recently my tragus.) I am also 18 and I would to say a tragus piercings feel just like a cartilage piercing (duh because your tragus is cartilage) But it wasn't painful and if you can handle a regular cartilage piercing you can handle a tragus piercing. It takes for time to heal and take care of it. Make sure you are using saline rinses with non iodized sea salt (yes there is a difference between iodized and non iodized salt. Iodize slows down the healing process. Make sure it is down with a needle, if it is not get your butt out of that shop.

I had mine done about a 3 weeks ago! I have both sides pierced. I recommend getting it done with a needle though it's a longer process it's better. I'll admit the first one on my right side hurt like crazy but after I knew how the process was going to go the second one was quick and less painful. There are no bumps on the tragus, I have my upper cartilage pierced and that had a bump so I know what your talking about. With time that one did go away. And you don't have to be 18, just have a parent sign for you at the tattoo parlor.

I'm really scared about getting my tragus pierced but all you people have reassured me thank you! Xxxx(:
