A member asked:
What amount does a pinna piercing hurt or it doesn't too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear Piercing: Pain is subjective. If you mean the soft lobes, they can hurt a little, if you mean the cartilage, it can hurt a lot more. I would not recommend piercing of the cartilage as it may lead to serious infection and visible deformity.
