A member asked:
Does piercing hurt and how is it done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes without anesthet: A hole is being made in your body so without anesthetic of course it hurts. The pain depends on whether the piercing is through skin only - ear lobe vs cartilage - top of ear vs muscle - tongue.
