Does X hurt?

Star Lord

So you've decided to get a tattoo, or get X pierced.
You want to know if it'll hurt?

Yes it will.

You'll be getting a needle through part of your body, or having needles jabbed into your skin thousands of times.
It's going to hurt.
Some places it'll hurt a lot.
Other places you'll hardly feel.
These places vary from person to person, as everybody is different, and everybody has different pain thresholds too.

If you still want to ask any similar questions, post them here!

Chatty posts moved to OTB. Let's keep this thread on topic folks!

Me and a close friend both have conch and found it fine. Both healed up pretty straight-away too, with no complications, whereas another friend's snug piercing took months and months. Getting the right piercer makes everything a lot easier, as they'll minimise pain and set it up to heal as quickly as possible, but pain is really down to the person.

Usually, there's not much different between piercing X and piercing Y, but there's a difference between how person A reacts to it, which could be vastly differently from person B.

How painful are the below ear piercings considered?

Ear head
Rook
Conch

Also could you recommend a reputable place in Dubin city center? Ive read on that metalmorphosis isn't one of the better choices, is this true?

I just have a rook done, wasn't that sore at all, over pretty fast anyway. Mines been a bit of a pain. It's never been infected but gets sore and crusty from time to time, even though I've had it years. But nothing serious enough to make me get rid of it

I got it done in Snakebite on lower abby street. They are really good there, and give you lots of info on after care and such.

Just so you know, ClubDead, Metalmorphosis is gone now. It's called Connected Ink.

Star Lord

I don't think Connected have any connection to MetalMorphosis, other than that they moved (From Abbey Street) to the premises that MetalMorphosis used to occupy.

Didn't mean to imply that, sorry! I just meant that they're in that premises now, my bad.

I know that, just thought I'd spell it out in case anyone mis-read it!

Yeh im dreading the inner bicep mine will be getting done more than likely in the next couple of months and I reckon its going too be worse than the ribs or stomach.

One the lads in work got his done recently in Zulu and Sean but the numbing spray they have in there on him once he finished the outline, he reckons it was grand after that but killer the next day.

I went back in the next day for a session on the outer bicep and they couldn't believe how swollen my arm was.(looked good swole is the correct word I believe:D)

I honestly thought that compared to my ribs and stomach the bicep was easy. Near the armpits wasn't nice but nowhere nearly as bad as the 5 hours on my belly

Have to say, after getting the bicep done today, it feckin' kills!! He used the numbing spray which relieved the pain for a bit but as he was going from the bicep round to the tricep, it hurt like hell again!!

My bicep was by far one of the easiest ones I've had. Didn't even feel it in places!

Have to say it's been the worst so far for me. I heard the forearm was a bitch but it was grand for me.

I found my bicep the handiest one altogether
Bruised like fcuk though but was not sore at all
Tricep was bit of an ouch but not all that bad
Still think ribs have been worst by a mile

The tricep wasn't to bad it's the inner bicep that's the killer for me.Different people have different experiences though what kills one is a breeze for another.

Forearm is like being licked by kittens. Seriously. It was a breeze.

Found the arms and ribs grand. What did kill though was around the elbow, both on the elbow itself and the elbow pit on the inside of the arm. Only time I've had to say stop, could fell my jaw vibrating when the needle hit the elbow. Like a dull buzzing sound through my head.

Only got one on the lower part of my stomach everything was fine but the hip bones. Now that hurt a lot. My impression is that bony parts hurt more. Hip bone ,ribs,elbow, knees. Been told that behind the knees is very painful too.

Forearm was grand... my calf was horrible pain though!

Angron

My calf was grand, I actually got a bit bored towards the end of it :P

It really is all down to the individual, the hip bone while sore I found a lot easier than the ribs or stomach.

They're horrible. It's the healing as well. Every step obviously bends your leg so, for lack of a better word, it cracks the damn thing. Really felt like a looong healing process. Glad they're outta the way to be honest
