Industrial piercing questions?

Hey. So I've been thinking about getting an industrial and I would love to hear your stories/opinions on the subject.

Does it hurt and how do they pierce it? With a gun?

How bad is the maintenance plan?

How pricey was it?

Thank you!

    I'm not gonna lie it hurts.

    Of course they don't do it with a gun. they take one or 2 needles, depending on what piercing shop, and then shove it through your ear then the put the barbell through, or if you want the rings they put the rings in there. Sometimes it'll bleed but it might not.

    On a scale of 1-10 it was about a 7.

    Mine was like 30 bucks but i got a discount because my step dad's friend worked at the place.

    It hurts a lot for the first few weeks then the pain dies down and it'll only hurt when it gets hit.

    It takes about a year to heal and you have to clean it daily and do sea salt soaks.

    Don't clean it with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol. It kills the bacteria but it also kills the healed cells and will leave a lot of scar tissue behind.

    whilst getting pierced, your physique kinda is going by slightly trauma and you will each each now and then experience slightly vulnerable or dizzy headed. So, once you gets pierced be certain you have eaten a reliable meal or 2 and drank lots of water that day. Sugar in an skill drink is in simple terms going to make you crash...water is often maximum suitable. Ask your piercer any questions you have. He/she is there that can assist you and do a expert activity at piercing.

    I've heard it hurts A LOT and takes a year to heal completely.

    Get it done professionally! Always. It is done with a needle.

    If you can take the pain, go for it :)

    I want one too.
