How much would a microdermal neck piercing hurt?

I actually just got two microdermal piercings on the back of my neck a few days ago and I'm absolutely in love with them. However, they definitely hurt a lot more than getting your ear lobes done. I consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance, but I have to admit that I cringed a little bit when I got these done. Out of all of the piercings I have, to me they were the most painful. (I have a lot on my ears, including my tragus and industrial, and I also have my nose and my bellybutton.) However, it could have just been my experience. Apparently I have really thick skin so the first piercing they did had to be redone- that was the one that really hurt, but the second one wasn't so bad. A friend I went with got her collar bones pierced and she said they didn't hurt anywhere near as much as she expected them to.

As far as healing goes, I'm not sure if this is true for everyone, but my friend and I noticed that for about an hour afterwards both of our necks felt a little stiff. (It kinda makes sense why it would happen to me, not sure why it happened to her though.) Again, this faded in about an hour. They'll probably feel sore for a little bit, but I had no problems sleeping on them later that night. Also, my piercer told me that the back of the neck is least likely to reject the piercings.

Just so you know, If you do choose to get them, and for whatever reason you want to take them out, you can't to it yourself- you have to go back to the piercer. I'm sure you could get them removed at a hospital if you prefer. You probably already know that, but I just thought I'd say it just in case. The fact that I can't remove them myself is the reason why I waited almost a year to get them, haha.

I hope this helps!

The pain honestly isn't something you should worry too much about as it fairly fast (little slower than piercings but still over in less than a minute) and I have found them to be far, far less painful than getting any piercing excluding ear lobes. Pros and cons with microdermals are; pros they are less painful than piercings, they are more permenant, less likely to reject and give the singular look of just one ball. Cons are they take alot of healing time and can be quite time consuming and problematic in that they catch easily and often have to be taped down at night to prevent them catching in your sleep and they are very suseptible to infection especially when they are in highly used areas like your hand and/or wrist. I have three microdermals myself, two on my forehead and one on my wrist, I have seen and known many people to have them in various areas and most have told me similar to my experiences. If you are willing to look after it well and deal with potential infection and catching then go for it. Hope this helps.

A microdermal is way different than a regular piercing itself. And leaves noticable scars later in life. The risk of rejection is extremely high as well.
