There are many types of ear piercings and the level of pain can vary depending on the person and the area of the piercing. However, in general, ear piercings are considered to be one of the least painful piercings. Here are 10 different types of ear piercings and a rough estimate of the pain level:

lobular piercing:

This is the most common type of ear piercing, and involves piercing the earlobe. The pain level is generally low, and many people find it less painful than an injection.

Tragus Piercings:

The tragus is the small bump of cartilage near the entrance to the ear. This piercing can be a little more painful than a lobular piercing due to the density of the cartilage.

Tragus piercing:

This is a piercing in the lower part of the ear, just in front of the tragus. This piercing can also be a little more painful than a lobular piercing, but is usually still manageable.

Ear piercing:

This piercing is located in the upper cartilage of the ear. It can be a little more painful than previous piercings due to the density of the cartilage tissue.

‍

Rook piercings:

The rook piercing is located in the fold of cartilage at the top of the ear, just below the rim of the skull. The level of pain is often comparable to ear piercing.

Daith piercings:

This piercing is located in the small fold of cartilage near the ear canal. The level of pain can vary, but many people find it manageable.

Snug piercings:

The snug piercing is located in the fold of cartilage on the front of the ear, near the head. This piercing can be a little more painful due to the density of the cartilage.

Shell piercings:

This piercing is located in the large cartilage shell of the ear. The level of pain can vary depending on the specific area where the piercing is done.

Helix Piercings:

The helix piercing is located in the upper cartilage of the ear along the outer edge. The level of pain is usually manageable.

Industrial Piercings:

This piercing involves two holes connected by a bar. Holes are usually made in the helix piercing and upper ear cartilage near the head. This piercing can be quite painful due to the fact that it involves two holes.

Remember that the pain felt can vary from person to person and also depends on the level of experience and professionalism of the piercer. Always be sure to choose a qualified professional and follow post-piercing instructions to avoid complications.
