Piercing And Pain Levels

So many of you message me regularly when you see something you like;

'I love this, but don't fancy the pain of that piercing'.

Of course, pain is subjective to each person, but below is a breakdown of a general guide on healing time and pain level!

As I said above, we are all different. For example; my helix took 18 months to heal because I kept catching it in my hair, whereas my conch was healed and ready to switch to a new piece of jewellery within 4 months. 

I would also comfortably say that my conch was the easiest piercing, least painful when pierced (and afterwards when healing), which I believe is because it is nestled away in its little nook and protected.  Women I know that have their daith pierced have said the same!
Feel free to comment below with your experiences for anybody reading this that might want more info from someone who has had the piercing, which was your best and which was your worst?
