    I just got my triple forward helix pierced last night and HOLY NUGGETS it was by far the most painful piercing I’ve had yet. I have 3 earlobe piercings, 1 cartilage, 1 daith, my nose, Monroe, and now triple forward helix.
    The first piercing crunched a bunch! The second was the worst of the 3, and the third was in between the first two on the pain scale.

    I have 21 piercings and I have my double forward helix and it was by far the most painful piercings I have . It’s not for everyone but for me the second one closer to the bottom almost made me cry 😂

      YES!!! It honestly was the worst out of all my piercings too! I now have 11 piercings in, but those 3 piercings were something else. I had to take them out because they kept getting infected and just were not healing. Now I'm debating just getting one on the other side.

      @@rebeccakirshey2915 yep I remember that, smiling was so hard for a couple days! Never knew smiling moved my ears LOL! Keep an eye on them. When I would tell my piercer about my issues with my TFH she told me that three piercings so close together take a long time to heal because if one gets infected or angry it is so easy for the one(s) next to it to get infected too.

    I’m looking through these comments saying the triple helix is one of the most painful piercings. (I’m not getting it done forward though). I’m 13 and my mom said I could get my helix done sometime. I’m really nervous since they seem very painful 😔

    • @katelynngroh7213
      @katelynngroh7213  4 роки тому +2

      Hey there! So piercings are always going to painful. A needle is being shoved through your skin! BUT it's temporary pain and totally manageable. Everyone's pain tolerance is different too so you never know how much it's going to hurt because everyone is so different. Have fun if you do decide to get your ear pierced!

      It's weird though. I got it done about 3 weeks ago and the first week and a half if was completely fine and after that it started to get swollen and sore. It's not infected and it feels a little better now. I guess thats the healing process.

      Emma Barker weird, I’ve heard that about alcohol and Advil but not sugary drinks. I have super low blood sugar and blood pressure and am prone to fainting so I have to drink something with sugar to keep my levels high so I don’t faint. Plus, I’ve brought my lemonade into the room with my piercer and she hasn’t said anything so maybe it just depends on the piercer/shop!
