The second hole hurt like a motherfucker, and a month later it’s still sore, but it’s totally worth it.

How to get an industrial
It made me
 "It seems like a small thing, but getting this piercing was a defining moment of my life so far. I'm very happy I did this."
How I did it: I was in Amsterdam with my father. Jokingly whilst walking through the Red Light District, and looking at all the body jewelry in the stores, I told him I wanted to pierce something. He laughed, as he is quite familiar with my fear of needles (I chickened out of getting my lobes pierced 3 time...I'm talking sitting in the chair with my ears marked and they're lining up to pierce when I changed my mind). He asked what I wanted done, so I told him that I wanted a facial piercing. He said that my mother would kill him if he allowed me to pierce anything on my face. He suggested I opt for something a little less radical. I decided spur of the moment on the industrial. He agreed - I figured he was joking. We found a piercing studio, and he told me that if I sign the papers, I can't chicken out. The studio and the piercer were amazing. There were wall to wall mirrors in the piercing room though, which made me nervous. The needle was huge, and I was terrified, but I wanted to tough it out for my dad. Honestly, it hurt a LOT. I have a low pain tolerance. I hadn't eaten breakfast and almost passed out. It was sore for quite awhile too, but so worth it. Lessons & tips: Find a clean studio. The one I went to smelled like disinfectant. I would have eaten off those floors...it was sparkling clean. Use a piercer you are comfortable with. Mine was amazing - he made me feel comfortable, and explained in detail what he was going to be doing. Make sure the instruments are sterile and are opened in front of you. If at anytime you feel uncomfortable or that you might regret your decision, you should wait. Make sure it's what you really want. Follow the instructions they give you as far as care...it will make the healing process much easier.

How I did it: I've wanted one for a few years, but never did it because of the pain factor and because I'm afraid of needles. Finally, my friend Kate said she wanted to get her ears pierced (girl has her eyebrow, lip, and belly button, but not her earlobes) and I said I'd go with her and maybe get my industrial, but I thought I would wimp out. Next thing I know I'm filling out the form and I just don't stop myself... and I do it. It hurt a lot, but min… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well the mother in law said she wanted to get pierced, so I told the wife this, and we all decided to go down and get something. My wife got her septum done, and I got an industrial (ear project).The first hole didn't hurt at all. It was the second one that hurt. Before anything happened, I was thinking to myself "I forget what this feels like"Lol. But I have it now and I love it! Read how I did it…

Super excited!
How I did it: Well, a guy shoved a big ol' needle through my ear in two spots. Then he did some stuff and it bled real badly. Then he was done and I had a super-cute piercing that I will love until I get a court date for some serious crime and have to make a good impression.Just kidding to all of the above, except the "big ol' needle" part. But I LOVE it. It's so cute! Read how I did it…

It's totally worth it.

I did it a few months ago. Hurts like hell, but most people exaggerate – after the first hole, you’re already in pain, so the second one isn’t that bad. Make sure your piercer gives you a bar slightly longer than your ear to allow for swelling – otherwise you’ll get some wierd “elfin” shape. It hurts like a bitch and it’s red for A LONG TIME, but it’s totally worth it! I love it!!
YAYYY !

I DID IT ! My mom finally let me, and I got my industrial done yesterday. It wasn’t half as bad as I was expecting, but, yes, it does hurt. It stung for about two hours yesterday, but now it only hurts after I clean it and when it gets bumped. YAYYY I’M SO HAPPY!
So ready!

I recently saw an industrial up close for the first time and I instantly fell in love. I wasn’t sure what to call it but after searching for a while I found several sites dedicated to this beautiful body mod. I’m trying to get up the nerve to actually get it done. I don’t have a very high pain tolerance but I really think that it will be worth it.

Unfortunately I’m giving up on this one. My body doesn’t react well to cartilage piercings…it’s been a challenge with my tragus. I think my next piercing will be to get my second holes on my earlobes :)

I’ve always liked the way that they look and even though I’m sure it will hurt like a mother, I’m ready! I’m going to put it on hold though, as something to look forward to because I want to wait till my other piercings have completely healed first.
