Should I Get Both Done @ Same Time or Seperate? - March 28th 2011, 12:33 AM

I'm kinda toying with the idea of getting an industrial piercing on both ears and I'm not sure if I should get them both done @ the same time or one @ a time so, what do you think?


Everthing I see seems to be a lie. And everything you see in me you think is the truth. But, really all you see is what I'm masking the real me with. You never see me cry. Because I'll never let you. And you'll never see me die because I feel like I already have in a way.

While I don't have one, everyone I have talked to who has one says that getting an industrial is very very painful. I would give yourself some time to recuperate after the first.

I agree with what was said above. I hear that it is painful as well. There is no harm in waiting to get the other one done. Plus, the benefit of getting one done at a time is you can focus on keeping one clean at a time. Plus, for sleeping, I doubt you are going to want to sleep on the ear that just got done, so getting them both done, you'd be in pain either way.

Definitely get them done separately, especially if you'd like to sleep comfortably. They DO hurt so bad, but they're so awesome when they heal. They take awhile to heal, like anywhere between 2-12 months.

I don't have an industrial but I have a helix piercing and it was impossible to sleep on while it was healing. Because of this I would say get 1 at a time now.

Definitely one at a time. While one side is hurting like hell, you need the other side to sleep on.

Yes 1 at a time definatly! I have an industrial in my left ear and it was impossible to sleep on for about a month, i've had it since december and it still is tender sometimes and sometimes still hurts to sleep on, so getting both done would be extremely uncomfortable and a pain in the ass to be honest, i'd definately stick to 1 at a time.

I know that I am one of the few that said at the same time, but here is my thought. If it is going to be painful and cause you sleep disruption already, then do it at the same time, and it is done and over with

One at a time because they are painful to sleep on.
