I've heard industrial is painful, in having the piercing done and the healing because hairbrushes combs etc can catch on it really easy.

An industrial angles through the top curve of cartilage on the ear (for those who don't know) and if done wrong can warp / deform the cartilage.

I imagine tongue piercings would be most painful though, because I think it might be the only one which is actually numbed to be done, but I'm not sure about genital or nipple piercings.

Surface look potentially painful as well - since they are between the flesh and skin but again Idk anyone personally who has one, just seen photos.

Nipple piercings aren't painful for everyone, some people barely feel them it's probably more painful if your nipples are sensitive, mine aren't, they probably wouldn't be too bad.

There's some extreme piercings, deep ones that are pretty painful but I don't know which would be the MOST, depends on the experience of the piercer and the person themselves!

I do hear that cartilage piercings are pretty painful, but I doubt they're the worst. I've consistently heard that targus piercings are awful, that's probably the worst of the common ones.

I have an industrial and it wasn't too bad. I think it depends a lot on the experience of the piercer and the piercee's perception of pain.

I have several piercings and my worst one by far was my vertical clitoral hood, but that's because mine was pretty thick. It healed up like a dream, though, and it's one of my favorite piercings.

I have heard that a mans penis is the most painful piercing to get. I have my vertical clit hood pierced and if anything it was the prepping that hurt the worst..and I agree with living doll being a favorite piercing.

Would have to be the clit. that just makes me shiver to even think about it
