Here's What To Pierce If You Don't Like Pain

If you don't handle pain well, certain piercings will be better for you than others. According to Refinery29, there are also a few piercing types you want to avoid altogether if you have a low pain tolerance. These include your cartilage, but they also include your nipples and your genitals. The nipples and genitals are both incredibly sensitive areas, and while piercing them has become increasingly common, you may want to save those for people who can handle the pain a little better.

Getting both nipples pierced at the same time is even more of a recipe for disaster. Refinery29 explains that oftentimes "people notice their tolerance lower by the second round because their bodies are already well-aware of being in pain from the previous puncture." Because of this, the second nipple will hurt far worse than the first one. Pain is relative and so are piercings, so this may not be the case with you, but typically, the second will hurt worse. This logic applies to getting any two piercings at the same time, regardless of if they're nipples or not.
