I've been considering for a while about this, but I have very low pain tolerance so I've been putting it off. I was wondering how it compared to other piercings, e.g. better or worse than helix/ tragus, etc. Just a simple comparison. I understand not everyone feels pain as much as others, but just a general idea on pain from 0-10 perhaps? And how sore is it afterwards compared to other piercings, or just about similar?

Also, I'm guessing it's pierced with a curved barbell, or does it not matter so much in this case? I guess I could ask the piercer this, so if no-one knows immediately, not to worry.

And don't worry, I fully understand the proper aftercare, etc etc.

Thank you very much in advance to any decent answers.
