Is there a limit to how many piercings you can get at once?

Whether you’re getting one or many, it’s a good idea to have a think about where you want your piercings on your ear. If you want the option to add more later, spacing and position are really important. Note: Most places will only recommend you do a maximum of 2 – 3 piercings in one session.

Can you get second and third piercings at the same time?

It all depends on what your pain tolerance is. I got my second and third lobe holes done at the same time, and don’t really remember much of the pain. I know they were sore for a while, and I had to clean them religiously, but other than that they were fine. I have a tendency to get piercings in clumps.

Can I get 4 piercings at once?

Most reputable piercers won’t do more than 3 or 4 piercings in one sitting. If they’ve pierced you before and know your pain tolerance, they might be willing to do a few more, but it can be hard on your body, and you don’t want to push your limits.

Can you get 3 cartilage piercings at once?

I limit cartilage piercings to a maximum of three at a time. Cartilage piercings take the longest to heal, 6–9 months if not longer and having three at once can extend that heal time.

Do second ear piercings hurt?

While all piercings are painful, exactly how much pain you’ll be in is up to your pain tolerance, which is completely subjective. Plus, if you are getting the piercings at the same time, it’s common for the second piercing to hurt a bit more than the first, as your body is still attempting to recover.

Can I get two earlobe piercings at once?

If you know that you want multiple piercings, it is possible – even preferable – to get more than one piercing on your earlobe or outer cartilage in a single sitting. The only factor that will determine how many piercings you can get at one time is the space available on your ear.

Does fourth lobe piercing hurt?

A high-lobe piercing should hurt “no more than any other piercing when performed by a professional,” Tash explains. “Maybe there’s a little discomfort, but it’s soon forgotten when you’ve seen the end result.” Because it’s in almost the same place as a traditional lobe piercing, it should feel about the same.

How many piercings can you get in one sitting?

Most reputable piercers won’t do more than 3 or 4 piercings in one sitting. If they’ve pierced you before and know your pain tolerance, they might be willing to do a few more, but it can be hard on your body, and you don’t want to push your limits.

What happens if you get too many piercings?

Since piercings have become so popular, there’s really no limit to the piercings that you can get. However, when you poke a needle through your body multiple times, there will be some consequences. Besides standard wound healing—swelling, red skin, discomfort—your body will react if you get too many piercings done at once.

Can I have multiple piercings cleansed per day?

However, conducting multiple cleanses per day will take time, so you must be prepared to give every piercing the attention it needs. If you get multiple piercings done near each other, keep in mind that swelling will likely be substantial. This will lead to more discomfort in the early days of healing.

Can a helix piercing be done on both ears at once?

For instance, if you’re planning on getting a line of helix piercings on both ears, your piercer will probably only do one ear at a time. This is to ease the healing process; if you get both ears done at once, you won’t be able to lay your head on either side, making sleep difficult.
