The different areas of the ear have a different amount of vascularity for example the cartilage has less blood flow than the lobe, and that can contribute to how long it takes to heal. That piercing folds easily with the ear and does not experience torque from sleeping on the jewelry that a helix piercing can. Some of the inner ear piercings can take longer on the above scale to execute, like the daith, but that does not make it a painful experience. The client had exaggerated their expectation of pain based on memories of a past experience. After, they said it “barely hurt” and were thrilled and proud of themselves. I have experienced this many times in the room: nervous clients really want a tragus or upper ear piercing but worry about the pain.
