Im almost 14, and I really want an Industrial Piercing..really badly!! Ive wanted one for ages. Ive found a good shop, with reasonable prices etc..but I really need to know if It'll hurt a lot? Yeah I expect pain, I've had both ears pierced three times, and havent had problems with them at all. I was just wondering if its likely I'll get an infection or if it'll totally rip my ear apart. Please give me your advice x.

Also some places do have rules where your not allowed some piercings untill you are 16 and 18. You need to make sure your school is ok with it too.
Plus, any place willing to pierce you at 14 obviously doesn't give two shits about legalities, so why the hell should they care about hygiene?
You should wait until you're 16, but you probably won't, so in that case here's hoping you don't get hepatitis.
I know a lot of people who've had industrials, and know that they can be difficult to get on with - the pressure of the barbell on the 2 piercings. As with most cartilage piercing, pain is involved, and they're also not quick healers. A cartilage piercing can take upto a year to heal fully.
Unfortunately, most reputable piercing places will only pierce over the age of 16 with parental consent, so it's better to wait until you're old enough.

When stretching, you stretch your piercing approx 1mm every 6-8 weeks. It's a long and time consuming process and should never be rushed.

Like flesh tunnels, or whatever they're called. Absolutely rank.
Blackline and Diamante

No offence, but I still think it looks awful. Putting diamantes on it doesn't make it look any better.
