Is an industrial piercing painful

It's all dependent on how well you handle pain. All piercings hurt, you're shoving a steel rod through a part of your body. If you're good with pain it won't hurt at all. If you're bad with pain it will feel like fire. The pain is not a sting or a pain that will make you flinch or jump, it is a progressive aching feeling so you can overcome it, from my experience i would compare it to the feeling of dropping something on your toe or getting flicked on the ear really hard in cold weather, But if you want an Industrial Piercing, the pain is certainly a lot less than you will expect it to be. Anticipation (Waiting before it gets done) Hurts the most.
