It usually depends on how well you can tolerate pain. For instance, I can tolerate it very well but getting your ears pierced is like getting a shot but with it not hurting afterwards. You will feel a slight poke in your earlobes and then the pain will be gone although your ears will be red and pulsey for a while, it does not hurt. I recommend getting both ears done at once to reduce pain but trust me, there is nothing to worry about.
It is true that our tolerance for pain does affect it, but another thing that effects it is how thick your earlobe is! If it is pretty thin than it won't hurt as much as thick ones, but it still does not hurt to much either way.

I just got my ears pierced tonight(well my second piercings) and it hurts for exactly 2 seconds. I was sooo worried for it but when I got there it was AOK. The thing that scared me was the gloves and the peroxide but 3 mns after both were done, I felt like nothing was there.... If you get the chance.... then get your ears pierced
I have a low pain tolerance.
I just got my ears pierced today, and I am 12. I'll tell you what it's like... to tell the truth, it does at one point hurt. But it only lasts like a millisecond, just a bit more than a shot. Just a little pinch. Then, your ears feel heavy and hot. About 5 minutes after, the heaviness and hotness wears away and they just sting a bit. Not like a painful 'OUCH!' sting, but just a little annoying stinging that lasts for about 30 minutes. The worst part is taking your shirt on and off for the first 12 hours when the hole is a bit sore. Make sure you don't catch your ears on the shirt, or brush it accidentally with your hand, because that will make it work.It's best to have both ears done at the same time, it'll be over quicker. If you do one at a time, you may not have the courage to pierce the other ear after you do one!
