What You Should Know Before You Get Your Cheeks Pierced

Are cheek piercings painful? They can be. It ultimately depends on your tolerance for pain. If you've had a cartilage part of your body pierced, you'll likely find a cheek piercing to be less painful, since cheeks lack cartilage, as Medical News Today explains.

Blue Banana provides more specific details on the pain level. The clothing and accessories store ranked 16 body piercings from least painful to most painful, based on research and customer feedback. They ranked cheek piercing, which typically involves a dermal anchor, the ninth least painful out of 16. That means you might find that it hurts significantly more than an ear lobe piercing, but not nearly as much as a genital piercing.

After enduring the discomfort of the piercing comes the cost. CostHelper claims a cheek piercing will set you back $20 to $55, but Healthline lists the range at $40 to $100. Just as with many other service providers, prices vary by location and skill level or experience of the provider.
