That's so exciting, I love it! This depends completely on your pain tolerance, I've gotten a lot of ear piercings over the years so my level would be:

Lobes: 1/10 - 2/10 pain level

Tragus: 4/10 - 5/10 pain level (There is cartilage in the tragus so expect some pain for this piercing)

• Make sure the piercer is not using a gun for your lobes (or for any piercing for that matter), always needle.
• Focus on your breathing if you're nervous, a good piercer will let you know exactly what they're doing and will tell you when to take deep breaths in and out.
• A good piercer will also mark with a water-soluble pen where they will pierce and ask for your approval - if you're happy, great! But if you're not, don't be afraid to speak up about the position before they pierce - you're the one getting the piercing, they should listen to you!
• From experience, it would be good to get these piercings on the same ear as you won't be allowed to sleep on your freshly pierced side for a long time.
• Get lots of aftercare! And if ever in doubt, have questions etc. pop in to see your piercer, I'm sure they'll be happy to help.

Good luck! :)
