Helix piercing or tragus piercing?

i want to get either a helix piercing or a tragus piercing, but i don't know which one to get. i definitely do not want both piercings, so i need to decide on which one. i've heard that the tragus piercing really hurts but i've looked on here and people have said it doesn't? does it hurt? also i found out on here that helix piercings (the piercing at the top of your ear) does hurt. can someone please answer all the questions. this may help me decide a little. thanks! xoxo

i just got my helix done and i'm 13. i got mine done with a needle, the correct way. i hope you are too! it's safer, more sterile, and less painful!! honestly, the actual piercing doesn't hurt at all. you hear a funny squish noise that make you want to laugh believe it or not! then you feel a dull, numb pain, but like i said, the pain is muted to the point where it's like you feel it slightly in the distance. it's hard to explain, but it doesn't hurt. then, when you go to clean it later, it hurts. i'm not gonna lie. BUT its nothing that would keep you from getting it done. besides, it only for the first 5 day. it helped me to close my eyes, take deep breathes, and have my mom clean it. it calmed me down. i got it i done a month ago and i'm going to change it in a week. it's almost healed already because i got it done with a needle. also, even if you want a stud like i did get a hoop. i never planned on wearing a hoop but i got it and i ended up liking it. if you get it pierced with a stud it causes a hoop on the back of your ear that will make your piercing hurt forever. that's why you hear people talk about the bumps on their cartilage piercings. anyway, my step mother has a tragus piercing and said it hurts more than any other part of your ear and belly button. hope this helps!
