Does a sternum piercing hurt?
Yes, all piercings come with some discomfort, and a sternum piercing is no exception. The level of pain varies from person to person, but it’s generally agreed that some piercings hurt more than others.
Since the sternum is located near the breastbone, many people find this area more sensitive than other surface piercings. The skin here is usually thinner, which can make the piercing process more challenging. Clamps are often used to hold the skin in place, and this typically feels like pressure rather than pain.
