Cheek piercing pain, what to expect
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but cheek piercings tend to be less painful than those in cartilage-heavy areas like the ear or nose. That said, you’ll likely experience some swelling and might even taste a bit of blood initially. These side effects should subside as the piercing heals.
Proper care is essential for healing a cheek piercing. To help the piercing wound heal faster, you should soak the area in a saltwater solution twice a day. Be gentle and avoid touching the piercing unnecessarily to prevent irritation.
