I have been wanting to get my cheeks pierced for a while now , but i was just wondering how bad it was. Pain and healing both,will it leae a very bad scare? Also as far as pain when getting the piercing, i have my nipps pierced anyone with both cheeks and nipps please let me know which was worst thatnk you.

Pain differs for every person. I'd imagine it would be formidable considering the amount of muscle tissue the needle must pass through.

In terms of scarring, most people with cheek piercings develop permanent dimples where the muscle has been irreparably damaged.

Which, seems to me, is one of the reason people get cheek piercings, right?  Because they create dimples? (and because the ball/gem is pretty. hehe)

 Yes i knew about the look of dimples that can occur and find them cute and yes the ball is super cute.I like piercings on the face, i have snakebites a eyebrow, nostral, and septum. I was mainly worried about any disscolerment from them and how bad was the pain, allthough i know its differnt for each person. Thanks. 

If you decide to take them out, let the 'hole' heal up, then try Mederma.  I used it on scars on my face (from stitches) before, and it really works!!  :-D

 i found the initial piercing was not that bad it was the healing process that was apian in the butt to me,the swelling and often chomping on the jewelery when eating is apain but after the swelling went down i admired the piercings and was well chuffed.

 I read somewhere that saliva ducts run all through your cheeks, so piercing them runs the risk of leakage. Just saying...

Thanks tin i had heard that they are a pain to heal and take a while.Heathdawg i believe that they do leak at first and that is kind of gross allso i think the piercer ereally has to know what he is doing to get them in the right place and not hit the ducts.

It's really just luck of the draw.

 I personally had a wonderful experience healing my cheek piercings...I did SSS once/twice a day, never had too much of a problem with leakage, and getting my rook pierced hurt alot more, for me. I've actually taken them out once and gotten them repierced and had just as much of a breeze healing the second time. 

Thanks r4ch3lx i hope i have a easy time like you. I will be sure to do sss twice a day and i will cross my fingers are far as the ducts.

 good luck with the cheek piercings and i would'nt worrie  as a good piercer will know what s/he is doing :)
