Does getting the upper ear pierced hurt?

In two weeks I'm getting my ears pierced above my standars ear piercings and I have just realised I have enough money to get my upper ear pierced which I have wanted for about 8 years now however my mum has never agreed. She has now, and I'm so excited but I have a low pain tolerance not very low but low enough, you know? Well I would just lie to know if it hurts a lot? Thanks very much for all answers. :)

No actually it doesn't hurt that much, I got my upper ear pierced last summer and so did my second pierce from below. The lower part hurt more than the upper, that is it didn't hurt at all! You'll just feel like a small pinch in the ear, it wouldnt even hurt. just be distracted and you won't even notice..Good Luck:)
