well my tattoo guy said that his facial ones hurt! But where I got mine (upper leg/thigh in front) did not hurt bad at all!! Go for it! I dont have an upper ear piercing, but I remember my regular piercings were not all that fun either! I think the tattoo hurt less than the piercings, but it lasts longer. It does kind of feel like a burning sensation. But you get used to it and are able to anticipate it and block it out kind of!
