You can get multiple piercings at once, but you have to be able to properly care for them. Even though there's really no limit, many piercers recommend no more than four piercings at one time. You can also stagger your piercing sessions weeks apart to make the process easier.

It is not uncommon to have multiple piercings performed on the same day. We recommend not getting more than four piercings in one session, especially if you're getting them on the same ear.
Of all the body sites commonly pierced, the navel is the most likely to become infected because of its shape. Infections can often be treated with good skin hygiene and antibiotic medications. With this type of infection, jewelry generally does not have to be taken out.
There's no "limit" necessarily as to how many piercings you can get at once, but most reputable piercing professionals will probably keep you around three (3) or four (4). This, of course, depends on size, location, and your personal pain tolerance, but we'll dive into that a bit more later.

It can be, yes. But it really depends on your pain threshold and how well you handle pain in general. Some people feel more pain than others when they get a piercing. Getting multiple piercings done at once can also be more uncomfortable than getting just one.

Piercing guns can cause significant tissue damage.

The septum piercing (a.k.a. a piercing through the soft tissue in between your nostrils) is one of the fastest-healing and lowest-irritation piercing zones. Unlike the nostril, the septum is exposed to fewer bacteria and is known to be a quick healer.
ROOK. Rook piercings are located in the cartilage at the uppermost part of the inner ear. The location does go through a thick bit of cartilage so it can be more painful and harder to heal than many other spots on the ear.
Although it would seem otherwise, piercing thinner cartilage tends to hurt more than piercing thicker cartilage. Therefore, the flat piercing is on the higher end of the pain scale compared to other piercings. If you have a low pain tolerance, it doesn't bar you from getting this piercing.

Goode suggests waiting until at least age 10 for a second earlobe piercing; 13 for a cartilage piercing; age 14 for nostrils, lips and navels; age 15 for a tragus; and 17 or 18 for an industrial piercing.

Surface piercings are the most common types of piercing to be rejected by the body. Surface piercings travel along an area of skin, rather than going directly through a body part. The jewelry punctures only a small amount of the skin's surface. Examples of surface piercings include eyebrows, neck, hip, and wrist.
Daith piercings are one of the most fun piercings to style! Located on the smallest fold of the cartilage in your ear, where the outer ridge of your ear meets your inner ear above the ear canal, this is a unique piercing that can handle a wow-worthy statement piece.
