Helix Piercing Help Please?

So, here's the thing. I want to get my helix pierced later, but right now I'm chickening out. Please PLEASE tell me if it hurts. I'm getting it done with a gun, I know that's unsafe, I know. In Singapore almost all jewellery shops and tattoo parlours pierce with a gun. Please spare me the lecture of it being shattered and such. So, compared to a love piercing (I have 4) how badly does it hurt?
