Yes it does a bit when you're making them, 'cos basically what you're doing is literally stretching them, which means you have to keep putting stuff in that's a little bit too big for the hole it's going into, fnarr fnarr, but if you're sensible and aren't expecting to go from 1mm to 10mm in a week (it should take about a month a millimetre if you're being sensible about it) then it is only slightly uncomfortable and red for the first week of each month, and after that it's just normal upkeep as you wait a bit for the stretched skin to thicken.
Oh, and if you remove them they will just eventually disappear again, it's not permanent unless you cause scarring, again by rushing things.

If you do rush it and it tears then you really have to start A-A-ALL over again, well, unless you like having something that looks like a second bumhole permanently in your ear forever, so patience is a virtue.

But once it's done, nope, no pain at all.

BTW, watched some 'normal spods do the army thing' reality TV prog once and they decided they must remove a blokes cock piercing, and they got the army doctor to do it and made a huge deal about it using all sorts of medical implements to prise it open, and afterwards the sergeant was telling him how proud he was of how well he fared through the midst of what must have been unbearable pain.
I have a cock piercing, it barely hurt to do (they numb it first) and now I can take it out and put it back in anytime I like without the need of a doctor or any special implements exactly the same as any other piercing, so I was crying with laughter at the incredulous look on the poor would-be soldiers face at the fuss they was making about it, Hahaha!
