It is a dumb question though
"Oh my god, you've had a needle stuck through part of your flesh and then stretched the open wound! Did it hurt?"

Why? Most people wouldn't do something that would actually hurt.
It's not terribly sensible after all. And lots of people have never had piercings and therefore have no frame of reference.

So, seeing something unusual and wondering whether or not you are the sort of person who would readily inflict pain on yourself, they ask the question, because for all they know, it might not actually hurt which is why you've been so happy to have it done.

I see your point
But to the best of my knowledge most people without piercings don't have them because either a) they have no interest, in which case why are they even asking, or b) are scared of needles and the associated ouchy, in which case they've no need to ask
