Has anyone had their tragus pierced?

I'm getting my tragus pierced in two weeks. anyone who has gotten it done, any comments on your experience. what type of jewelry did you get? thx

My sister got it done and loved it. Unfortunately, her ear ended up healing over the stud itself so she had to get it surgically removed, so be sure to rotate it three times a day to make sure that doesn't happen to you. It looks really good though, so best of luck.

is that the middle thingy in your ear?

yupp

I have and I love it! I found a wonderful way to get through the healing quickly and comfortably is to soak a cotton ball in warmed saline (1/4 tsp sea salt to 3/4 cup water) and let it it sit over the tragus, against the piercing, 3x a day. Not only is saline perfectly balanced and will help the healing but the warmth helps keep the soreness down and feels good.

I wear a small diamond 16g labret stud in mine. It looks very dainty. Instead of punking out with peircings you can still look preppy if you like!

Good Luck, I recommend it!

I had mine done 4 days ago. It was pretty painful haha.
Be sure to get a donut-shaped pillow, or fold up a towel that way when you sleep. It takes pressure off the tragus.

I still have SOME bleeding, usually just when I wake up theres a little dried blood around one of them.

I wear a curved labret, I recommend getting that one in instead of closed-hoop; I don't recommend the closed-hoop because it can lean to one side and cause your hole to be that way also.

Don't clean it TOO often, and ALWAYS wash your hands before touching it.

it's real cute, and I wish you good luck!

I had mine pierced 5 months ago.I think it all depends where you go because mine didnt hurt at all. when he put the needle through, I could feel the pressure of it, but there was absolutly noo pain. just make sure to clean it every day with the cleaner they give you, and it wont get infected. Mine never did once and it hasnt ever hurt since I got it done either. but make sure to turn it everyday.
