For those who don't know, the tragus is that small cartilage that is in front of the auditory canal. And getting a piercing in that region is similar to any other place on the ear.

Because this part of the ear is more robust, it gives the impression that it hurts a lot. AND there is some pain, of course, but not so much, because the tragus does not have many nerve endings.

Body piercers say that the more painful it is during the piercing, but it's just a little pain!

Good, It all depends on your pain tolerance.. This varies from person to person in any region of the body.

It may also be that you continue to feel instability in the region during the first few days, but this will pass over time.

Do you want to know how tragus perforation occurs? Look at this video, which also shows that the girl did not feel much pain! 🙂

So that it doesn't hurt too much and there are no complications, it's also important to take care of it properly.

Attention:
NEVER try to pierce the tragus by yourself. Always look for a qualified professional who uses sterilized materials and takes all hygiene precautions 😉

Price

You've already seen that pain is not something that can stop you from getting a tragus piercing and you took courage, right?

Now you ask yourself: how much will I pay for piercing + piercing?

Well, the price will depend a lot on the region where you live and the chosen studio. Price can range from $20,00 to $100.

The most well-known studios usually raise the price, but also, most of the time, offer greater security for your health. But try not to get hung up on the fact that you have to go to the most expensive studio. It's not that!

If you know any studios, go visit them, see which hygiene conditions and what qualifications and other jobs are performed by local body piercers.

Then, if the studio is small and not very well known yet, but presents all the positive points regarding the environment and the specialist, no problem getting your piercing there.

In some places, they may not offer the jewelry along with the piercing. So you will have to take it with you and, therefore, the most recommended piercings for those who are going to pierce them are those of surgical steel, which pose no risk of allergy.

Care

WOW! Did you pluck up the courage and go to a qualified studio to get your tragus pierced?

Now what you need to know is about the care you should have!

This step is very important so that the hole in the tragus lasts and does not become inflamed or infected. So pay attention to some tips:

1. During the healing process of the tragus it is recommended clean the place regularly, at least twice a day. For this you will use a homemade solution made with water and salt, or bought at the pharmacy – saline solution. Use a clean cotton or cotton swab to clean. It might be a little annoying, but that will help reduce pain and prevent infections.

2. Never use alcohol or other products containing this substance to clean the tragus. Because it has a drying effect on the region.

4. Your body piercer will definitely make this recommendation, but it's always good to remember: never remove the jewelry before healing is complete.

5. As we mentioned above, do not try to do any piercing at home, either by yourself or with a friend. The environment that is not suitable for this can offer risks of contamination in the pierced region.

6. In addition, drilling yourself or someone you know with no experience, you can make the hole crooked, and this is one of the worst things for someone who pierces their ears!

7. please note that the region is very sensitive and swells a lot in the first few days. So you have to be careful when moving or pulling your hair back so you don't hurt. It's recommended to keep your hair tied up so you don't run the risk of tangling!

8. It's common to hurt and swell like this in the first week. If these symptoms persist for much longer with intensity, it's better to see a doctor who will know how to guide you.

It is good to know that infections and inflammations in the hole where the piercing is placed can happen due to contamination in the piercing with the materials used, poor care (dirty hands, etc.) and also the acceptance of your body!

That's right, it could be that your resistance is low the week you chose to get a tragus piercing… Then the body will already be susceptible to an infection, and the ear piercing will be the perfect place.

Symptoms

Swelling
Continuous pain (for more than a week)
Redness
pus balls
Green or yellow malodorous liquid

It is common to bleed in the first few hours after placement. But if it happens days later, it could also mean an infection.
