How to get my Tragus pierced
It made me
satisfied
 "Something I don't regret doing at all! I love it :)"
How I did it: Well, you'll first need guts. I'll admit, I was nervous on the way and walking into the piercing shop. I just breathed, calmed myself. Your piercer shouldn't mind answering all your questions, because they want to make sure you get the best piercing experience with confidence. I've wanted this piercing done for well over a year now.. and I finally got to 3 days ago. I brought my boyfriend, so it could be a bit more meaningful (haha), especially since it was my first cartilage piercing. I just filled out a form and they photocopied my license. The piercing itself was literally a couple of seconds. I heard the "crunch" sound everyone's talking about, and I definitely felt the needle go in. But it wasn't the most excruciating pain, it's all bearable. I bled a bit, but as my piercer said, "that's what happens when you make holes in your body!" Soreness proceeded after the piercing, but it's been clean and looks great anyhow.
Lessons & tips: Clean, clean, clean. And DON'T touch/play with it. If you're busy with work, school and you're booked all the time, and can't fit in at least 10 minutes total in a day to clean, then you shouldn't get this done. Use dial antibacterial soap (I use the foam one for easier clean), and have lots of Q-tips handy. I personally go through about 4 Q-tips each time I clean. Also, I put about a drop or two of tea tree oil just in case I get a keloid.. And clean gently. Don't smother it all over the piercing, since it's sensitive, it could cause bleeding if done roughly. Also, sea salt soaking should be done at least once a day. This is where you take a little bit of sea salt (bought at your local grocery store), and put enough warm water.. after the salt's dissolved, taste it, and make sure it's not any saltier than a potato chip. If it's too salty, then it could cause pain and burning sensations when you put it against your piercing. Make sure you do this in a disposable or a super clean cup. Take a cotton ball, soak it, and place against the piercing. keep it there for at least 5 minutes. You basically need to get OCD about keeping a tragus piercing clean. Resources: I bought the sea salt for 99 cents over at the Fresh Market. I went to The Body Shop and got this small, green glass bottle of Tea Tree Oil (it has this minty fragrance), and I use Dial Antibacterial Foam Soap. Tons of Q-Tips. My piercer recommended to buy H2Ocean (it's this cleaning solution) but i haven't bought it yet. We'll see if I have any problems.. and I haven't had any problems thus far! |

How I did it: I simply walked in to the piercing parlour, booked an appointment and got it done that day :) Cringed slightly when the needle went through, but apart from that, all went absolutely perfect! Read how I did it…
How I did it: well i didn't end up getting my tragus pierced, instead i got my helix pierced. im glad i did that instead, because i also ended up getting my nosed pierced, and i think the helix and nose look better together. but my sister got her tragus pierced and it looks really good, and she said it didn't hurt, and it healed really quickly. so if you wanna do it dont be scared. just remember to keep it clean and salt water it as much as possible. t… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I saved up all my tips as a take out girl at my job. I actually planned on getting three piercings at the same time (which I did) so I saved up to $120.00 (it ended up being $150.00 for everything including aftercare supplies). But, right now I'm only going to talk about the tragus. The tragus was the first of the three that I got done. I was nervous and the piercer had me lay done on the table. After she marked the spot and everything sh… Read how I did it…

How I did it: well, lets see...i've wanted this piercing for about five years now but when i first went to go get it done - five years ago - i passed out! (i am horrible with needles and blood and intense conversations about them) so, the other day, i was waiting for my friend to finish with getting her tattoo and i was kind of bored and i remembered seeing a piercing shop right next door so i honestly thought about it for about 5 minutes, walked over,… Read how I did it…

I’ll go and do it this weekend! I’ve been meaning to get it done for months, but I find the price for this pretty piercing quite daunting. And I’m slightly worried that it will get infected after :(

I’ve made up my mind to just stop being a scaredy cat, get off my butt and get my tragus pierced. I’ve wanted this piercing for over a year now, and I just hate wanting something and not having the guts to do it. After I got my belly button pierced, I was so traumatized with all the pain that I didn’t want another needle in my body like EVER. Even though I still loved the way tragus piercings looked, I just thought: no more piercings. Now I think this is ridiculous. Despite all the pain, was there in the 6-month-long lifetime of my belly button piercing a single second when I regretted getting it done? Hell NO! So it’ll be just the same with my tragus. Maybe I’ll go through a lot of pain, but at the end it’ll be worth it. I haven’t caught the piercing bug though, apart from the tragus there are no other piercings that actually interest me. So I think I’ll stick with all I have (those 2, plus my 4 earlobes). OMG I can’t wait! I’ll look soooo pretty!

I’m thinking about doing it with my next paycheck. That would be next Friday. I still need to find out how much it is for everything.

I have over 30 piercings in my body and my ears are my pride and joy. The ear is such an artistic little thing. You can customize your ears in so many ways and it’s so much fun to do. I have both of my Trags pierced.
NorthernSkye please please please universe! Weekend be great!
but for some reason I am not sure if I want my tragus peirced anymore. I was dying to have it done for solong and now when I think about it I am kinda indifferent about getting around to it. I dunno.. wil have to think if I want to push ahead with this one or take it off my list and give another goal a chance.
jccharette02 is at work wishing for a simpler way
I got mine pierced, it didn’t hurt but the sound of the needle going through the cartilige is something to be desired. Overall it wasn’t worth it because I’ve taken it out and I don’t even know if it’s still open.
PandaLoverSyd is thinking.
I SHOULD be getting it done for my birthday, in less than a month. [:
I really want this part of my ear pierced. I think it’s different, yet simple.

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it. It was so worth doing. It hurt some, but it wasn’t that bad and it was definitely worth the pain.
I didn’t hear the “crunch” that people talk about… It was way cheaper than I thought it would be—$40 including tip out here in Kansas City.
