Probably not. Mine was too sore to sleep on for about 2-3 days after. Its a good idea to put a bandaid over the area at night so that if you do hit it or roll over onto it, the padding will protect it. That area doesnt have any protection so sleeping on it will be pretty uncomfortable. Just get it done on the ear that you dont sleep on if you're worried about it :)
Tragus piercing are done by professional body piercers and are never ever to be done with a piercing gun due to the risk of misfires and deep tissue damage.
All piercings have a chance to reject, but the tragus piercing is not likely to reject if done properly.
the tragus piercing is done on cartilage and if you know you form keloids you should avoid cartilage piercings because they have a high chance of forming keloids
Mine was done with a 16g needle (:
Sounds like it was done with a piercing gun, if it was done by a professional body piercer your tragus would feel just fine after three months. If it was done by a gun it's too deep take it out.
You can put any earrings in your tragus piercing as long as they are the proper gauge.
Tragus piercing is not illegal however it is a piercing that can not and should not be done with a piercing gun. As with all body piercing this should be left for a professional body piercer to handle in a licensed and inspected facility. The tragus is a technically challenging piercing that must be done in a controlled manner, serious permanent injury can be done if this piercing is attempted by individuals who have no training or knowledge of human anatomy. Piercing guns are restricted to use on the ear lobes only under Health Canada Guidelines for infection and disease control, they were never designed nor intended to be used on ear cartilage. This piercing is to be done by a Professional Body Piercer only.
A Tragus piercing is a technically challenging piercing that can't be done without knowledge of the structures of the ear and cartilage. Permanent ear and hearing damage can be done when attempted by novices. Listen use common sense and leave piercing to the hands of professional body piercers who will use aseptic methods and materials to provide the piercing in a safe manner. This is not a piercing gun piercing.
Generally it's 10mm by 18g and the piercing is done with a 16g needle.
No, there are no nerve endings in the tragus. It therefore doesn't hurt when you pierce it! I had mine done 2 days ago! :) Hope this helps!
The Tragus is a little prominent flap of skin and cartilage in front of the ear canal, this piercing is done by professional body piercers and should never be done by a piercing gun. To do so can lead to serious personal injury to the tissue and hearing.The tragus is the small external lobe of flesh of the ear closest to the skull. It is located in front of the concha. This lobe is conventionally pierced with a captive bead ring. The tragus has no nerve endings but some piercers experience pain.
Not really, it hurts offcurse, but if it is done by a professional it is quite painless. Good luck!
