What is the procedure for a tragus piercing?
The procedure for a tragus piercing is first to clean the spot. After that, a clamp is used to hold the tragus steady. There is a hole in the center of the clamp. A sterilized needle is pushed through the clamp's hole. The needle is hollow so as you run the needle through, you chase behind it with the jewelry.
What is the difference between having a tragus piercing done with a straight needle and having it done with a curved one?
I've never heard of anyone using a curved needle for any kind of piercing. But, a straight needle would be much easier for a tragus. A lot of force has to be used to pierce the tragus and that would be difficult with a curved needle. Also, I could imagine that the curved needle would hit the cartilage/ear behind your tragus after it was pierced. Just get it done with a straight one.

Is it weird for a 14 year old to get a tragus piercing or a cartilage piercing and gun or needle?
Never get any piercing with a gun-style piercing machine no matter what. Gun-style piercing machines cause trauma, unnecessary damage, and scar tissue around the piercing that would not happen when proper equipment (a bevel-tip hollow piercing needle) is used.

Is the tragus pierceing illegal in Ontairo?
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.

Is a 22 gauge smaller than a 23 gauge needle?
Gauge is the term that indicates the diameter of the needle. Most commonly the needles that are used for medical purposed range from 7 Gauge to 33 Gauge, according to the Stubs scale. 7 Gauge needle will have the largest diameter while as the number increase, the diameter decreases. Therefore the 33 Gauge needle has the smallest diameter. So a 26 Gauge needle will have a smaller diameter than that of the 18 Gauge needle.
