If the tragus is too small then healing and rejection could be problems. Only a professional body piercer can make that call by looking at your tragus. Do not pierce this with a piercing gun, there are a great deal of nerves and vessels in this area of the ear and a piercing stud can and will do serious damage that can not be repaired. Piercing guns are for ear lobes only.
most likely the tragus piercing. but that's still on the ear.
The framework of the outer ear is formed by three main structures: the helix, the antihelix, and the tragus. The helix is the curved rim that surrounds the ear, the antihelix is the ridge located inside the helix, and the tragus is the small cartilaginous projection in front of the ear canal.
