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.
