    Default Tragus piercing

    I'm getting my tragus pierced next week and I just wanted to know how bad it hurt. I have 5 holes in my ears and my belly button pierced already and a relatively high pain tolerance. Does the tragus hurt more than the belly button? If anyone can compare the pain of the piercing to something, that would be awesome., please share. Thanks!


    Oh and another thing. My tragus is a little bent, not too much though. Will this affect the appearance of the piercing?

    it doesnt hurt hardly at all
    it makes a weird almost popping noise though

    i would compare it to piercings at the top of your ears in the cartilage.
    a bit sore but not bad at all

    okay so it's not that bad? Does it bleed a lot at first?

    I went in expecting it to kill, but out of the piercings ive had, this one was not painful.

    i didnt get any blood at all
    and it healed up in like a couple of days
    obviously not completely but enough that i didnt mean to worry about knocking it or cleaning it that much

    Default Tragus Piercing

    I'm just wondering...

    I got my tragus pierced a few days ago and although the pain was excruciating (sp?) during, I have not had any problems with it since. It actually did not bother me at all but starting yesterday it feels almost numb or like there's pressure in my ear... It's kind of hard to explain. I know I'm not supposed to touch the piercing, but since it was bugging me I felt the back of my tragus and realized there was just dried blood (Normal to scab right after getting it) so I figured I just needed to clean the back of it better. I used a cotton ball and the cleaner that they gave me and cleaned out my ear. It seemed to feel a lot better when I went to bed, but now I just feel pressure in my ear and once in a while my right jaw seems to numb a little (it's on my right side). IF ANYONE HAS HAD THEIR TRAGUS PIERCED LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL?? I've been following the cleaning directions every day and I've heard this piercing gets infected easily so I'm just starting to freak out a little....

    I was also told it's not worse than a cartilidge piercing... I defintly don't agree!!!!!! I'd say a cartilidge piecring is a 4 for pain and tragus a 7 for pain. Can any of you who have responded give me some advice as to what they have felt in their tragus right after getting it pierced??? I just got mine done a few days ago and I just posted a thread in this section of the forum about a numbness/pressure feeling that I just started getting in my ear... If any of you could respond to that thread I would appreciate it!!!
