Tragus piercing is much more complex than a piercing in any other location; it is a cartilage piercing on the upper outer edge of the ear. Because of its location, earrings in this area may be more difficult to wear than those in other areas. If you want to know more about tragus piercing, this article will provide you with detailed knowledge about it.

Before getting a tragus piercing, you need to know

1. Determine if you have sensitive ears

If you know that you are sensitive and should not be pierced but still have to go hard, the consequences may be very serious. If you have problems in this area, it is better to buy ear cuff earrings, which can also have a sense of fashion.

2. Pick a good piercing season

In summer, when it is too hot, it is easy to sweat and the mixture of sweat that flows onto the ear can inflame the piercing. In winter, when it is too cold, taking off sweaters and coats with too much panache can touch the piercing area, which may pull and cause pain and eventually lead to inflammation.

Therefore, it is best to avoid summer and winter, and choose a comfortable spring and slightly cooler autumn for piercing.

3. Wash your hair well

Be sure to give your hair a thorough cleaning before piercing. Two to three days after the piercing is not recommended to get wet.

4. Choose a reliable piercing store

Remember to go to a professional piercing store or a tattoo store with piercing services. Remember to confirm the hygiene before the fight: whether the piercer wears disposable gloves, or if piercing utensils are sterilized.

• Protect your tragus piercing well in all situations

Remember to sterilize the piercing by soaking the gauze in saline and then securing the gauze around the piercing, making sure that the saline is accessible before and after the piercing. Hold it for 3 minutes and then remove it, after which the piercing is cleaned with a cotton swab moistened with hydrogen peroxide.

3. wait: one month for earlobe studs and 2-3 months for cartilage studs depending on recovery.
