Tragus

Meet the tragus: that tiny, pointy piece of cartilage tucked near your face (more head-adjacent than ear-adjacent, if you will). Tragus piercings are a fan favourite, but they do require the right anatomy to shine. The process? A quick pinch, surprisingly manageable, not super painful, and definitely not throbby.

Healing rules matter here! Sleeping on your new tragus is a hard pass. Pressure can seriously mess with healing and increase the risk of scarring. To help your piercing thrive, we won’t pierce cartilage if you already have a healing piercing on the opposite ear.

One more thing before you commit: for the entire healing period, it’s bye-bye earbuds, headphones, and stethoscopes on that side. Temporary sacrifice, permanent cool factor!
