A Tragus piercing is a technically challenging piercing that can't be done without knowledge of the structures of the ear and cartilage. Permanent ear and hearing damage can be done when attempted by novices. Listen use common sense and leave piercing to the hands of professional body piercers who will use aseptic methods and materials to provide the piercing in a safe manner. This is not a piercing gun piercing.
Only if the person doing the piercing is a complete idiot, but generally there is no danger to eyesight from a tragus piercing. Please be sure to see a professional body piercer for this piercing and not some joker with a piercing gun.
Tragus piercing are done by professional body piercers and are never ever to be done with a piercing gun due to the risk of misfires and deep tissue damage.
It's called a Tragus. The lip of the ear canal should be predominant and should move freely to cover the canal when pushed by the index finger. 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.
Sounds like it was done with a piercing gun, if it was done by a professional body piercer your tragus would feel just fine after three months. If it was done by a gun it's too deep take it out.
Never get any piercing with a gun-style piercing machine no matter what. Gun-style piercing machines cause trauma, unnecessary damage, and scar tissue around the piercing that would not happen when proper equipment (a bevel-tip hollow piercing needle) is used.
they use a piercing gun or a needle
The Tragus is a little prominent flap of skin and cartilage in front of the ear canal, this piercing is done by professional body piercers and should never be done by a piercing gun. To do so can lead to serious personal injury to the tissue and hearing.The tragus is the small external lobe of flesh of the ear closest to the skull. It is located in front of the concha. This lobe is conventionally pierced with a captive bead ring. The tragus has no nerve endings but some piercers experience pain.
Tragus piercing is not illegal however it is a piercing that can not and should not be done with a piercing gun. As with all body piercing this should be left for a professional body piercer to handle in a licensed and inspected facility. The tragus is a technically challenging piercing that must be done in a controlled manner, serious permanent injury can be done if this piercing is attempted by individuals who have no training or knowledge of human anatomy. Piercing guns are restricted to use on the ear lobes only under Health Canada Guidelines for infection and disease control, they were never designed nor intended to be used on ear cartilage. This piercing is to be done by a Professional Body Piercer only.
No. Claire's uses a gun to pierce, and tragus piercings can only be done with a needle. Claire's strictly does only Outer Ear piercings like the lobe and cartilage. Some Claire's don't even do cartilage.
The Needle. Using The Gun To Pierce Like For Example Your Cartilage In Your Ear, The Cartilage Might Shatter And Youll Feel Tiny Bumps Around Your New Piercing, Thatll Mean You Have Shattered Your Cartilage. So In My Opinion For Choosing What To Pierce With I Would Have To Say A Hollow Piercing Needle :)
You should never pierce your cartilage with guns. It will damage your body tissue and you will find a lump growing outside the piercing after a while. Guns are only safe for piercing the soft fleshy parts of your earlobes. Nowhere else. Safest is to go to a pro-piercing artist, he/she should use proper hollowed and sterilised or brand new needles to pierce. It doesn't hurt at all if the piercing is done professionally.
