Does it hurt sleeping on your ear with a new tragus piercing?

Question

I'm getting it pierced tomorrow and wanted to know which side I should get it on.

Answer 1

for me even getting my lobes pierced hurt for a few days like 2 or 3 and i had to sleep with my head titled cuz i have lower back issue so i cant sleep on my tummy or my back - side only most of the time. so i would assume that anywhere else on ur ear because its more sensitive would case more pain making sleeping on the ear hurt. i only have 3 holes in each lobe so i have no experiences in piercings on other parts of the ear.  

Answer 2

well honestly i got both of mine done the same day. they are driving my crazy cause they are very itchy and thats the healing time, and i don't sleep on mine lay my head on my arm so it the earring don't hit it or sleeping one it or you can take a towel and roll it up and put it in a C when you sleep and that works too. if you don't want to lay your head on your arm! i would get the left but honestly i paid 55 for both of mine!  

Answer 3

Yes, it can also cause irritation and scar tissue formation until the piercing is healed. Try your best to sleep on the other side for a few months, or have it pierced on your non-sleeping side.  

Answer 4

Mine didn't. The first night after I got it I could sleep on my ear perfectly fine. It was a little teeny bit tender but most of the aching that happened after the piercing had completely disapeared by the time I went to bed. And I'm no conan the barbarian, I have a pretty low tolerance to pain. When I got it pierced I yelled bloody murder in the piercing place. Most people say it doesn't hurt that bad, and they're probably right, mostly I disliked the sensation of the needle passing through my ear. Also some people say they hear a pop when they get their's done. I was expecting it and I heard no such thing. Kinda like that green flash when the sun goes down. You look for it but it ain't there.

Answer 5

Yeah it kind of does it's going to be a little sensitive so i would try avoiding sleeping on that side.
