Question about a Tragus piercing?

Question

Hey thanks for viewing this question.

I was wondering what size gauge they normally pierce your tragus with?

And you know those threaded balls you can attach to a bar? What size are they suited to and does it matter what type of bar you have?

Any other info on Tragus piercings would be great too.

Thanks.

Answer 1

ok... I know  a little bit about piercings.

They normally do standard gauge things 14. That'd be like an eyebrow or lip, similar.



I -do- think the Tragus piercing is a 16 or 18 though. KEEP IT CLEAN.

NOTHING is more disgusting than an infected piercing. smaller gauges have a tendency to infect easier, so really... save a piercing artist's time and -your- money, and keep it clean.

It will be painful.

Answer 2

i got both of mine done and its with an 16g

mine is a round captive ring cause its easier to clean with a q-tip

just clean it with warm water and soap and with a q-tip 2-3 times a day and you should be fine!

mine are starting to itch really bad and that means they are healing!

Answer 3

it depends on what kind of ring you want to put in your tragus. i got mine pierced with an 18gauge. which is a nose ring stud size basically. but i have  a really small tragus.

the healing process wasent bad. and it didnt really hurt to get it done in the first place.

good luck
