The tragus piercing?

Question

For those that don't know, this is the tragus piercing.

I've been looking into getting it pierced for a few weeks now, & I'm going next week. I have my lip done, & I had my nose done. Does the tragus hurt more than the nose & lip? I heard it's the most painful piercing. The place I'm going to freezes it, so will that help? I also heard it's the aftercare that can be painful. The thing I'm most concerned about is it being painful to get pierced.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Whether or not it hurts depends on YOUR pain tolerance, not anyone else's. For initial jewelry, have them use a labret stud or a straight barbell both will place less pressure on your piercing and easy the healing process. Hot compresses or sea salt soaks are not painful, but sleeping on the fresh piercing does.

Answer 2

I am getting my Tragus pierced next month! Go us!

My friend has hers done and told me it didn't hurt at all, she didn't feel a thing. HAVE FUN AND REMEMBER TO KEEP IT CLEAN! Also post pictures when you get it!

Answer 3

And don't forget about your piercing when you answer the phone! That hurts SOO much.

mine didn't hurt at all probably around a 2, but a lot of people asy it does hurt O.o

if they freeze it, then its not gonna hurt much at all, even if it does hurt, its over so quick you hardly even remember the pain
