What is a Tragus Piercing?

The Tragus Piercing is a cartilage piercing located on the inner corner of your ear, the small triangle of cartilage directly in front of the ear canal. Stud and hoop earrings are the preferred ear jewellery for the tragus piercing. The tragus is a popular piercing choice and is perfect for a subtle or statement earring.

When having your tragus pierced the piercer will use a needle. It has been suggested that ear cartilage piercings may help manage migraines and this piercing has become more popular ever since.

How to Style Your Tragus Piercing

The tragus is tricky to heal as it gets in the way when wearing earbuds, talking on the phone, or using a Bluetooth earpiece. Once healed, however, the tragus is a wonderful addition to your ear piercing collection. Wear small labret studs or tiny hoops, mix match and stack to style your ear to show your unique personality.

Always check the sizing of your piercing and diameter of the jewellery. Always use a professional piercing technician and seek advice to find out if a tragus piercing is suitable for you.
