Is the tragus piercing made for me?
It is true that we have very different ear morphologies. Tragus piercing is not made for all ears. If your piece of cartilage is too small, it will be complicated to collect there. Some have more pronounced tragus than others. The best person who can refer you to this decision is your perceur. He will determine whether or not your ear can support a jewel at the tragus. Also note the proximity of the tragus with the ear canal. It can therefore be more sensitive to bacteria. Tragus cartilage has lower blood supply than other ear areas. So that means that the risk infection is a little higher. It will therefore be necessary to be even more vigilant to the maintenance and care that you will bring to this piercing.Where to be pierced by the tragus?

Cartilage piercings need to be performed with a sterile needle and not a pistol. In general, the piercer will ask you a jewel on labret (bar) which will facilitate the healing.
