The tragus is located at the start of the ear of a human. It is the front of the extended part of the starting of the ear canal that juts out. It is the sensitive area of the ear that can also be pointed as the cartilaginous region and needs to be dealt with by professionals only. A special needle known as the lower gauge needle is used when piercing the tragus and the height of pain depends on every individual. However, the tragus piercing takes more time than the normal piercings to heal, i.e. a year is the maximum time it can take.

As mentioned, stress is laid upon the fact that only professionals should pierce the tragus since it is a sensitive area of the ear and piercing it can cause a lot of pain and normally, people tend to jerk in such circumstances. A professional makes sure that not a lot of pain is experienced and even if a person does react due to the shock, no other area of the body contacts the needle as this can result in an even worse scenario.

Even though this procedure is almost like the rest of the procedures, it comes with a lot with more complications than any other type of piercings. It is due to this reason that it is advised to take all the necessary precautions possible to assure yourself the safest tragus piercing.
