FAQs
What are the benefits of a tragus piercing?
The benefits of a tragus piercing include a subtle and stylish look, easy pairing with other ear piercings, and low risk of snagging due to its flat placement. Some people also report reduced anxiety or migraines, although this is not medically proven.
What jewellery is best for a tragus piercing?
The best jewellery for a tragus piercing is a small flat-back stud made from implant-grade titanium, surgical steel, or gold. This style helps reduce pressure and stays securely in place.
Can a tragus piercing help with migraines?
Some people believe a tragus piercing helps with migraines, but there is no strong medical evidence confirming this. The idea comes from acupuncture, where pressure points in the ear are linked to migraine relief.
What’s the difference between tragus, anti-tragus, and surface tragus piercings?
The difference is in the placement: a tragus piercing goes through the small flap beside your ear canal, an anti-tragus piercing sits above the earlobe on the opposite bump, and a surface tragus piercing is placed on the skin in front of the tragus using a surface bar.
What does a tragus piercing symbolize?
A tragus piercing symbolizes individuality, confidence, and interest in modern body art. Some also see it as a calming or spiritual choice due to its close link to acupuncture points.
Which side is the tragus piercing?
A tragus piercing can be done on either the left or right ear. The side usually depends on personal preference or ear anatomy.
What should I avoid after a tragus piercing?
After a tragus piercing, avoid touching it with dirty hands, using earbuds or headphones, sleeping on that side, and exposing it to hair products or dirty water. Stick to saline cleaning and follow your piercer’s aftercare advice.
