Piercings come in all shapes and sizes, especially ear piercings! A popular and common choice of ear piercing is the tragus piercing, so a little more information can never hurt!
The Tragus
The tragus is a small piece of cartilage that sits close to the opening of your ear, an ideal place for a glittering piercing you might say! The tragus is normally pierced instead of shot – this is to ensure that the cartilage does not shatter because of the force of the shot. This can lead to nasty complications, including bulges, deformation and a lot of inflammation!
The trend of the tragus piercing first started to become popular around 2005 and although the reason is unknown as to why it became so popular the tragus is a very appealing piercing. The tragus piercing sits in a subtle place making it not as obvious as other piercings. Also it contains few nerves making is not as painful as you might think!
Piercings for the tragus
The range of choice of tragus piercing grows with its popularity, the most obvious being the tragus piercing and the ball closure ring. In addition to that there is also the piercing that has a chain connecting the tragus with the helix.
These chains are available with a cartilage piercing as well as the cartilage ‘clip on’.
Today’s tragus already offer plenty of options and is very popular! The chances are the tragus piercing will remain a popular trend!
