I got my tragus pierced! This wasn't something I had really planned to do I just woke up one morning and felt that I wanted to get it done. I had already had it done 3 years ago but sadly it got one of those 'dreaded bump' so I had to take it out.
Seeing as I had it done before I know what the pain was like. I would probably give it a 8/10, not because it hurt to actually do, its the couple of days after that hurt the most. Its constant pain for over a week! It hurts to talk, smile, chew and do anything that involved your jaw moving.
I do love it though and think after al the pain is gone it will be worth it. Cleaning it twice a day can be a task so make sure you're ready to follow though with that before you get it done.
The one thing I forgot before I went and got it done was the fact that I cant wear earphone for 3 weeks. If I had known this before hand I don't think I would have continued with it, I hate only having one headphone in!
You clean it with sea salt and warm water. Its very easy to clean although it might sting a little if you have too much salt in the mixture but that wont cause any problems or irritation, if anything its better as its cleaned better.
You cant sleep on it so make sure you get it on a side where you prefer to sleep.
Overall i'm very happy with my decision to get my tragus and hopefully I will update you in a couple months when its fully healed.
I got mine done at Cold Steel in Camden Town, London for £24 which is a standard price for any ear piercing. I would highly recommend Cold Steel, I have had all my piercings done there and never had a problem.
I hope this has answered any questions you might have if you want to go get your tragus done. If I have left anything out you can leave it as a comment, I reply to everyone.
