Tragus piercing
Tragus piercings are very popular these days. If even 20 years ago it did not have much distribution, now various salons offer it without problems. Not everyone, however, knows what it is, and what is pierced in this case. The tragus is the triangular part of the outer ear, which is located exactly opposite the auricle.
Another name for this dense cartilage is tragus... Tragus puncture is popular among both young people and adults. Thus, you can effectively emphasize your uniqueness, because a small earring looks beautiful and discreet. Most often, the tragus is pierced because:
- It's beautiful;
- Emphasizes your style;
- It doesn't hurt that much when compared to other types of piercings.
Now piercing the tragus is not even considered a piercing. It is so mundane and easy to do that it can be done at home. In terms of novelty, tragus ear piercings are considered very interesting for potential people who want to make a similar jewelry for themselves.
A small-diameter hollow needle is used for puncture. Moreover, it can be both straight and curved. The puncture itself must be done with great care, since otherwise there is a serious risk of touching the deep tissues of the tragus.
Is the tragus puncture safe?
Tragus ear piercing is a fairly safe procedure. The pain is minimal. If we compare, for example, the felt pain when piercing the tragus and, say, the nose or lip, then the last parts of the body are much more painful to pierce. The thing is that there are no nerve endings in the ear cartilage, unlike other body parts popular for piercing. That is why this type of piercing is willingly done by persons under the age of 18.
Much more dangerous is not the puncture of the tragus itself, but the total number of holes in the ear. This part of the human body is the most important acupuncture system in our body. In simple words - there are a lot of points that directly affect the normal functioning of the tonsils, tongue, inner ear.
In addition, unnecessary punctures can negatively affect the nervous system. These warnings should be adopted by anyone who wants to once again pierce the tragus or other part of the ear.
How to choose a tragus earring?
The choice of earrings for tragus piercing cannot be called very rich. First of all, this is influenced by the small size of the tragus. In terms of jewelry, most often there are a ring with a clasp, or small-sized stud earrings. Other, more dimensional options for jewelry will look extremely unpresentable.
Besides they can cause severe pain during the piercing procedure... Also, wearing them can lead to significant discomfort.
For a beginner lover, a stud-shaped tragus earring is suitable. In this case, you can choose from a whole range of different colors. There is ample scope for experimentation here. Over time, you can try to use a ring with a clasp.
