Vault 101’s Piercing Bar Of The Week – Tragus Bar
Hey everyone, we are back again, with another blog in our “Of The Week” series aaand theee wiiinnneeer iiisss TRAGUS BAR 🙂 What is a tragus piercing? A tragus is a part of your ear in front of the ear canal and the purpose of it is to insert and wear a piece of jewellery ;). Tragus piercing gained popularity in 2005 and now is considered as a treatment for weight loss. That’s right ladies and gents! Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice in traditional medicine, that involves inserting many thin needles into very specific points on the body, tragus is one of them! It believes to have a pressure point that controls appetite, leading to weight loss. How amazing is that 😀
Do the tragus piercing hurt?
The tragus’ cartilage is thicker and requires more pressure to pierce the skin… so yes it hurts, only for a split second. Unless you have balls of steel, you might not feel any pain 😀
How long does it take for a tragus piercing to heal?
Many people get their tragus fully healed and back to normal within 2 months, some still experience pain after 8 months. This is why it’s important, to keep the pierced area clean, to prevent it from getting infected.
Needle or a gun?
Needle is an ideal tool for a tragus piercing. It is precise, accurate, gets the job done quickly and it hurts less than using a gun. Basically NEVER USE A GUN, here explains why you shouldn’t.
Does it matter what material I wear in my body?
Yes! It is vital that you understand the differences in jewellery materials and quality, to make sure you are not risking your long-term health and appearance, as some materials can discolour the skin and even cause a nasty reaction.
