Tragus piercing hurt?

Well I just got my tragus done yesterday. And the pain level isn't that bad. It does not feel good when the needle goes into your ear. But in like 30min you won't even know its their. And trust me when your body forgets about the new piercing and you touch your ear it will not forget the ache that it will leave. Another word of advise is to not look at the piercing equipment. It makes it better when you don't see the needle. Another word of advice is to not use the piercing gun. That's illegal in some states. And get a small hoop earring for starting your piercing off. It makes it easier to take care of for the next 6-8 weeks.

Ramona is right I feel the same way I actually shed a tear or two when it was being pierced and I took painkillers because I pierced it before work and culdnt take the pain anymore... I did it today and it still hurts and feels like throbbing pain... I hope and I am sure it will go away soon all that I am concerned with is being able to listen to my headphones. I love this piercing totally worth it

I got my tragus done like 4 months ago.. i have no other type of body piercing except for my ear lobe. I guess it all depends on who is piercing it.. the nice gentlmen who did mine was very calm about it. The only time it actully hurt was we they first put it in then in slimply slid through. You have to take care of it..at first i thought I didn't cause i though it would never get infected..but it did. its very hard to take care of. But once it heals it should be all good and if a lilttel redness happens make sure to clean it at least twice a week. other wise you'll be alright

It all depends on who you are. No one has the same pain tolerance. But tragus piercings in general don't hurt all that much. If you've ever had your cartilage done, you can relate it to that. Basically it hurts going in, sort of like getting a shot by the doctor, if feels like a little stinging pinch, and feels funny for a while, but goes away. there aren't any nerves in your cartilage so you shouldn't feel pain. I would not suggest getting it done with a gun, because this can damage the cartilage in your ear, and can cause major damage, and pain. Also be sure the person piercing it is cleaning everything, and that they are a professional.
