K, so before, I asked a question about how badly a helix piercing hurt in comparison to lobes.

Got it done. Easy.

Now I want to know, how does a helix piercing hurt in comparison to a tragus piercing?

Thanxsomuch.

9 out of 10 people I have talked to said that the Tragus was slightly worse than the Helix. Keep in mind that the Tragus piercing is a thicker surface to pierce through than the Helix. A little more force is required, but not much.

Being that it is such a small area, it is going to be a little more tender than a standard Helix piercing, but from what I have seen on my friends that have them, as long as they are taken care of properly, they heal up nicely. :)

I got it done yesterday. It went quite smoothly and was less painful than a helix piercing. I can hardly even feel it now.

I also have both piercings... Traggus was a lot less painful then Helix.. BUT I did wear a plaster over mi traggus for about 2months.. which was not the prettiest of things.. but that's just because I wasn't allowed put a back on it and this ensured it didn't fall out...
Id say go 4 it... it's a pretty cool piercng!
