'I think an important part of styling a tragus is using jewelry that will highlight and compliment that person's ear anatomy, literally fitting the jewelry to their ear shape, so that your client gets a one-of-a-kind curation.'
"Any piercing runs the risk of infection, bumps such as keloids, scarring, allergic reactions, tearing, and rejection ," says Dr. Michael Jacobs, medical technology director atThough the risks for a tragus piercing are relatively low, Jacobs does have a few guidelines for when to reach out to a board-certified dermatologist post-piercing.
Don't believe the urban legends about nerves possibly getting hit during a tragus piercing. "I'll say in over a decade of piercing, I have never ever had anyone have any serious issue with their tragus piercings," Castillo says. "I think a lot of that stuff was just spread by people who don't want your ears to look pretty."The short answer: Tragus piercings, and most cartilage piercings, take about.
"There's healed, and then there's fully healed," says Kelly. "When a piercing is fully healed, you can take an earring out for a long time and the hole won't close up." The average healing time for most cartilage piercings is about three to six months, but Kelly says the tragus tends to take a minimum of four months.
Because many of us listen to music with earphones or headphones regularly, Pearce says special care should be taken. "The contact and pressure on the healing piercing will cause complications such as angle-shifting and even bacterial infections," he says. He advises switching to over-the-ear headphones, which cause less disruption than AirPods or earbuds.
