    oh yeah - it did sound a bit like someone crunching paper or something when they did it. it's a while ago now so i don't remember much!!

    Yeah I've had a few people tell me about the crunch noise or some people say they heard a pop. Come to think of it I had a bump on my top cartelidge piercing for a little while too that went away.

    I think it would be fine in a weeks time, just keep it clean and follow the instructions from the piercer with what to clean it with and dont touch it too much

    My body usually freaks out at peircings and get infected easily, but with my Tragus I had no worries

    Good Luck!!!!!

    I've made my mind up, I'm going in today to get it. I'm soooo nervous. DD1's school teacher has it & she's been waiting for me for about a month to get it done, she said coz I'm in the frame of mind to get it done today to do it, otherwise I might chicken out lol.

    i have mine done....it HURT SOOO MUCH i almost passed out getting it done, and ive had quite a few ear rings and my belly button and tongue done in the past. BUT the guy had never done one before i guess he could have just stabbed around and made it worse than it needed to be!
    I have a hoop in it now and it doesnt hurt, had it done 12 years ago (holy crap that makes me feel old) and to be honest i hurt for years! but i loved it and stuck out the really long healing time and annoying pain! doesnt hurt anymore!

    Yep I have it & I love it!! I just have a tiny diamanté in it & I love how it looks!

    Pain wise, I would say it's fine. I've had a few piercings over the years & this one definitely hurt the least. I've also had tongue & labret, back in my rebel days. This one was fine though. You can hear it!

    I got around the headphone thing once I'd had it for a bit, I just changed it to a tiny length bar.

    I agree it is really hard to change yourself though!

    Good luck! You will love it!

    I have had mine done twice now and I loved it! The only reason I had it done twice was my body slowly pushed the first one out but it didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it too. I have had my tongue, belly, nose and ear cartilage done and must say the nose was the most painful for me.
    If you have had your nose pierced with a gun it will be nowhere near as painful as that

    Do it! you will love it

    Thanks girls, reading all your experiences has made me really want to get it done. I'd love to go tomorrow but DH will be at work & there is no way I am taking the kids in with me to get it done. I had my tongue pierced as well years ago and can't remember that hurting so surely I should be able to handle my tragus......right?? Hopefully I can get it done in the next few days before I chicken out lol.

    i did have mine done. i don't think it hurt that much when i had it done. i did get a lump around the piercing on the front for a little while (but i have had that with all cartelidge piercings - must just be me!) but it went after a little while (and it didn't hurt).

    my jewellery fell out one night & instead of replacing it, i decided to retire it. it didn't cause me any major problems or pain though while i did have it
