    I have one of mine. I dont think it hurt at all, and it took 3 goes for the guy to do it (first time he went through his own finger 2nd time he got it in but when he went to put the ring through the plastic sleeve had come out, so 3rd time lucky he pierced it again and got it in.) i also have belly and tongue and tatts. i also use earplugs no worries and i have stephascopes in my ears multiple times a day and it doesnt bother it.

    Go for it girl if you want it!!

    I have mine done and I didnt feel it. The guy that did it said the pain and noise depends on the quality of the instruments that they use.
    I did hear a little pop but thats it.

    My scaring has gone now but took over a year for it to go away.

    I had my left one done 3 times. The 1st time abt 4 years ago.took it out when was a couple months preg. Then got it done same side last xmas. The 2nd day the ball rolled of and the bar fell out.so they re did it again, no extra charge. I felt abit pain cos of scar tissue. Five months later.got a bump, a keloid, it hurt.got infected so hubby got pliers and got the ball out.i was sad but thrilled I had it out and cud sleep on that side again. Mind you. My body rejects body piercing. Wud rather get another tatt!

    I'm thinking I might go and get it done today, but do you think it will look ok by next Saturday (my bubs 1st bday party)? I know it takes months to heal but do you think it will still be all crusty & gross looking in a weeks time? I don't want everyone at the party going yuck, look at her ear lol.

    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 just got it done!! It hurt but no where near as bad as I thought. The lady said the worst bit would be putting the jewelry in but I never felt that. Didnt really hear much of a pop or crunch but I felt it break through. It bled a bit so now it's got dry blood on it. She told me to clean it twice a day with rock or sea salt & that's it & not to turn it.

    It was the piercing I had the least issues with. I forgot I had it done about 20 minutes later and was a tad baffled when I got home and Mum commented I got another piercing I've had it about 9 years now and I'd feel naked without it. I've taken most of my other piercings out but couldn't bare to part with the tragus one!
