Tragus Piercings
Tragus piercings go through the small “nub” of cartilage in front of the ear canal. For initial piercings, we usually recommend a 16 gauge press-fit post, while a ring can often be worn after the healing period. Since this piercing is front-and-center, it's a great one to showcase unique jewelry styles. You can get pretty fancy with the different choices for ends; gold, diamond, or other stone clusters look especially striking in this piercing.
