El tragus vertical is a type of piercing which resembles the "normal" tragus, but with one important difference.
Now, we will answer some questions and answers from this piercing that seems to be more and more fashionable. Keep reading and you will see!
What is a vertical tragus?
This type of piercing is located near the tragus area (hence its name) but it is not exactly the same, since the skin next to the tragus is pierced, which, remember, is the dome-shaped cartilage just above the hole in the ear.
The vertical tragus is located slightly more towards the face and usually consists of two perforations. It is very striking, while the traditional tragus is more discreet, something to take into account when deciding on one or the other.
Does it hurt to get this piercing?
Being an area of cartilage, there are not many nerve endings, so luckily it is not very painful. Also, some tattoo artists recommend using a needle instead of a gun, claiming that it is much less painful. Everything is going to taste!
Do I have to follow any special care?
The care of the vertical tragus does not differ much from that of any other piercing of the tragus family. The important thing is to maintain good hygiene in the area so that it does not become infected. To do this, you will have to clean the piercing with serum and, while you do it, move it. Try not to touch it when you are not cleaning it and, of course, if you have to, wash your hands first.
In addition, always follow the advice of the specialist And, if you have doubts, talk to him or her until you have everything clear.
