Highlights Of Tragus Piercings

Choice and procedure for the injection

Before proceeding to tragus piercing, it is necessary to carefully approach the choice of the master and studio. Keep in mind that the experience and qualifications of the specialist play an important role in the successful completion of the procedure. It is also important to pay attention to the sterility of instruments and the use of quality jewelry. 

 

The tragus injection procedure is performed with a special needle or cannula. It is carried out through the cartilaginous tissue of the auricle, requiring special care and precision on the part of the craftsman. It is recommended to check with the master about the injection process, materials used and jewelry before the procedure is performed.

  • It is important not to touch the piercing with dirty hands or turn the jewelry for the first few weeks after the procedure to avoid trauma and delayed healing. 
  • You should not wear heavy or low-quality jewelry on your piercings to avoid negative effects on the tissue. 
  • It is recommended to avoid contact with chemicals, sunlight and dust during piercing healing to avoid disrupting the healing process and causing irritation.

History Of Tragus Piercing

Ancient origin

The practice of tragus piercing has been known since antiquity and had deep symbolic and ritual meanings. Many ancient civilizations practiced tragus piercing, using it as a way to express status, religious and cultural beliefs. 

 

In different cultures, the piercing of the tragus was accompanied by various rituals and ceremonies. For example, in ancient Egypt, tragus piercing symbolized belonging to the upper classes and was obligatory for some estates. In ancient Greece and Rome, tragus piercings adorned heroes and warriors, giving them extra strength and courage. 

 

Modern realization

In modern culture, tragus piercings became popular in the late 20th century and still continue to attract many people today. It has become one of the symbols of contemporary youth subculture and individuality. Today, tragus piercings are available in a variety of options and styles, allowing everyone to choose a piece of jewelry that reflects their personality and style. 

 

However, despite modern trends, tragus piercings still retain their historical significance and symbolism. Each piercing and jewelry carries with it a piece of the past and tradition, making tragus piercings special and meaningful to its wearer. 

 

The choice of tragus piercing jewelry depends on each person's individual preferences and style. Some prefer the classic version with a stud or ring, while others prefer more original and non-standard jewelry, such as a spiral or a banana tree. It is important to consider not only the appearance of the jewelry, but also its quality to avoid irritation and infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have really sensitive ears. What are your pieces made of?

My team and I have sensitive ears, too! Our goal is to provide high quality, affordable, hypoallergenic options for our sensitive-eared girlies. All materials are listed in each product's item description. We use stainless steel, surgical steel, and implant grade titanium in our earrings. These materials are rust and tarnish proof and won't turn your skin green. 

 

If your ears are extra extra sensitive, I recommend giving our flat back earrings a try! They're made of surgical grade materials. Less than 1% of the population is allergic to true implant grade titanium, which makes it the best metal for sensitive skin. 

To learn more about why implant grade titanium is awesome, read this peer-reviewed article: https://www.mdpi.com/2079-6412/12/2/214
 

Note that our gold titanium flat back studs do have an 18K Gold PVD plating. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. 
 

Is your jewelry waterproof?

Oh yeah! 99% of our earrings are waterproof. Unless otherwise stated (we have a few hand painted statement earrings), you're getting jewelry that you can get wet.

My clicker hoop clasp seems to be getting loose. How can I fix that?

It's inevitable. Your favorite pair of hoops won't stay shut anymore. So annoying! Simply put a little pressure on the post part that goes through your ear until it shifts a tiny bit up or down. Keep doing that until it clicks in snugly. Be careful not to press too hard though! 

Do you offer discounts?

We are priced very fairly when you look at other brands with our same caliber of quality! We do have a monthly discount and an extra special yearly birthday discount for members of our Cords Club (it's free!).
