I have always thought that they were a cool piercing and the more I saw them the more I wanted to have one for myself. I constantly asked people that had it done if it hurt or if they had any complications. I also looked up online to see if there were any major complications ever documented online about the piercing. For months I contemplated getting my tragus pierced. My cousin and I were turning 18 around the same time so we decided to finally do it. So I called in and totally asked for the piercing amount and I was gonna be 35 dollars so I took a chunk of my birthday money and 3 days later I was sitting in the piercing chair.

So I signed all the proper paperwork and with my cousin by my side I went for it. She got all her tools out and by this time I see the needle and im freaking out. I was breathing hard and she reassure me that everything was gonna be okay, she cleaned my ear checked it out and then put the clamp thing on to turn it and look at it but I would have to say that, that was the most uncomfortable part. After that she told me to take deep breaths, and I did as she said, I wanted this to go as smooth as possible. She then looked at me and asked me if I was ready and exactly as I went to exhale to answer she pierced me, at first I was kinda shocked and my ear turned bright red and really really hot, and that was it, I looked at it, she cleaned it and all went well.
She told me to use the saltwater mixture for about 6 weeks and I followed the instructions exactly and everything turned out fine. I love my piercing so much and I couldn't see myself without it now its like a piece of me and even though it was my first piercing on my own I still look at it as my first experience of the freedoms of being 18. Now that I have it done I have younger girls ask me all the time if it hurt or what its like if it gets caught in the brush. Personally I wouldn't recommend the piercing to anyone it hurt really really bad after I first had it done. I couldn't sleep on that side, I could answer the phone, I couldn't like brush my hair without getting it caught in the 16 gauge hoop. It took me a little while to get used to but once I did it was all good.
So here comes the good part, I had my tragus pierced for about 5 months and it closed nicely. My new boyfriend had come over for a date and we were back at my place. After a little cuddle time things started to heat up. He went in to lick my ear and his tongue ring slid perfectly inside the loop of my earring. I pulled away hard after he went to pull away and noticed he was stuck. I ended up ripping his tongue ring straight out the middle of his tongue and ripping my hoop out of my ear we were both bleeding and freaking out. I was so raging pissed off I couldn't help but hit him in the face. Lucky enough we made it to the emergency room him bleeding out his mouth and my ear bleeding down my neck. They stitched him up and fixed his tongue they stitched my ear and made everything better. So after 5 months of perfect healing and pain with having my tragus pierced I was about to experience more pain then I could have ever thought of. My ear bleed for about 3 weeks it would randomly start bleeding. But after that it took about 3 months to heal. I couldn't get over the fact that I had hurt my boyfriend that physically and we broke up shortly after he couldn't talk for awhile.
Now that I look back on it I probably would never get it pierced again I have this constant fear that every piercing I get now I gonna get ripped out. Maybe in a couple years I will get something done, I have been thinking about a clit piercing but I don't know if I have a non sexual piercing get ripped out in a totally sexual way what do you think could happen to this?
