✨ Not going to lie – tragus piercings do hurt 😬, as the tragus is a cartilage piercing and is going to be harder to pierce than an earlobe. Thankfully the pain is sharp and short – according to professionals, what’s actually uncomfortable is more the pressure on your ear canal rather than the pain of the piercing itself.
💪 If you feel nervous about the pain, a tragus piercing might be something to build up to. Or you can do as piercer Ryan Dreyfuss recommends and bring a battle buddy to your piercing to help you.
✨ Tragus piercings really help you get your ear party started. Cartilage hoops, flat back earrings, and horseshoe styles like our Shooting Star Open Hoops all look fantastic on your tragus.
Tragus Piercing Jewelry
✨ Tragus piercings, like all ear cartilage piercings, are typically pierced with a 16 gauge needle , which is 1.2mm thick . By comparison, your standard lobe piercing uses a 20 gauge needle, which is 0.81mm thick. Ideally, you should wear 16 gauge jewelry in your tragus to prevent your piercing from shrinking.
✨ We hear from lots of people who wear standard 20 gauge jewelry in their tragus (not recommended!), and sometimes when you do this, your piercing will close up a bit. If your piercing has shrunk over time, you may want to try earrings that are 18 gauge in size, or 1.0mm thick .

✨ A tragus piercing takes about 3 to 6 months to heal. Your tragus piercing will mostly heal within six months, but it’s recommended to wear the jewelry you were pierced with for a full year before switching it out.

Post Length: From the back of the frontal to the end of the post, this represents the length of an earring. MARIA TASH threaded studs typically come in 6.5mm lengths, but we carry many sizes to suit different piercings and personal anatomy, including 5mm, 8mm, 9.5mm, and 11mm.
Hoop Size: The diameter determines its size, which is measured across the inner part of the ring. Although the most common diameters for MARIA TASH jewelry are 6.5mm and 8mm, many of our hoops come in 5mm, 9.5mm, 11mm, and larger.

We offer a set of titanium hoops in all of our sizes so you can try on the range of diameters and choose the perfect fit for the look you want.

We recommend threaded studs for 24/7 comfort in cartilage piercings. They screw securely into place and have smooth backs that lay flush against the ear and don’t poke out or get caught on hair and clothing. We offer six different post sizes so every client can find their perfect fit.
Gauge refers to the thickness of the hoop, and indicates how large a piercing must be to hold the jewelry properly. It’s important to note that the higher the gauge, the thinner the wearable surface.
18 Gauge: Our most common and thinnest plain hoop can be positioned throughout the ear. If you come get pierced with us, the piercer will likely select this gauge.

16 Gauge: Our second most common thickness is typically recommended if you select a hoop diameter of 11mm or higher to stabilize the shape of the larger ring.
The post you are pierced with is always slightly longer to accommodate for swelling that may occur within the first month. After four to six weeks, once the swelling has subsided and healing is underway, we swap out your post for a shorter one to prevent jewelry from getting snagged or migrating away from its original angle.
Your downsize is always a complimentary service when performed with MARIA TASH because we are passionate about giving you the perfect fit. Can't make it back to a store? Contact our Customer Care team here to request a shorter post.
Tragus Ear Hoop (single)
Hold the hoop on either side of the closure. Gently pull the wearable surface out of the closure without twisting, and the hoop will open. Continue to open the remaining cuffs with the same movement until all rings are open.
Insert the wearable curved post on the first ring into the front of hole one, two, or three in the Lobe, and close the ring by gently pushing sections together until it clicks closed. Then gently snap close the remaining cuffs until they fit snugly against the ear. Subtly adjust rings to point down for pierced realism.
Open the cuffs by gently separating the two sections of the hinge. For the piercing, use one hand to hold the front of the hoop and use the index finger of the opposite hand to identify the space between the wearable surface and hoop and gently pull apart.
