Tragus piercing are done by professional body piercers and are never ever to be done with a piercing gun due to the risk of misfires and deep tissue damage.
It depends on how long you have the piercing/ how healed it is. If you have it for longer than a year and it is all healed, it will usually stay open for awhile. Your tragus is just like the cartilage on the outer rim of your ear.
Generally it's 10mm by 18g and the piercing is done with a 16g needle.
For a tragus piercing, it's important to use an earring that is specifically designed for that type of piercing. The size of the earring will depend on the individual's anatomy and the initial jewelry used for the piercing. Generally, a small stud or hoop with a diameter of around 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch (6mm to 9mm) is commonly used for a tragus piercing. However, it's best to consult with a professional piercer for personalized advice on sizing and jewelry selection based on your specific piercing.
