That is a job for a professional body piercer, they need to measure the tragus to ensure the right size of jewellery is used. Not all traguses are the same. So see your professional body piercer for guidance.

Does your ear have to be a certain size to get your tragus pierced?

It's called a Tragus. The lip of the ear canal should be predominant and should move freely to cover the canal when pushed by the index finger. If the tragus is too small then healing and rejection could be problems. Only a professional body piercer can make that call by looking at your tragus. Do not pierce this with a piercing gun, there are a great deal of nerves and vessels in this area of the ear and a piercing stud can and will do serious damage that can not be repaired. Piercing guns are for ear lobes only.

Yes, you can use an earring as a belly ring, provided it is made from safe materials and has a suitable design for body piercing.

Always consult with a professional piercer for the best advice.


How do you get a 16 gauge earring in a 18 gauge piercing?

To fit a 16 gauge earring into an 18 gauge piercing, you'll need to stretch the piercing slowly and carefully using tapers or gradually increasing the size of the jewelry over time. It's important to allow enough healing time between stretches to prevent irritation or damage to the piercing. Consulting a professional piercer for guidance and assistance is recommended for this process.
