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.

What is the gauge size of a tragus piercing?

16 is the standard size. It may also be possible to do 14, but most peoples Tragus' would not accomadate this size.


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.

How do you Permanently remove an Ear Piercing?

Simply remove your jewelry and leave the piercing empty. There is no guarantee that it will fully close, but as long as you are at a "regular" (18-20 gauge, standard post type earring size) or smaller gauge (4-16 gauge) it should shrink enough to go unnoticed.


Is a normal sized earring the same size as a normal sized lip piercing?

No! Check with the piercer to see what gauge ur lip bar is .... mine is 16g


Is a 16 gauge the same as a regular earring?

No. The common, plain old, earring size is almost always 22 Gauge. 16 Gauge is just a bit smaller than the common piercing size of 14 Gauge. The size chart goes down in increments of two from 22 usually down into the negatives of 00 gauge, and then breaks down into diameters.

Is there difference in punch size in blanking and piercing?

Whether it is blanking or piercing, size of opening in sheet is governed by punch and size of cutout piece is governed by Die. So, for piercing, Punch size should be same as required hole size and clearance should be given on Die. For e.g for a hole size Dia 8, punch size should Be 8mm and die size 8 + clearance For Blanking, DIe size should be same as size of blank and clearance should be give on punch. So for a blank of Dia 8, die size is of 8mm and punch size is 8 - clearance.


What piercing hurts more. A tragus rook or snug?

Well considering the tight quarters you have the piercer working in, they can be uncomfortable but not unbearable. We are of course talking about having it done correctly by a professional body piercer and not some joker with a piercing gun. All cartilage is over pierced (or should be) which is to say the piercing is done with a needle one size bigger than the jewellery entering the piercing. this is so the cartilage will allow the skin to heal around the newly formed piercing between the cartilage and the jewellery going into the piercing. So sort term localized minor bleeding should be expected. Other than that it's pretty straight forward from a piercers prospective and therefore easy for you to handle. Yes I read your notes! Cheers.
