Now, I want tragus piercing.
What's the difference between getting it shot in, and pierced, except frrom the price?
Which is better?

i'd definitely get it pierced with a needle. it's usually a little more, but is worth it. especially on a piercing like the tragus.
Just that I was supposed getting it in London (didn't as it was just too expensive, about 25-30 pounds). And then a girl from class got it on her vacation and she paid 5 euros for it. They'd shot it in, and just given her a regular ugly earlobe earring.
Never thought of getting it shot in, until I heard the difference in price. But I'd rather get it done professionally from a piercer and pay more than have it done buy someone in a regular jewellery shop who isn't quite used to the procedure, and probably not as clean.
Now I just need the money to do it!

I got my tragus pierced with a needle, and it has been perfectly fine, no worries at all. Just remember not to pick up the phone too quickly and bash it against your ear the day after you get it pierced....that is fucking sore and it bleeds for hours!! :rolleyes:
Oh, and listen out for the "pop"
:yuck: that just made me cringe
Just a scar or a hole?
a tragus is that small bit in the middle of your ear... can't really explain it
thats it there...where the hoop is

A girl at work used to have two piercings in her nose, and several in her ear cartlidge. It's been about four years since she's taken them out, and you wouldn't know she'd ever had her nose pierced, or her ears for that matter, as all that's left on her ears are some very small marks which just look like regular, natural, skin blemishes. Hmm, she has cute ears too. I could stroke and kiss them all day long - if she'd let me.

Certainly not a tragus piercing

newer piercings tend to heal completely - you can't even see where the hole was on my nostril - i only had it in about 4 months - whereas if you've had the piercing for years there'll probably be a scar there.
i'm not the greatest lover of piercings myself, i've got a tunnel in my ear but thats it. i'm more of a tattoo man ya know.
