Piercings Tragus


Decided on getting your tragus piercing? Use our store
locator to find your local Blue Banana Studio. There’s no need to book an
appointment; you can simply go to the store of your choice and be pierced on
the day.
Please ensure that you have checked the ear piercing age
restriction before coming to the store. In a Blue Banana studio, the tragus
piercing age restriction is 16 (ID may be required) or 13 with parental consent
from a parent or guardian who is present.
Once you’re all booked in, you will have some forms to fill out. A member of Blue Banana staff will go through the steps and can help you pick out jewellery. Then the piercer will give you a quick consultation and briefing before discussing the piercing location.



The tragus piercing typically takes 3-9 months to fully heal
due to it being a cartilage piercing.
During the healing process, there are some activities you
will want to avoid such as sleeping on your new piercing and swimming. Knocking
or putting pressure on a cartilage piercing can cause the angle to change and
the healing process to take longer so be sure to take extra care not to catch your
new piercing jewellery and to keep up with your aftercare.
Clean your tragus piercing twice a day with salt water
solution or Tea Tree Oil by gently bathing it using cotton wool.
While it is important to ensure your general ear hygiene is first rate, it is also advisable to avoid using soap on your new piercing so be sure to take extra care while washing your ears and removing ear wax.


There’s plenty of options when it comes to tragus piercing
jewellery from Blue Banana. Some popular styles include:
- Tragus Piercing Stud
- Tragus Piercing Ring
- Tragus Piercing Jewellery
Your tragus piercing will most likely be done with a tragus
bar as this reduces the risk of the jewellery catching during the healing
process. It is vital for the healing process that you remain patient and don’t
change your jewellery until your piercer has advised you to do so.
When choosing your piercing jewellery there are a few things
you should consider:
- Jewellery Size – everyone’s ears are different sizes, so make sure to pick jewellery that sits just right in your ear. If you are wearing a ring in your ear you will want to make sure it fits snugly. Make sure you also find out what gauge (thickness of jewellery) you have been pierced with.
- Jewellery Material – piercing materials differ not only through their look but also how they could react to your skin. Titanium jewellery is a popular choice due to the hypoallergenic and non-corrosive qualities.
We generally recommend that for new piercings you choose jewellery with a wider diameter or length. This can allow for extra room in case of any swelling. Make sure to check out the tips from our piercing guides for information about changing and removing piercing jewellery.
