I've had my both tragus pierced three weeks ago and although the piercing experience itself was terrible, I think it was well worth it. My left tragus was pierced with no problems. There was little pain and little bleeding. My right tragus is a different story! The piercer got the needle only half way through and wasn't strong enough to push the needle completely through (I'm not sure why). I was in extreme pain and bleeding like crazy! The piercer started panicking had to get another piercer to help him push the needle completely through. They also had a hard time getting the jewellery in! Well, three weeks have passed and both my piercings are doing well. I haven't experienced any infections and they're no longer sore. If you want your tragus pierced, make sure your piercer knows what s/he is doing first!
