I got my tragus pierced on my right side yesterday.. it was so fast and painless. I was scared when I went because I heard horror stories from people that I knew that had it done.. but it was totally opposite from what they told me. I didn't hear a crunch or a pop sound like people said I would hear.. I think my belly button hurt worse that my tragus... I think I'm going to get the other side done in 2 weeks when I go back to get the ring changed on the one I just got... anyone thinking of getting it done should definetly do it!!! Everyone's experience is different, so go for it!
