I've noticed that my first Anti Tragus piercing post has gotten a lot of views so I would like to do an update on this piercing. Again, this is still one of my favorites and almost looks like two piercings in one due to the positioning. I still have not seen anyone with this or the rook piercing. These seem to be more uncommon in the ear region.
Bar or Hoop?
This is like politics in the piercing world. I've heard people say bars are better for healing and i've heard the same for hoops. Basically, its what you prefer. All of mine are bars because I like the way it looks. Also, consider what part of the ear the piercing will be. In some cases, hoops will be better than bars and vice versa. Keep in mind that the place you go to get pierced will also have there own opinion of what is better.
Tips on cleaning and care:
Don't freak out if your piercing hurts for the first few days. This is normal. You just punctured your skin so your bodies natural reaction is to try and heal. Some really awesome things that you can do to relieve some of the ache-iness is take some luke warm water with a few grains of sea salt (sea salt only!) bend your head over to the side of the cup and let it soak for a few minutes. This feels amazing! It provides so much relief with no irritation.
Something you have to remember:
Again, your body is going to want to reject your piercings. Some people heal much faster than others. If your piercing hasn't healed after a month or so, it might be a good idea to take it out. Now, piercings don't heal in a month (healing time varies depending on piercing). But you should know after a certain amount of time if its healing or not.
Please fell free to ask any questions :)
