A tragus piercing is a piercing on the small piece of cartilage that covers the ear canal. The tragus is a triangular-shaped piece of cartilage that is closest to the face. The piercing is made with a small gauge hollow needle and is usually decorated with a small diameter captive bead ring or small gauge post style starter piercing jewelry stud.

Tragus piercings are a popular piercing among celebrities and are considered a stylish addition to the ear. Tragus piercings are not very painful because the tragus doesn’t have many nerve endings.

A tragus piercing at Iron Palm is $65 and includes jewelry with the service.
