I am thinking about getting either a tragus piercing or an antitragus piercing. I already have 2 lobe holes in each ear, an Industrial in the left ear, and a helix (cartilage) in the right ear. I like both antitragus and tragus, but I want to choose the one that will even out my ears and not make them look too cluttered. Which one do you think would do that for me and look the best with the ones I already have? How bad does each of them hurt on a scale of 1-10? How long does it take each to heal? Thanks.

Questions about tragus and anti tragus piercings?

I just had my tragus done back in August... and let me tell you it was one of the best piercing decisions i've ever made! I have 3 lobe holes on my right and two on my left as well as my right cartilage and the tragus which is also on the right, it doesn't look cluttered at all!
Now, pain differs from person to person. I know some people who have said it didn't hurt at all and others who said it was the most painful piercing experience they ever had. Personally I didn't experience any pain when the piercer put the needle in, but the part that does tend to hurt (6/7 on the scale) is the actual earring being fitted in. But again, it depends on the piercers skill as well as the thickness of your tragus and general pain threshold.
I'm a pretty fast healer so mine took about 5 months to heal.... You can probably gauge the heal time for yourself by seeing how long it took for your helix + industrial to heal.
Hope that helped! =)
