Tuesday Tragus

Guess what I did this evening?

Nope, this isn’t a doctor’s office.

And I didn’t get abducted by aliens and visit a special alien micro-chip removal specialist.

I got my tragus pierced!

See? There’s my newly decorated tragus. I’ll be getting the left ear done once this one heals up. I like to sleep on my side, so I didn’t want to get them both done at once. And you’re not supposed to get it wet, so I have to hold a plastic cup over my ear in the shower. But only until it heals, and hopefully I’ll heal real quick.

Mad props to Christina with Piercing Experience in Candler Park for doing an awesome, sterile, and pain-free job. I’m excited for my next visit… I don’t like being all asymmetrical. But I’ll deal for the next month or two. It was fun to get pierced again. The last time was way back in 2001 and, much to my parents dismay, I got my tongue pierced in London. Then I swallowed it in China and it closed up before I could find a replacement. The piercing, not my tongue.

Oh, and apparently I have a very flexible tragus. In case you were wondering.

    hey so *that’s* what a tragus is!
    did it hurt?

    I’ve been thinking about getting that done! It’s good to read that it doesn’t hurt. I remember the pain I had when I got my tongue pierced when I was around 17/18 yrs old…never ever again..

    Oh, well maybe I have a different pain threshold… cuz my tongue didn’t hurt when I got it pierced. The only thing I felt at all was the clamp, not the needle. Although it can also depend on the piercer… some people say their tragus hurt, especially after. Mine has been fine, but Piercing Experience is awesome and super-sterile.
