The Trouble with My Tragus Piercing...

 
 

 
 



 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
I had my tragus pierced in August 2012. About one month in, I developed what is known as a hypertrophic scar, which looks like a tiny blister along the top of the piercing. Basically, its a sign of irritation. Last week I had my captive bead ring changed out to a bent barbell (examples featured above). According to the piercer who assisted me, the jewelry I prefer, a labret stud, isn't an option for me since I had a ring in my ear which has caused the "canal" of my piercing to take on a curved shape. I had my heart set on a labret for months, but now I'm adjusting to a future of bent barbells, and as you can see from the cute choices I've included in the post, the future of my tragus looks bright!
