Piercing the tragus can be more painful than other piercings as it is a thicker piece of cartilage with a high concentration of nerve endings. However, pain is subjective and can vary from person to person. Some individuals report minimal pain while others may experience more discomfort.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Dry them with a clean towel.

2. Locate the ball on the end of the tragus piercing stud. It should be visible on the outside of the piercing.

3. Using your fingers, gently twist the ball counterclockwise. This will loosen the ball from the post.

4. Continue twisting the ball until it comes off the post. If the ball is too tight to remove with your fingers, use a pair of clean pliers or tweezers to help unscrew it.

5. Once the ball is removed, gently pull the post out of the piercing hole. It should slide out easily. If you feel any resistance or pain, stop immediately and seek the help of a professional piercer.

6. Clean the area with a saline solution or mild soap and water to prevent infection.

7. If you plan to insert a new piece of jewelry, make sure to sanitize it properly before inserting it into the piercing.

Remember to always be gentle and cautious when removing a piercing, and seek professional help if you encounter any difficulties or experience pain.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to ensure they are clean and dry before touching the piercing.

2. Disinfect the tragus earring and the area around the tragus with rubbing alcohol or saline solution.

3. Hold the earring between your thumb and index finger.

4. Insert the earring into the hole in your tragus slowly and gently, making sure not to force it.

5. Twist the earring slightly as you push it through the piercing to help it glide in more easily.

6. Once the earring is through the piercing, secure the backing onto the post by pushing it onto the end of the earring.

7. Ensure that the backing is securely fastened so that the earring does not fall out.

It is essential to avoid touching or rotating the piercing too much while it heals to prevent irritation or infection. Follow proper aftercare instructions to promote healing and avoid complications.
