What is a tragus piecing?

The Tragus is a little prominent flap of skin and cartilage in front of the ear canal, this piercing is done by professional body piercers and should never be done by a piercing gun. To do so can lead to serious personal injury to the tissue and hearing.
The tragus is the small external lobe of flesh of the ear closest to the skull. It is located in front of the concha. This lobe is conventionally pierced with a captive bead ring. The tragus has no nerve endings but some piercers experience pain.
