If its been swollen, discolored (red/purple), or itchy for more than 2-3 weeks. Or if the drainage from the piercing is a dark yellow/greenish color. It could just be irritated if its red and swollen. Go check with your piercer to be sure.
Red, swollen, painful to the touch, warm to the touch and produces green puss when the jewellery is moved.
The opposite of the piercing, tragus ~ anti tragus, eyebrow ~ anti eyebrow.
the tragus piercing is done on cartilage and if you know you form keloids you should avoid cartilage piercings because they have a high chance of forming keloids
After getting my Tragus pierced I waited until 2 months to change mine as it was still hurting , but when they change the bar in the Tragus it can be quite painful so just putting it out there and don't change jewelry in the Tragus when it's infected it really hurts
There is not straight or gay side for a tragus piercing, it's just a piercing and doesn't denote sexual orientation.
The best way to know if your new piercing is infected is by the visual appearance. If the piercing is red or inflamed, it may be infected. It also may be hot to the touch.
I have had my Tragus pierced on both ears, and went swimming almost right after getting the piercing. Mine was fine.
YES it is ...I have an industrial and it is on the cartilage and my cousin have the tragus and she started crying and her pain tolerance is better then mine the tragus huet much more because it is more cartilage in it then on a cartilage piercing
The tragus piercing has a smaller cartillage when pierced while the rook piercing has a bigger cartilage. So rook has to be the much more painful type of ear piercing.
Only if the person doing the piercing is a complete idiot, but generally there is no danger to eyesight from a tragus piercing. Please be sure to see a professional body piercer for this piercing and not some joker with a piercing gun.

Yes a straight guy can get a vertical tragus surface piercing without looking feminine. A lot of straight men have them.
I got told between 4-6 months but i went down to the piercing shop to get mine taken out after about 3 months but it was stuck in my ear! :/ but after that, it was fine and it never got infected! Hope this helps
