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.

Does it hurt when you have your tragus pierced?

Not really. It's all a matter of how high your pain tolerance is really. It shouldn't hurt more than an ordinary cartilage piercing. Just make sure it's done with a needle and not with a piecing gun.


How painful is the anti-tragus compared to the rook piecing?

Pain is relative. So theres really no definitive answer I can give you. They're both cartilage so they'll feel pretty similar but I imagine that the anti-tragus would be harder to heal. The rook is set farther back in your ear so you wouldnt hit it as much and it wont be as big of a deal to sleep on it :)

What hurts more reverse tragus or double tragus?

NO such thing as a reverse tragus. Do you mean an anti-tragus? Either way, a double tragus would probably seem to hurt more just because you would have to get two of them!They're both cartilage piercing and pretty much the same thickness. So its really hard to say for sure
