i've got been given mine achieved in august :) it doesnt quite harm that lots easily, i assume that relies upon on your soreness threshold nonetheless. they carry the tragus with a clamp to renounce it shifting, then merely press the needle by like they do on different piercings. for me the soreness lasted approximately 3 minutes and wasn't very painful. after approximately 2 minutes it became into greater of a heat / faint burny sensation, yet by employing the time i could left the save it felt like no longer something have ever surpassed off :) good success!

maybe around a 3... the piercing didn't hurt much at all the day after it was sore and tender of course you have to care for it properly or infection sets in. But in all honesty my cartilage piercing hurt worse. Its really cute and there are tons of jewelry to buy for it on ebay i prefer dangly barbels I also have my conch pierced and it hurt worse that the tragus.
