I got my tragus pierced 3 days ago. Yesterday evening I bumped it and it was bleeding pretty good, I took a shower to rinse off all the blood and it stopped bleeding. I just woke up and literally my entire ear is covered in blood. Some of it is crusty like it is older, but there is a lot of fresh blood too. It seems to all be coming out of the back of the piercing. Do I need to be worried? Thanks!

A new piercing can bleed after bumping it (OUCHH!!). It's normal because it's an open wound inside. Keep it nice and clean with antibacterial soap and warm sea salt water. The bleeding will stop, avoid sleeping on it for a few days to allow a new scab to form.
go to the doctor!
