Antitragus piercing
DESCRIPTION
An Antitragus piercing is placed in the lower inner cartilage of the ear, directly above the earlobe. It takes its name from its location in the small cartilage fold positioned roughly opposite the Tragus, which sits in front of the ear canal. If you follow the contour of your ear upwards from the earlobe, you can easily find this small raised cartilage area.
The Anti-Tragus is a distinctive, characterful ear piercing that makes a statement on its own. Combined with a Helix, Tragus, Conch, or other ear piercings, it can also become part of a unique ear styling.
As the size and shape of this cartilage area vary from person to person, not every ear is suitable for the same placement or jewellery. Before the procedure, our piercers assess your ear anatomy and help you select the ideal position and suitable premium titanium starter jewellery.
CARE
The healing time for an Antitragus piercing is approximately 2–4 months.
For a smooth healing process, please follow these guidelines:
- Do not go swimming, use a sauna, or visit a tanning salon for the first two weeks after getting pierced.
- Until fully healed, do not remove, change, or rotate the jewellery, and do not treat the piercing with alcohol-based products.
- Always wash your hands thoroughly before caring for a fresh piercing.
- Use an alcohol-free disinfectant and an anti-inflammatory aftercare product twice daily.
- Every 2–3 days, apply a sterile 0.9% saline compress for approximately 10 minutes. This supports healing and helps remove dried blood and discharge. If necessary, use a sterile cotton swab or sterile gauze.
- Do not sleep on the jewellery until the piercing has fully healed. Make sure that nothing puts pressure on or irritates it, such as a hat or headphones. Keep any objects that regularly come into contact with the piercing clean as well.
- If a healed piercing later becomes inflamed, consult a professional to discuss the appropriate treatment and whether a jewellery change may be necessary. Do not postpone this for several days—prompt care makes the issue easier to treat.
- If you have any questions or notice anything unusual during healing, contact us immediately.
