    Hope I spelt that right. Think I did. Anyway, I've noticed an increased number of people with their tragghuses pierced lately and I thought I'd try get my own slant on it. I was wondering would it be possible to get it pierced, stretched and plugged. Nothing too big obviously, around say 4 0r 5mm. Anybody know if I can do this? Please no links to bmezine or anything as they don't go down well with my computer. Any information people?

    I've seen it done, they stretch more than you'd think.

    Oh right, thats becomming a poplar piercing,
    that one looks to have healed up great, I've seen a lot of people with it done and it does be still very very swollen and kinda purple/red
    Is it an overall sore piercing?
    ugh just rad you wanted to get it stretched.. wouldn't like to see what thats like.

    It would probably be quite sore as there's cartilage there but I haven't noticed any poorly healed ones. eth0, how much do they stretch? Would 5mm be fairly normal? I haven't seen it done before.

    bleeds a good bit but alround nice one to get done
    takes a good while to heal

    mine was fairly easy to heal. if you were gonna stretch it you'd want to wait a few months in between stretching, otherwise it could flare up real bad at each stretch.

    you could get a 4mm dermal punch if your tragus is big enough.

    Yeah but I don't think I could handle the pain. I was thinking gradual stretching over a few months.

    Are you going to get it stretched? If so I'd love to hear how you got on and what it was like.

    Pixie: For me it was surprisingly painless. Although it was a little, um, uncomfortable while the needle was going through that amount of cartilage! But it is one of my favourites.
