About metal allergies

Allergic reactions from plated products are caused when corrosion allows the underlying metal to migrate to the surface. Because the barbells sold by PICOLLET use only 18-karat gold (K18) and platinum (Pt850), you don't have to worry about allergic reactions caused by such leaching.

Will it get in the way when wearing earphones?

Whether a tragus piercing affects earphones is a concern for many people. However, if you use a “labret stud barbell” of the proper length, the piercing will rarely get in the way even when wearing earphones. Labret stud barbells are designed to sit flat against the inside of the ear, so they are less likely to interfere with earphones and are comfortable to wear. This lets you enjoy the appeal of a tragus piercing without affecting your daily life or music listening.

Where is the cutest placement for a tragus piercing?

The ideal tragus placement varies from person to person, but in general, placing the piercing hole in the center of the tragus or slightly above the center gives a cuter look. This placement can be adjusted according to the shape of the ear and each person’s facial features, allowing the tragus piercing to blend naturally with the ear’s contours. In particular, placing it toward the upper part of the tragus also makes it easier to enjoy pairing it with other piercings. Choosing a placement that suits your face and ear shape creates a better overall balance and makes it even more attractive.

The pain when piercing the tragus varies depending on each person’s sensitivity to pain and the thickness of the tragus, but in general, it is often felt as mild pain or discomfort. The tragus area is relatively thick and contains cartilage, so there may be some pain during piercing. However, the pain is usually brief and is not unbearable. Using the proper technique can help minimize the pain.

To pierce the tragus safely, professional treatment at a clinic is recommended rather than doing it yourself. At a clinic, a professional piercer can make the hole in the correct position and with the proper angle, greatly reducing the risk of mistakes. It is also important to have the procedure done in a hygienic environment to minimize the risk of infection. By choosing a trusted clinic, you can enjoy your tragus piercing with peace of mind.

Please pay attention to the following three points when choosing.

① Parts that put less strain on the piercing hole

When choosing a first piercing, we recommend parts with a “snag-free design,” “small size,” and “lightweight,” as these put less strain on the piercing hole. In particular, being snag-free is important because it helps avoid piercing problems that can happen in daily life. For your first piercing, please choose a part with a smooth, simple design.

② A barbell that fits the piercing hole

It is also important to choose a barbell with a length that matches the size of the piercing hole. A barbell that is too short puts pressure on the hole, while one that is too long is more likely to snag. Choosing the correct length helps maintain the comfort and health of your tragus piercing. Be sure to choose the right size until the piercing hole has fully healed.

③ Materials that suit your body

Gold, platinum, medical-grade stainless steel, and titanium are recommended because they are less likely to cause allergies. PICOLLET barbells are available in two types: gold (K18) and platinum (Pt850).
