#tragus #piercing #DesMoines In Episode 85, DaVo, a Professional Piercer since 1994, covers the Pros and Cons of Surface Tragus Piercings aka Sideburn Piercing or Vertical Tragus Piercing. I aka DaVo have been a professional body piercer and the owner of the Axiom Body Piercing Studio in Des Moines, Iowa since 1994. My focus on education and helping clients make safe and informed decisions on getting pierced has always been a large part of my business practices and services. With my website and increasingly on youtube, I hope to expand and inform others outside of my small part of the world. I always encourage questions and comments, so if you have one, please comment.  Show Notes: Pros: 1:53 Rare and unusual piercing Experimental Proves a tolerance to piercings Will be left with an interesting scar You didn’t want that money anyway Cons: 3:49 High risk of rejection Can not sleep on that side Closes quickly Can affect employment Can not remove the jewelry Things to Look for: 5:41 Pre-piercing consultation involving risks Piercer with Experience with Surface to Surface piercings Surface to Surface Barbell, not Curved Barbell How much movement there is in the area Piercing Experience: 7:55 May involve massaging the area to loosen tissue can be slower than other piercings Can be more painful Healing: 8:52 Reactions to trauma 3-5 days Redness slight bleeding swelling heat/fever tenderness to the touch Monitor for signs of rejections redness and drying out of the area movement of the piercing the skin becomes translucent or seeing the jewelry through the skin Living with the piercing: 10:35 The jewelry can never be changed.
