At first I thought it was your wang...that scared me!

I'm not big on body piercings- but I guess your tragus is better than Mr. Johnson if you know what I mean. :Q

toph99, it's your tragus (heheh, that sounds funny. Kinda like the, "Aherm...ummm...sir? Your epidermis is showing," joke) but, what posessed you to get that pierced? I'm kinda confused why people get body piercings. :confused:

Owwwweeeeee!!!! I just looked at that picture, and I don't know about you guys, but I have a pretty girthy tragus. That's a lot of cartilage to punch through. It makes me cringe thinking about having something punch through that.

Whatever floats your boat.

i have a thick tragus too, which was why i heard the crunching sound when the needle popped through :) you're so high on endorphines that you don't feel a thing :p

I've heard it hurts like hell since it's all cartilage, especially for the next few days. I think it's one of the coolest looking piercings though, so it's cool by me :)
