Surface Tragus Piercing

This piercing is done vertically through the skin adjacent to the cartilage of the tragus. Therefore it is also known by the name vertical tragus surface piercing. It looks extremely cute with the ends of barbells sticking out of it. It is nothing but a surface piercing done at the side of the tragus of the ear. Since the jewelry lies just under the skin, it suffers from a high rejection rate since the body perceives it as a foreign object.
