This is the swelled up piercing with the original stud in it. My piercer said it was not infected or anything. When I got the stud changed out it bled ALOT for about two or three days.
***TRAGUS UPDATE***
I've had my Tragus pierced for almost three weeks now. It's been a rough first few weeks... I was pierced with either a 16 or 18 gauge stud with a flat back. The stud was very short and didn't allow much room to accomadte for the swelling. After about a week or so, the swelling got really bad. It was to the point where I almost took it out because of the pain I was in! I called my piercer and he said I could come in and he would put in a longer stud for free. So I went in the next day and got that done ASAP! Oh my! I did not know what pain I was about to endure!! The process of changing the jewelry hurt ten times worse than when I initially got it pierced, since there was so much built up pressure from the short stud. I have a moderate pain tolerance but this was pretty bad! When all that tugging and pulling was finally over, he said to come back in a week or so once the swelling goes down and he'd put the original stud back in. He gave me the stud and sent me on my way. I don't think I want to go through anything like that again, so I'm just gonna keep this longer stud in for awhile. What if it swelled again? Then I would be back at square one.
This is my Tragus with the new jewelry in. The swelling is completely gone, and there is no redness or irritation around it anymore.
Peace!
