Just one or both tregus piercing?

Just that really. I’m wanting to get a tregus piercing (or 2) and can’t decide. What do you think looks better?

I just have one and think it looks better that way!

I have one tragus and a forward helix one side
And a daith on the other

(Forward Helix are little gits to heal)

Personally one tragus is enough because the ear phones can be a nuisance

My conch is an absolute git. Took forever to heal I almost gave up and threw it away!

Daith, snug and flat piercing no issues

Same here….forward helix still isn’t quite healed after 7 months, way longer than the tragus

Thanks, I was erring towards just one. And a couple of helix’s on the same ear. I had 2 many year but they have long since healed. I just have 3 lobe piercings in each ear now.
DH thinks I’m having a mid life crisis suddenly wanting piercings at the age of 45 😂

My DH mid life crisis is tattoos . I have no issues at all , all well done , well placed , his choice etc and I have my own (one) tattoo.

Probably best to get one tragus then let it heal , trying to sleep with new piercings on both sides would be a challenge ! Then decide if you want to go for the second one .
I found my forward helix/daith/tragus were not painful having them done at all .
DD had her nose pierced and said it was the most stinging one .

I might get my forward helix changed , it's now nearly three years old so I'm going to look for ideas .

Oh and @EdinaTheConfessor
There's threads under the "Tattoos" bit also about piercings so lots of advice there Smile
