Antitragus Piercing
The antitragus is the triangular flap of ear, sitting above the lobe, opposite of the tragus. Depending on the anatomy of each unique ear, the antitragus piercing may be a difficult and not recommended for a novice. If this is your ideal location, our piercer will work with you to achieve the pierce.
Healing time: 9 – 12 months

Tragus ear piercings are an incredibly appealing body adornment, since they can be seen from any angle. The position exactly opposite is similarly prominent. An anti-tragus ear piercing sits on the other side of the opening of the ear canal and is the perfect counterpart to the tragus piercing .

Anti-tragus healing and aftercare with SABOTEUR After Care
You can buy your anti-tragus piercing in one of our SABOTEUR stores – but we recommend you also get it pierced there. Our professional piercers are masters of their craft and lead you through the piercing ceremony and the aftercare process. They provide you with a set of guidelines you should follow. This ensures that your healing process goes well and that your piercing becomes a beautiful part of you.
Our piercers use a sterile needle to pierce the anti-tragus piercing. They push it through the cartilage which is thick, hard and full of nerves. The piercing process involves high pressure, which is why it can cause pain. After the piercing process, a healing time of 9 to 12 months is required. In order for this healing process to go smoothly, we provide you with the following care instructions:
- Use our aftercare products for your wound to heal completely.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before cleaning or caring for your wound. Do not touch the piercing when doing so.
- Apply the aftercare product on the front and back – gently and thoroughly.
- Please avoid using warm water when washing your hair and carefully wipe the piercing dry with a cotton stick.
- You may discover some yellow-colored discharge around your piercing, which is normal to a certain extent. We recommend you do not remove it.
- Please carefully style your hair and keep any hair or styling products away from your piercing.
- Be careful when slipping clothing over your head.
- We recommend you sleep on a soft pillow or on a travel neck pillow.
A barbell or labret are great options for a new anti-tragus piercing. The piercers in our stores are happy to advise you in order to find the right solution for you.
