On my recent trip home for Christmas I met up with 2/3 of my best girlfriends for breakfast. One of them had recently gotten her tragus (part of the exterior cartilage on the outside of your ear canal) pierced and I thought it was adorable. I have yet to take the plunge on getting mine pierced, but I found a satisfactory solution (at least for now) while browsing through Pintrest: making you own tragus ear cuff!
You will need:
– Scissors
– Jewelry pliers
– Flexible jewelry wire
Cut the wire about 4 inches long and bend in the middle:
Using pliers, bend the edges inward to create the top of a heart shape:
Clamp the bottom really tightly together for form a heart:
Take the bottom and bend it into a “U”. Adjust as necessary.
Your very own pain-free tragus “piercing”!
