    Reply Contact
    if i got a surface bar right next to my tragus, would that count as an ear piercing or a facial piercing. also, is there a specific name for it or is it just called a vertical surface tragus

    It's could probably fall into either category. Is there a reason you need to classify it?

    theyre [also] called "sideburn" piercings i believe.

    those look like this:

    i always thought a vertical tragus was this:

    but now that im looking more through the bme galleries more people are calling it a vertical tragus. am i wrong? i dont get why itd be called that if its not going through your tragus. Confused

    I've never heard it referred to as a sideburn, and I don't think I like it. I've heard it called a forward tragus though.

    I call it a vertical surface tragus, and if I were an employer I'd probably classify it as an ear piercing since it's much closer to the ear and could be hidden by hair if it's long enough.

    My jobs dress code prohibits facial piercings. My manager has made it clear to me that she is graciously classifying it as an ear piercing because I know what I'm doing at work.

    so would it be better to get it done with a surface bar, or 2 microdermals?
