An anti-tragus piercing is located right below where a snug placement would be, which puts it in the triangular cartilage directly above the ear lobe. It's another delicate piercing that's not quite as common as other cartilage piercings, which makes it the perfect choice for someone looking for their own custom look. But because the anti-tragus is such a small area, it does come with a bit more pain than your typical ear piercing, and can take up to a year to heal.
