If you put a stud on the piece of cartilage on the front of your ear - where it attaches to your head - what would you have pierced?

The tragus is the small nub of cartilage that juts out where your ear attaches to the side of your face. Because it's made of a thin piece of flexible cartilage, there isn't as much thick tissue filled with nerves, so it doesn't hurt as much to pierce.
