Does Tragus Piercing Cause Black Spots?

Hi! I am considering taking a tragus piercing, but i am afraid of the possible black spots it leaves ones i decide to get it out (in the future). Will the piercing become a black spot or will it just leave a little hole, just as my earrings piercings?

Hello,

Black spots may develop in the immediate post-procedure phase but will resolve spontaneously in a few weeks. Make sure that the procedure should be done from a center with good sterile and safety protocol followed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
