How long was your tragus piercing sore?

I'm considering getting it done but I'm just wondering how long it will be sore. For example, how long until it's generally healed enough to use Q-tips again, or wrap my head in a towel after showering?

I have my cartilage pierced in one ear but it was so long ago I don't remember how long it was sore afterward!

    Mine stayed swollen and sore for like a month, after the swelling went down it really wasn't that bad unless I slept on it. They can take up to 14 months to fully heal, and can stay swollen and sore for up to 3 months. Everyone is a little different.
