I like the cute tiny ring in tragus piercing but you can also go for studs or loop.

Anti-Tragus
Anti-tragus is done on the outer side raised fold of the cartilage of the ear. It may look similar to helix piercing to you.
But there is a slight difference between helix and anti-tragus. It is done on the raised cartilage outline of the ear and helix can be done by taking whole cartilage outline.
Most of the people don’t call it anti-tragus, almost everyone gets confused with helix.
Wear a cute beautiful ring coz I like it. Otherwise, you have many other options of jewelry for your tragus and anti-tragus piercing.
