Faux-Snug Piercing

Service Description, Heal Times, Photos & More...

Faux-snug piercings give the illusion of a traditional "snug" piercing, and are located along the outer mid-helix ridge, and the inner conch bowl. These tend to heal better than traditional "snug" piercings, and are less anatomy dependent. (You would not be a great candidate if your mid-helix ridge is fused to your conch bowl)These piercings are performed with studs and need to be longer initially to accommodate swelling. These piercings typically cannot be switched to rings. Unless you are a dedicated back sleeper, we suggest on only getting cartilage piercings on one ear at a time. Healing typically takes between 6-12+ months, and can vary from person to person. ❤ No submerging the piercings in bodies of water for at least 3 months after the piercing. ❤ Please do not sleep on your piercing for at least half the healing time to lessen the risk of migration & irritation (using a travel pillow while sleeping can help lessen this risk!) ❤ Checkup and/or downsizing extra length of the initial jewelry is highly recommended around 6-8 weeks to lessen the likelihood of migration, and irritation bumps. ❤ Checkups on piercings performed by our studio are always free ❤ The cost of downsizing is free, with the purchase of jewelry ($20 per post) - see your aftercare brochure for a discount on your first downsize! We use only APP Verified implant grade titanium, niobium, and/or solid 14k gold jewelry that comes with a lifetime warranty on manufacturing. (Loss is not covered) PLEASE NOTE: The listed service price does NOT include jewelry. Basic titanium jewelry for this piercing starts at $50 per piece & goes up from there. Price of jewelry varies depending on what you choose, & will be verified prior to your piercing. To see jewelry options, visit the "Shop" section of our website.
