Snug Piercing

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

Snug piercings are performed through the mid-cartilage ridge of the ear, and are extremely anatomy dependant. These piercings are typically performed with a curved or straight barbell and need to be significantly longer initially, to accommodate swelling. These piercings tend to swell a lot. We will only pierce one side at a time, to ensure proper healing and limit migration & irritation or healing issues. *These are considered Advanced Piercings - Healing typically takes 12-24 months to fully heal, and healing 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!) ❤ Checkups are highly recommended around 8-10 weeks to ensure the healing process is going well ❤ Checkups on piercings performed by our studio are always free! ❤ Downsizing the extra room on the curved barbell is HIGHLY recommended, around 8-10 weeks. ❤ The cost of this varies depending on the piece chosen, but starts at around $20 per curved titanium barbell shaft. ❤ There is no service fee for downsizing the length, with the purchase of jewelry 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 $60 per piece & goes up from there.
