Snug piercings are a type of body piercing located on the ear's outer rim. You can get snug piercing and snug piercing jewelry at any reputable establishment specializing in body piercing.
Snug piercings are popular, and once healed, they are comfortable, relatively easy to hide if necessary, and require minimal care. They can be used to create unique piercing looks and styles,
employing both the snug piercing hoop and vertical snug piercing to switch things up.
The snug piercing is in a sensitive location, so it's essential to find a professional piercer to ensure it's done correctly. Potential piercing clients must remember that not everyone can
wear snug piercings based on the ear's anatomy, and we can help you decide if a snug piercing will work for you. In most cases, it's all about finding the right location!

Piercing Location – A snug piercing is achieved by perforating the ear’s cartilage through the antihelix or anti helical fold, located on the ridge between the inner and outer
parts of the ear. The location of the piercing will vary due to the individual shapes of each person’s ear.
Jewelry Options – Your piercer will guide you through the exciting process of selecting your favourite piece of jewelry. A curved barbell is the jewelry style used for snug piercings. Black
Line Studio does not advise removal of jewelry for at least 8 to 12 weeks post your piercing service. Whether before or after the piercing is completely healed, when it comes to changing the jewelry,
we recommend that you consult with your piercer.
Snug Piercing Aftercare
Aftercare – When following Black Line Studio’s after care protocol, the healing time for a snug piercing is typically
8 to 12 months.
Snug piercings can take quite some time to heal, so you'll want to speak directly with your piercer about which cleaning method they recommend, as not all piercers advise the same process. Once
you've discussed cleaning tools and products, the general approach will be the same for everyone.
You should rinse your piercing twice daily and follow up with the cleaning product recommended by your piercer. Pat dry with a fresh paper towel (nothing fabric) to keep unwanted bacteria from
creeping into your piercing location.
Even when cleaning your snug piercing regularly, it's crucial to know that you may experience side effects or symptoms that are entirely normal. Snug and conch piercing clients should expect
swelling, soreness, throbbing, and redness for the first few days or weeks after the piercing.
Snug piercings tend to swell more than other cartilage piercings, which can cause discomfort. Still, these symptoms, when mild, are no cause for concern.
