Yowch, snug piercings — the only piercing named after a clothing line — hurt badly enough without any extra tricks… but I quite like this snug orbital placement that Jennn had done by JD at Evolution Tattoo in Santa Rosa.

- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

would it be easier to heal with 2 pieces of jewelry, and risk not-quite-perfect final fit, or this way?

Personally I’d say this way, but some may disagree.

like it. But would put in two single piercings to let it heal first.

Faye – My feeling is that with a finicky placement like this that it’s going to heal better using this jewelry initially because doing it with separate bars is going to leave something that’s going to require secondary adjustment and could actually develop problems when the jewelry is swapped out.
Rusty – I wouldn’t say that it makes a whole lot of difference. These might as well be straight bars; the curve is such that it’s depth-wise identical to a straight bar.
Kenevin – Why do you say that? I’ve seen these heal just fine.

i like that a lot. during the first week of healing my snug, i was suffering from a bad cold (getting pierced was a stupid idea but hey ho, i survived) and it was horrendous pain. it put me off having another snug, nevermind an orbital. but it does look utterly gorgeous.
& i would personally heal it with this jewelry.

I’m going with commenter #9. TOTALLY not going to heal. Snugs are enough of a pain in the ass when it’s just one piercing with one piece of jewelry.
