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.

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.

I have never seen any of these heal completely, but good luck

I’m sure it’ll heal – but chances are the scarring won’t be pretty. Unless she’s one of those freaky people who can heal damn near anything without a scar.

I would have to agree with Manada, I’m sure it will heal as well, just take a painfully long time to do so. It does appear to have some hypertrophic scarring on the top hole though.

I would have done it with 2 2mm pieces and then swapped out for a 1.3mm piece. That way it will still adjust on it’s own and you get to avoid all that scarring. Just my 2 cents though.

Cucuy: math is a bit off. 2mm = 12ga and 1.2mm = 16ga and 1.6mm = 14ga…But I’m just assuming that perhaps your finger slipped and hit 3 instead of 2 with that haha
My personal concern is the diameter of the circular barbell in regards to the depth/shape of the pathways. There’s very little excess showing in the circular barbell which means the majority of it is passing through the snug area. So my main concern is the angles, swelling allowance, etc.
Although I kinda agree with Cucuy on this one whereas doing it at 12ga, let it heal for a bit and then put in either a 14ga or 16ga circular barbell….Or even make a custom shaped circular barbell after that is rounded on the inner portion and then curves out a bit to correlate with the shape of using curved bars,etc.

My snug healed awesomely – it was actually the one cartilage piercing I’ve had that healed quickly, smoothly and without too much pain. The swelling even went down way quick, even though about a week after I had it done, I came down with sinusitis and basically overdosed myself on painkillers. It was also way less painful to have done than, say, my anti-tragus…

Awww come on, I think it looks good, and there’s no reason why it wouldn’t heal if looked after properly!
We’ve all seen stranger things!

Ooh man, good luck with that! I sleep on my sides so cartilage piercings like that make me cringe.

I agree with Warren.
And just because we’ve all seen the random ass piercing heal that normally shouldnt, does not mean you should count on it happening with everything else.
Unless the piercer somehow made a curved pathway for
the jewelry to follow, its going to be too much pressure
to hope for good healing. The tissue around the exit points
already look like they are having slight issues.

I see issues with the top hole. Familiar issues. Good luck though.
