Faux Snug Piercing
Traditional Snug piercings are very anatomy depending and finding the correct anatomy is rare. They also have a long recovery time, and swells up a lot during healing!! Because of the tricky recovery period, a “Faux Snug Piercing” can be considered instead.
Conch Piercing + Helix Piercing
“Faux Snug Piercing” is great alternative to the conventional Snug. It is basically two separate piercings: a conch piercing positioned parallel with an outer helix piercing, to give the illusion of a regular Snug, but without the troubles of massive swelling and anatomy dependancy.
Both piercings can also be styled differently to give this piercing a lot more versatility with jewelry than a conventional Snug (which can only wear a curved barbell).
Faux Snug Piercing allows more flexibility with anatomy and jewelry
some more examples of “Faux Snug Piercings” not by me…
Sophie’s Purrr-fect ‘Snug’ / Faux Snug piercing set up is a dream. These are a great alternative to those either not suited to a traditional snug piercing, or wanting to achieve the fitted look straight away. Much easier to heal, much tidier, and tonnes of versatility.. but the best part… you’d never know it was actually a conch and a helix!
Faux Snug fresh from today for Alex, I cannot get over how cool this looks! ✨Styled by the wonderful samanthakay228 featuring a Rose cut Citrine ultra halo from sleepinggoddessjewelry and gold bead from bodygems done luckysnoho Boston! Also peep that Daith I did months back healing beautifully ✨

This client is glowing! I pierced their faux snug (conch + helix) and rook piercing with 18k yellow gold and titanium. That rook features 3 sand blasted baguette czs, flanked by solid gold balls. Also pictured is a 7 month old daith in 14k yellow gold just thriving by the homie kiraleighh. Styled by golden_turmeric. Cartilage piercings

I know she looks like a snug but she a FAKE!
A faux snug is spectacular, it has all the charm of a snug without the healing complications that can sometimes go with it
or for those who’s anatomy isn’t suitable for a traditional Snug piercing.
Either way, being fake in this instance is a winner.

Here’s a #fauxsnug piercing from the vaults. This particular client did have the anatomy required for a traditional snug, but after doing their research about the healing process, they decided they’d be better suited to a conch and helix instead. We positioned them to look like.. you guessed.. a snug. Faux snug!

I really enjoyed doing this faux snug piercing from a couple weeks ago 🤩 this is a fresh conch and mid helix piercings placed in line with each other to give the visual effect of a snug piercing ✨ this is a great alternative for anyone that doesn’t have suitable anatomy for a snug and should be much quicker/easier to heal!

I LOVE when clients come in looking to do something fun and open to suggestions. This client had a vision in mind for something unique for her ears. She already had the existing helix piercings and they were very well healed. We decided to add these two conch piercings to create the perfect illusion.

Kate originally wanted a snug piercing but being that they are very difficult to heal, we instead added a #conch piercing to compliment her outer helix. This gives the appearance of a snug piercing. We also added in a cute little #Tragus piercing. All with Swaorvski CZ titanium jewelry

I’ve been doing some really cool piercings recently and I’m so thankful for clients who trust me to do interesting and awesome things! ❤️ This is known as a Faux Snug piercing. Snug piercings look super cool, but they’re so difficult to heal that I tend not to do them. That’s where the Faux Snug comes in! It’s actually a conch and a helix piercing, positioned in such a way that it looks like a snug without the hassle of healing one. This client chose two 3mm white opals from neometaljewelry and I’m such a big fan of how this looks! 😍 safepiercing safepiercing_uk thatsthepointuk ukpiercer_spotlight piercer.babes #fauxsnug #fauxsnugpiercing #snugpiercing #interestingpiercing #yarm #inkhaustattoo #neometal #conchpiercing #helixpiercing #safepiercing #safepiercinguk #appmember #ukappmember #piercingsatinkhaus #spotlightpiercer #thatsthepointuk #piercerbabes #stocktonontees
Faux Snug by _piercercaitlin
We opted to the faux for the choice of dainty flush ends initially and smoother healing in comparison to a traditional Snug. Components are 14kt White Gold `Celestial` ends from buddhajewelryofficial

If you don`t have the suited anatomy for a traditional Snug piercing, conch & helix piercings can be placed to mimic one & this is commonly known as a Faux Snug 🌸 Snug piercings can be notoriously tricky to heal even for seasoned piercees, so a Faux Snug is a much more manageable alternative! 🌸 Here`s a happily healing & downsized one I made using junipurrjewelry white gold pieces, plus a well healed helix fitted with an anatometalinc anatometaluk Tiffany in titanium 🌸

Some fresh piercings I performed for mikaila.esmaiel this morning. Top photo is fresh forward helix topped off with a 2mm clear prong set. Then I absolutely nailed this Faux Snug, composed of a conch and helix piercing to give the illusion of a snug. Snug piercings can be extremely difficult to heal, some cases taking 2-3 years of you`re even lucky enough for it to work out. This is a safer and easier approach, with a beautiful result. All jewelry is made from ASTM-F136 Implant grade titanium from the homies at infinitebodyvancouver All of my in house basics are supplied by them, and I`m a proud member of their Pro team.

This faux snug setup was too fun! Most folks don’t have great anatomy for snug piercings and those who do often don’t want to sign up for such a difficult and lengthy heal. And that means this is the perfect alternative! A conch and a helix arranged to give the look of a snug while being much much easier to heal and offering more variety in jewelry! Styled by countergoblin and poked by me with anatometalinc .

Conch + helix featuring classic titanium beads give the look of a through-and-through (upper) snug piercing!
Swipe for a back view that illustrates initial jewelry length>downsized (fitted)posts at about 4 weeks.
Snug piercings are HIGH MAINTENANCE! Even when anatomy is *ideal*, the piercing is expertly placed with high quality jewelry and proper aftercare these little buggers still tend to get chronically irritated and form pockets of fluid that regularly drain, sometimes even out the back🥺
2 lower maintenance piercings giving snug vibes is typically what we recommend for folks interested in this aesthetic ✨

Here`s a sweet lil faux snug I got to do last week!
Unlike a usual snug piercing that goes horizontally through that ridge of cartilage, a faux rook is actually two separate piercings that give the illusion of a usual snug.
Thank you for the trust with this! Pierced fresh using thatsthepointuk blades at fourleafpiercing

Fun little ear upgrade for this lovely client! I did not pierce this faux snug but we did add a rose gold tiny moon with a genuine diamond, a rose gold bead, and a lovely rose gold beaded chain to attach the two pieces!! We also pierced a super cute higher lobe for her as well!! I am currently booked up until next Wednesday so call and schedule your appointments quickly !! goodlifeakron

I found this unposted project in my photos today!
Here are the details 💎
This one is all about shapes and illusions. ✨
We added two lobe piercings to their existing anti-tragus piercing, creating a triangle. Next, a mid helix and conch piercing were done to give the illusion of a snug piercing. Traditional snug piercings are very anatomy dependent and notoriously difficult to heal! All piercings were done with lovely Paradise Shine gems from neometaljewelry #neometal #neometaljewelry #earpiercings #piercingproject #lobepiercing #lobepiercings #tragus #conchpiercing #conch #helixpiercing #helixpiercings #helix #antitragus #snugpiercing #snug #fauxsnug #piercerbabes #piercerbabe #neilmedpiercingaftercare #batonrougepiercer #batonrougepiercings

Brie came in to get a snug piercing, but I talked her into a faux snug. A snug is really hard to heal and never happy. A faux snug is the safest way to get the same illusion. The faux snug is actually two separate labret post piercings to appear to be a curved barbell. Those were done with 16 guage titanium posts with 2.5 m hot pink opals. I loved this project. Thank you for allowing me to pierce you. #App #AppMember #piercing #safepiercing #fauxsnug #earpiercing #bodypiercing #tapering #cartilagepiercing #awesomepiercings #allthepiercings #piercingoftheday #bodyjewelry #legitjewelry #implantgrade #titaniumjewelry #tattoocharlies #lexington #lexky #kentuckypiercers #lexingtonpiercer #kyproud #tattoocharlies #spreadthelex #ilovemyjob #piercingbychad #chadpierces #piercer #piercinglife
