Snonch

The term ‘Snonch’ is lovingly coined by the unique placement of this piercing, as the snonch lies directly between the conch and snug area. Although many people have this structure, not all are suited for the piercing due to low clearances behind the ear.

Low-profile jewellery is recommended for this piercing, preferably flat to match the ear’s anatomy.

Sleeping on the piercing isn’t recommended while healing, as it will drastically reduce your success rate and increase your chance of scarring. Because of this, we will not perform a cartilage piercing on your ear if you have a piercing healing on the opposite side.
