Hi everyone. I do contact martial arts and often wear a helmet. I’m really interested in getting a snug piercing because it looks incredibly cool and unique. Could you tell me how vulnerable this piercing is to external influences? Will I be able to combine training with healing, or will any accidental pressure on my ear make life hell? Should I cover it with a bandage during training?
Combining a fresh snag with contact sports is a bad idea, I can tell you from experience. Even with a bandage, any pressure from a helmet or an accidental hit during training will cause excruciating pain and reopen the wound. Repeated injuries can even cause the cartilage to become deformed.
I got a snug piercing from the guys at this team and was absolutely thrilled with the quality of their work. You can see examples on https://thefalltattooing.com/pages/snug-piercing , but it looks even better in person. The piercing was perfectly straight, the instrument was completely sterile, and the initial jewelry was perfectly matched to the thickness of my antihelix. The professionalism is top-notch, and thanks to their advice, the recovery period is completely painless.
