Snug Piercings Nov 8th 2012, 11:03 Definition: Snug piercings can pretty much reside anywhere along the vertical inner cartilage ridge of the ear that runs parallel to the rim, which is also called the anti-helix. It's very closely related to the rook, which resides along the upper horizontal plane of the same ridge. Most anti-helix ridges are shallow and can only accommodate a very small snug piercing. A micro curved barbell or CBR is required to gather as much cartilage as possible within the piercing, and a skilled artist is needed to create a piercing that doesn't put undue stress on each side of the ridge. Incorrect balance can cause irreversible damage to the cartilage. Depending on the depth and thickness of your anti-helix, you could go as small as 20 gauge for your snug, and in most cases I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a 16 gauge. The length of the barbell or size of the CBR should be determined by your piercer to ensure proper placement and balance.
