The term ‘Snonch’ is a portmanteau (mash-up) of the names ‘conch’ and ‘snug’, as the snonch lies directly in between these two areas. 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 anatomy of the ear.
Sleeping on the piercing isn’t recommended while healing as it will drastically reduce your success rate, as well as increasing your chance of scarring.
