Conch Piercing: Location and Healing

Posted on January 21, 2023February 27, 2023 by Dee

Ah, the conch piercing. This inner ear adornment is a head-turner and a statement piece that is sure to make a statement (or two). Here are some things you should know before you get your conch pierced.

First things first, let’s talk about location. Conch piercings are located in the center of the ear, where the ear cartilage is at its thickest. And let’s just say this piercing is not for the faint of heart. It’s a bold choice that requires commitment and courage, but we promise it’s worth it. Just make sure to choose a reputable piercer with plenty of experience in conch piercings to avoid any unwanted complications.

Now, let’s talk about the healing process. The conch piercing is a bit more complicated than your average ear lobe piercing, with a longer healing time of about 6-12 months. And let’s just say this piercing requires patience and persistence. You’ll need to clean the area regularly and avoid touching it with dirty hands to avoid any infections. And while it’s tempting to change your jewelry frequently, wait until the piercing is fully healed to avoid any unwanted issues.

But let’s not forget about the fun part: the jewelry! With conch piercings, the options are endless. From simple studs to bold hoops, the choice is yours. A captive bead ring or circular barbell can add a unique twist to your look if you’re feeling adventurous. Just make sure to choose jewelry that is the proper size and gauge for your piercing to avoid unwanted complications.

Now, let’s talk about the cons. The conch piercing can be prone to infections and other complications if proper aftercare is not followed. And let’s not forget about the dreaded keloid. Keloids are raised scars that can form around the piercing, making it look unsightly and uncomfortable. So make sure to keep the area clean and follow aftercare instructions to avoid any unwanted issues.

The conch piercing is a bold and beautiful choice for those who are looking to make a statement. Just make sure to choose a reputable piercer, follow proper aftercare instructions, and have patience. Who knows, you might just become the next conch piercing icon. And remember, don’t take the “ouch” out of the conch – it’s all part of the journey!
