Have you heard of the piercing conch? A real heartthrob, neither subtle nor tough. One growing demand for the conch is definitely there and rightly so! In this blog post you will read all about this heart thief and how the conch piercing conquers our hearts.
If conch makes you think of a seashell, you are already in the right direction. The direct translation of conch will mean about the same as seashell. But in the case of a piercing, this is more the auricle.
The piercing sits flat in the middle of your cartilage, in your auricle. You have a choice between different types of conch piercings, also partly depending on your ear anatomy.
How Long Does It Take For Piercings To Close?
When you look up conch piercing, you will often come across the inner conch piercing. This is located in the middle of your inner-cartilage. A beautiful, subtle addition to your ear that completes your look!
Your piercing will be approximately 6 - 9 months need to heal. Each cartilage piercing will take about the same time to heal. Of course, it depends on the person. Some heal a little faster than others. Don't worry, if you follow the aftercare tips from our licensed piercers then there is nothing to worry about! Are you not listening to our Anke, Vicky and Bloe? Then we'll come and pull your ears... Just kidding, this wouldn't be good for your piercing either.
Getting a piercing like this looks painful but how painful is it really? Appearances can be deceiving i.e. piercings look more painful than they really are. Pain is a subjective subject, it is difficult to describe it because it is really up to you personally. Your best friend can give it a 7/10 while your girl next door gives it a 2/10. It's up to you to describe it!
What Size Earrings Are Ideal For Conch?
When setting a conch piercing, it will be best to start with a larger rod. To account for swelling, this is really a must. After 6-8 weeks you can come back for a downsize, smaller rod for free.
A conch piercing ring is only possible at a orbital piercing. But again, an orbital piercing does not fit every ear anatomy and hence not everyone can wear a conch piercing ring. Fortunately, there are a host of other options to complete your ear artwork.
Still want to see if such a conch piercing suits you? Or one of those crazy, cool orbital piercings? Our piercers Anke, Bloe or Vicky are happy to guide you through the whole process. Make an appointment or drop by at one of our our shops. See you soon!
