What To Know Before Getting Your Conch Piercing

What is a Conch Piercing?

The conch piercing is situated in the centre of your ear cartilage, and resembles the shape of a conch shell. There are two placements for a conch piercing, the inner conch is the small, curved area closer to the ear canal or the outer conch, which is the larger and flatter area of the ear.

Cartilage piercings should be done with a needle which reduces the risk of infection and ensures placement and healing.

How to Style Your Conch Piercing

The conch piercing is the perfect piercing to update your look or add to your earring stack. Once your conch piercing has healed you can wear a wide variety of earrings, from barbells to studs and hoop earrings.

Always check the sizing of your piercing and diameter of the jewellery. Always use a professional piercing technician and seek advice to find out if a conch piercing is suitable for you.
