Conch

The conch piercing is a distinctive and stylish ear piercing located in the cartilage of the ear. Here’s what you need to know:

Location: The conch piercing is positioned in the central area of the ear's cartilage, specifically in the conch shell, which is the large, curved area that resembles the shape of a conch shell. It can be done in the inner conch (deeper part) or outer conch (closer to the ear canal).

Healing Time: Typically takes about 6 to 9 months to fully heal. The healing process may vary depending on individual factors and adherence to aftercare instructions.

Pain Level: The pain level is moderate. It is generally considered less painful than some other cartilage piercings, though discomfort during and after the procedure is normal.

Aftercare: Proper aftercare is essential for healing. Regular cleaning with saline solution, avoiding touching or twisting the jewelry, and keeping the area dry are crucial to prevent infections and ensure a smooth healing process.
