It’s a versatile choice that can be subtle with a stud or make a bold statement with a hoop. * * * ## Location and Types - **Inner Conch** – Pierced through the bowl-like cartilage close to the ear canal, usually styled with a neat stud for a subtle look. - **Outer Conch** – Placed on the flatter outer cartilage, often chosen for hoops that hug the ear’s edge, creating a striking statement. ## Jewellery Options - **Studs** – Popular for inner conch piercings, typically using a straight barbell. - **Hoops** – Perfect for outer conch piercings, allowing for a circular ring that sits around the ear’s edge. * * * ## Healing and Aftercare As a cartilage piercing, a conch piercing requires a longer healing period than a standard lobe. Healing usually takes **6 to 12 months**. - Clean regularly with saline solution. - Avoid pressure from sleeping on the piercing. - Refrain from wearing earbuds or headphones during healing. - Expect mild to moderate discomfort – typically around 6/10 on the pain scale. * * * ## Why Choose a Conch Piercing?

At Face Facts in Buxton, your Conch appointment begins with a short consultation to understand your needs. The service is carried out with professional care, and we explain each step so you know what to expect. How long does a conch piercing take to heal? Conch piercings take longer to heal than lobe piercings, usually between 6 and 12 months. Healing can be quicker or slower depending on your aftercare and lifestyle. What jewellery can I wear in a conch piercing? You can wear studs, barbells or hoops. Inner conch piercings are usually styled with studs, while outer conch piercings look great with hoops that hug the ear’s edge. How do I care for a new conch piercing? Clean the piercing daily with saline solution, avoid sleeping on it, and don’t use earbuds or headphones during the healing period. Avoid twisting or touching the jewellery unnecessarily. Can I change my conch piercing jewellery straight away? No, it’s best to wait until your piercing has fully healed before changing jewellery. This can take 6–12 months. Changing too early can cause irritation or infection.
