Conch Jewelry: lulusbodyjewelry.com/collections/conch

my conch is my easiest piercing. interesting to hear the problems people have with them!

I love how it takes 6/9months to heel but only takes 6weeks for an open heart surgery wound to heel.. it just doesn’t make sense x

Can’t believe no one has done this - (summed up) 1. Healing - takes 6 to 9 months to heal and patience is key 2. Sleeping on it - a big no no! A lot of irritation or friction, gives a lot of problems (swelling, etc.) sleep with neck pillow 3. Getting conch stuck on it - stuck in hair, hugging others, etc. be careful doing activities! Be cautious 4. Changing jewelry - 6 to 8+ months, no redness or swelling and wait until then and you can change it out. 5. Helmets - no helmets or overhead headphones. Want to avoid friction! Bonus: wait a month before swimming - no bacteria in an open wound. No submerging water into piercing.

I got mine done mid march, and wearing masks through this pandemic is really really messing up my healing process 😒 sooo yeah

"If you're a tosser like I am" 😂😂 that means something completely different in the UK

I have conch piercings in both of my ears. It was the fastest healing one, less issues, no pain at all. Absolutely no pain sleeping on it after it healed. No issue what so ever. I do not understand the problems he's talking about at all

i have a conch and it’s so pretty but it’s so annoying to deal w sometimes

I’ve had my conch piercing for about two months. With the mandatory use of face masks when going out to public places, my piercing has become very irritated. I have figured out different ways to place the elastic on my ear to avoid the backing but it’s still just a bit annoying. Anyway, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Out of my 15 piercings this was the easiest, tied with my septum. Didnt have any of these problems, it seemed fully healed within 2 months and I slept on it every night (just because I cant control myself when I sleep) and I had zero of these problems, my most loved piercing just because it was my easiest and cutest, zero maintenance.

I like this dude giving everyone a video on piercings and he doesn’t have any.

My conch is about 5 months old; the stud I got pierced with had so much extra space, so I downsized to a 6mm stud. It feels so much better!

I had all these problems with my helix, it didnt heal for 2+ years, until I changed the jewelry to a ring, it was much easier on my ear and almost instantly healed and never had a problem again!

I used a neck pillow and kept it clean I have 19 piercings including the conch and in my experience it healed within four weeks it was the easiest healing for me never any problems for me and I find it very easy to remove although I’ve only done it twice I personally love mine!!! But too each their own!!!

Ive had my conch pierced last month and it is literally heaven it didn't even really hurt when I got it pierced, it never got caught in anything zero bumps lmao everyone is different ig

I was fine sleeping on my conch, I would say out of all my piercings, it aches the most if I ever bump it on something but I forget it’s there virtually all the time

When you show someone using a neck pillow to sleep on. I would use it like a donut. Put it the side and put your ear in the whole. It keeps the pressure off your ear. I was crazy and got my daith done on both ears at the same time. This is how I survived. I really worked well for me.

I got mine done mid February and took it out beginning of April. The piercer didn’t put a long enough bar and she didn’t put into account that I have glasses. The end of my glasses reached right to my conch piercing and I think that’s part of the reason I was in so much pain. There was huge bump on the back and I’m still not sure if it was a keloid or not but since taking it out the bump has gone down significantly. Was not worth it.

i’ve conch nd didn’t realise it was a sore piercing

I have 2 conch piercings and haven’t had any of these problems, they were my easiest piercings.

My conch is my favorite peircing, it did take a long time to heal though. It was done with a 16 gauge but I didn't like it and had it switched to 18 gauge, it seemed to heal better after that for some reason too. Now it doesn't get caught on anything, I can sleep on it and it never bothers me at all.

I've had my conch since 1994, and the piercing itself wasn't bad; it was the healing. For the first week and a half-two weeks, it hurt like a bitch!!! Kept cleaning it, and leaving it alone, bought a travel pillow, which I still use. After that time, the pain decreased dramatically. It was pierced at 14 gauge with a fairly long labret stud. I did try a ring, but really didn't like how it looked, so have been wearing 14 gauge labrets ever since. Shorter ones now, though. Never had any bumps during healing. After fully healing, no pain or any other problems with it. (Jan Griffiths).

Now bc of the corona situation my mask strings always get stuck on the back of my conch when im trying to take it off and when i wash my hair my hair gets tangled on the back as well so i agree that it gets caught 🤣 but the conch has been my fastest healing piercing!

Had 2 helixes: Had to take them off because it was really bad, it couldnt heal properly and it crooked. Had coanch and rook: Everything was and is ok and I still have them 🤔 Is it just me? Ok...

My conch piercing 3 months in isn't bad. I haven't hit any problems minus constant bruising which for me is because I have a disorder that causes bruising from so much as cleaning... My next and likely last major piercing will be a high conch helix orbital around the snug.

I have 9 piercings and my conch was by far the worst, but it’s not unbearable I could sleep on it after about a week. I’m on week 9 now and it’s still a but crusty sometimes and hurts if I knock it but I forget it’s there sometimes.

I’m going to be honest it’s my easiest piercing. I have a tragus forward helix and a rook along with three lobe piercings. I love my conch

I love my conch. I’ve never had problems with mine. In fact I forget it’s there 😂

I never had a single problem with my conch. My conch and my rook are the easiest of all my piercings. Healing was no issue with and I never notice them. Only time I notice my conch is when I switch to my hoop with the gems in it and they go through the hole... that hurts. But once it’s out for a day it’s usually back to normal no problem.

I got my conch piercing a year ago. It was pierced with a large CBR hoop and it was a nightmare! I ended up changing the earring to a curved barbell after 3 weeks and it healed soo much better. I think I had been catching it alot which didnt help. But after that it healed so much better and now I love it!

I wanna get a conch piercing soo much but I’m not sure about the painn

I’m a nurse with a conch piercing I haven’t had any issues with my stethoscope the only difference is I am a little more careful when I take it out of my ears so it doesn’t catch. The piercing is far enough off to the side that it doesn’t touch the eartips of my stethoscope at all. On that note too, I have friends with tragus piercings who say they haven’t had any issues with their stethoscope either and they can’t feel any difference🤗

Hellloo. I hope someone will see my comment. I got my conch pierced on May 1. The first 2-3 days it doesnt hurt. So i thought the healing process was so fast. I always sprayed it with alcohol. But since yesterday, May 5. It is starting to hurt and throbbing, but luckily there's no discharge or fluid coming out but its swollen. The back of my ear is swollen. The only reason i can think that why this conch piercing got swollen is I accidentally slept on that side where my conch piercing is. Or because I accidentally touched it when my hands is not clean. Pleasseee comment what to do. And i also ordered saline solution.

My conch piercing on my left ear was almost a year when I changed the earring. On my right ear was a little bit over a year. Both had a ring in each ear and were pierced different times. My left ear early December 2021 and my left on May 10th,2022. I did wanted them pierced on the same day. A gal that was behind the counter said it might cause a headache.

My piercer told me he didn’t recommend a hoop for the conch… and I can see why. My daith was pierced with a hoop and it honestly had trouble healing at first but as of now it’s fine! My conch though had a stud.

I have conch piercings on both ears. It‘s not as hard as helix healing wise. I really love it, can‘t wait to finally change it to huggies :)

I was told it would take 3 months for mine rn I am at month 2 and it feels healed and looks almost 100% healed. I sleep on mine all the time doesn't hurt. I have never had problems when touching my piercing I guess my hands are just very clean. I must be weird that those don't affect me

You gotta watch out for face masks...I kept getting it caught on my conch..very painful

my conch healed before my seconds and thirds did and i got them all done at the same time! its been 3 months now and i can sleep on my conch piercing no problem or pain or irritation hehe

No idea why people overdramatise it. When you do a piercing (any kind of piercing), you should plan to invest in it! 1) proper place 2) proper jewelry! I cannot stress the importance of proper jewelry! I had my 2nd helix, my 3rd earlobe and my tragus pierced with titanium barbell. I wish they told me that I could choose gold instead. I changed my 3rd earlobe to gold one already (myself). I feel no pain at all! My tragus and my helix still feel sensitive though and I plan to change it to gold. I had my daith done after those piercings and I straight away put a golden ring (18k). I had so far no problems with it at all. I could wear earpods after 2 days and feel no pain. As a matter of fact I understood that the material of jewelry plays an imperative role. With the conch piercing, I put a gold (18k) hoop and seriously experienced no issues! No swelling and no pain. Choose your jewelry wisely and keep urself clean (i.e. take shower) and you will be fine.

My conch was my most painful piercing but was by far the easiest one to heal

I put an opal hoop with rectangle shaped stones on it in my conch at around 6 months in consultation with my piercer, it was healing beautifully. After that jewelry went it, it went to shit. The stones kept going into the hole, and I pulled it back out to the smooth part as those gems should not be in the hole. I would wake up with it in my ear ( didn't sleep on that side) fix it, then just walk around eat breakfast, and brush teeth. And it would be back in the hole, that was a daily thing. Caused a hypertrophic scar I had to heal. Piercer said it was combo of too early and the jewelry, she now doesn't reccomend it to any of her clients. She hated that I was the guinea pig. Now when I see piercing jewelry like that I have flashbacks and stay the hell away from all hoops like that.

I love my conch piercings! The only issue I have is my mask strap pushes on them (and my forward helix). Any suggestions for using masks with piercings?

Conch was the easiest to heal and the least amount of time to heal. I have my daith and that sucked and now my cartilage SUCKS. Have had it for over 6 months and it still is not healed and hurts. Conch would be the piercing I swear by and didn't even hurt getting it.

I love my conch. It has been so easy to heal and didn't hurt that much when I got it pierced.

Had my conch on each ear. Had them done a year a part from each other and I felt like they never healed. After another year I decided to take them out because it hurt so much to sleep. It was definitely a cute piercing but just didn't work for me.

I so need new jewelry from you guys! Can't make up my mind up on the blue or white opal.

I got my conch done 7 months ago and the healing is the worst. It’s such a pretty piercing but still hurts most days especially when i’ve slept on it. Travel pillow definitely helps but no good for anyone who turns over in their sleep like I do

I have mine pierced and omg was it horrible and took forever to heal I had to have surgery a few months after getting it so it took even longer to heal and was a big pain to heal

Thanks for the tech support... Will be definitely ordering some of your awesome jewellery ❣️

My conch ripped out when it got caught on my bfs watch, the ball went under my skin and I had to get it cut out.... 2 months later it’s still sore!!!!!

I had a front closing flat back stud in my conch and about 3 months after getting it, while on a holiday with my rents away from civilisation the front fell off into my ear canal😂 and I thought it was a bug so I started balling my eyes out and screaming. I put myself upside down on the sofa in like 5 seconds flat and now I spend alot of time making sure all the screw are tight and clean😊 be careful kids it's a scary world

Both of my ears have a conch piercing in each. I have them pierced different days. On my left ear it was done in early December 2021 and the other ear on May 10th,2022. They both had a ring in them both. Last year that I taken the left ring out of my ear for almost a year. The right one that I taken it out a little bit over a year and it was almost a year after the left one. I was happy to wear gold jewelry instead of silver. Right now I’m wearing silver.

0:38 RIP Headphone users

I love your videos so much I have watched for years 🖤🖤🖤🖤

HONESTLY: my conch piercings healed in like 2-3months! Surprisingly it was the easiest piercing to take care of with the least amount of problems! Meanwhile.. my helix piercing though.... oof

Love conch piercing probs my fave

Mine was swollen for like 2 months finally it’s close to normal but my hypertrophic scarring is always there. Some days it’s big some days it’s small lol

The conch won't be causing too much problems when using stethoscopes since the earpiece is directed away from the piercing. Daith and tragus piercings will be causing more problems.

I lived my conch but I had to plaster it up every day for school and avoid the rlly annoying teachers who hate piercings it was a nightmare and eventually they made me take it out on front of them :((

I got my conch pierced with a 14g hoop and it never gave me issues. I feel like it definitely didn’t take anywhere near 6-9 months to heal. I was good about cleaning it and didn’t touch it or mess with it much during the day but I definitely slept on it within the first week lol. My helix was way worse and it was pierced with a labret.

When I first got my conch, I couldn’t raise my eyebrows because it bothered the piercing. Can YOU try raising your eyebrows without moving your ears at least slightly?! 😵😫

I didnt have any problem only the sleeping ..my eyebrow gets caught on stuff all the time..I have a stud in my conch and it will stay there ...wont change it is hard to change

My forward helix be treating me like a conch

So any cartilage pericing really this applies to, depending on jewlery and how much u mess with it.

My conch was healed in like 2 weeks never bothered me and had no problems. Can’t believe people have these problems.

Please do one for industrial piercing. Hoping to get a conch and industrial piercing in thesame ear on thesame day 🥴 when the lockdown is lifted.

I guess I have a strong immune system. Piercings heal in almost half the time they take for most people. I also have a high pain tolerance. I think I can handle an industrial piercing that I’ve had for almost 11 years, I can handle a conch.

Is it really that bad to use with over ear headphones? I have been considering a conch piercing next, but not if I can't do music stuff

@Lulu Ave Is sleeping on it and are earbuds still an issue after it's fully healed a year out?

love my conch piercing no regrets 🤷🏻‍♀️ and just like any piercing should be prepared to be easy or take it slower pulling a shirt over ur head.

I got mine pierced in August with a ring. It healed well with no bumps, but it is horrific to sleep on. My first piercing was an industrial so that might be why the conch seems like a walk in the park LOL

Ok first off love your videos I watch them almost everyday

Got my conch mid march.. keeps swelling, i switched it to a longer stud because there was no room left to swell.. was ok, so i switched it back because it got way too long. Now its really swolen again! What to do? Cannot visit a piercer because of covid19...

I got both my conch piercings in July 2018 and 2 months later, on my birthday, while at work my co worker gave me a hug and my piercing got stuck on his suspenders and completely pulled it out. I had not even notice till I touch my ear and realize I was bleeding really bad. My managers ended up sending me to a piercing shop to get it cleaned and get it re pierced. It was quiet the day 😅😅

I’ve had my conch piercing for like 2 months and I don’t have any of these problems it’s not painful literally at all

I've had 2 cartilage piercings and my conch and my conch has healed the best. Took my cartilage out because it got a bump but I love my conch because it's healed haha. Only issue was wearing headphones but now it's fine.

My conch took about a year to heal I think. It was so sore for the first week. Worth it though because I love it

Just got my conch piercing! 🥰🥰🥰

So want one but I ride a motorbike so wearing a helmet will be so painful 😢

I literally had zero problems with my conch piercing 🤨

I need somehelp I’ve had mine done for 9 months and get build up of hard crust behind the back in the ear is there anyway I can stop that from happening?

The longest healing of all my piercings

My stethoscope doesn't bother my conch piercing, but I had a rough time with my daith 😬

Anyone who wears glasses on a regular basis: do your glasses interfere with your conch piercing? Been wanting my conch for over a year now but I’m afraid my glasses will hit it every time I put them on or take them off. Or if I push my glasses the wrong way.

I love my conch, it took a long time to heal but it’s not even my most difficult piercing

how come you have no piercings? or on your ears? just curious.

I feel like these are just common issues with most cartilage piercings, not specific to the conch.

Can you do the same video about daith piercing?

Can I sleep on it once it’s healed??

Also love the nightmare then scream

I sleep on mine and it’s rather new less than 2 months. No issues

I love y’all videos

It's been 1 year now still giving a bump or junk.

I f*cking love my conch. Definitely my favorite piercing. Never had a problem with it :)

A piercer without any piercing?

Once it's healed, you can use a stethoscope like normal. My main experience is using stethoscope with studs

Yeah. My conch SUCKS!! Especially because I have tiny ear so everything is more difficult. It is super cute though, so I keep it😍😅

Mine healed in a couple weeks

Just got both of them pierced!!!
