I got my conch done a few days ago and it hurt so bad! I started crying when my piercer put the jewelry through and I have never cried when getting any of my other tattoos or piercings. However my friend got his conch done literally 5 minutes before me by the same piercer and he said it didnt hurt at all. Everyone's different and theres no way to know how you'll react until you do it

I'm getting my conch piercing tomorrow- I'm freaked out but I really want it, it's so beautiful 💕

I found my conchs more painful to get than my daiths but the worst part for me was the week long headache I got after it was pierced but it was so worth it.I have rings in my conchs and I love how it looks

i got mine done like 2 days ago, and it actually didn’t hurt at all. i was expecting it to be super painful, and some of these comments say it is, but in my experience it was super good! i’m obsessed :’)

I have a conch in my right ear and a double conch in my left ear. They were easy to get, relatively painless. My right ear was not a problem to heal, but the double on was a bit of a bother. I do catch the double ones on my left ear on my hair. I love those piercings a lot. I also have other piercings inc. daith, rook, helixes, lobes, nostrils, and tragus.

I got my conch, helix, and third lobe piercing a few days ago and my conch was the least painful. The helix was not that bad either but it is more harder to sleep on and to manage. But I love them and can’t wait for them to all heal.

Helix piercings take 6-12 months to fully heal... as do all cartilidge piercings

For me the conch was most painful , it was more painful to put the piercing itself than getting it... but overall i would give it like 6 out of ten. My tragus rook helix and 6 lobes didnt hurt as much as the conch

It's amazing it was painless for you, as out of all 15 of my ear piercings, it was the most painful, followed closely by my triple forward helix. It was fast, but it def did hurt

I got my conch done today! I have my first and second earlobes, my helix and now my conch and out of all of them the conch was most definitely the worst and my conch has been throbbing the hole day. I got mine pierced with a 14 gauge so I think that is a lot of the reason why it hurt so much. I would give it a 8/10 pain level wise but I love it!

I got my conch done about a month ago now, pain level of piercing was about same as my others- I gave total 40(?) rook, 2 tragus, 10 helix, 25(?) lobes, 2 nostrils.. idk if I added that right. Anyway, that night was the worst- it just throbbed like heck and I was like why did I get this?! But then after 24 hours it was fine. My hair DID catch on the back of the barbell first week, and hurt but it’s fine now. Looking forward to someday putting a hoop in.

I had zero pain getting my conch pierced, except the headache I had a couple hours afterwards. I got pierced with 14g but I am going to use 16g. Just got my first set of earrings and am thinking about changing it. I've had mine for 10weeks now. I dont really sleep on it b/c I find it gets swollen that way

You are adorable! Thanks for the info, pretty sure the conch is next. Just got my tragus on Saturday, still a little sore but so worth it ❤

Got mine a week ago and I absolutely love it and don’t regret it

Did you move it around often while it healed?

i just got my conch done today and really want to change it to a thinner hoop. how long should I wait to change it? is it possible to change it to a thinner gage hoop?

My conch is now 8mm on the left, hope it's not too feminine.lol. But given I wear eyeliner and nail varnish maybe I shouldn't worry! I have a snug and two faux snugs on the right, could use the two conch piercings different but I like the look of triple snugs (I had two but one rejected so I went with the faux piercing option but fortunately the remaining snug healed fine and THAT is the thickest cartilage piercing! )

Conch was the most painful one (had two helix few months before) but it was because I was scared during the piercing process. It's slightly hurt like just for one hour, no blood during the healing process, no pain 👌

I got my conch 1 month ago, best decision ever! I was really scared to get it at first because of all those people that say that it hurts... But! It didn’t hurt at all! You just feel a little pressure and that’s it, you have your conch piercing~

I also love the conch. Do you have any problems sleeping with the ring in? My piercer said she had major problems sleeping with a ring in and had to go back to a bar. If I get a conch done I want a pretty gold ring in eventually. Btw thanks for doing this video.

Conch piercings are gorgeous but was my most painful by far and I've had my nipple done

"conch is one of the ear piercings that takes longer to heal." me with a brand new conch: dammit....

Quick question, I got my conch with a hoop instead of a stud when it was freshly pierced. I’m healing it with a hoop. Many people said it should of been done with a stud. Any advice and tips that I have the hoop in to heal? I know it is more exposed and can move so the process can take longer but is their risks of me getting it infected and would you change to a stud❤️

The piercing process itself on my conch wasn't too awful. However that night and for a few days after that it was extremely painful

I just changed my conch piercing for my birthday to an industrial strength hoop with a cubic zirconia cluster

This was the most painful piercing that I have ever got and it's hard to sleep on. 4 months into it and I still cant sleep on it. And finding jewelry that will fit is almost impossible

I found mine to be like a 5/10 on the pain scale. I yelled “jeez Louise!” But the piercer said I do have ‘unusually stiff ears’. It was over so quick though it really wasn’t that big of a deal.

Ive got my done since last November and a month ago got it changed to a very attractive looking hoop its amazing looking on me and got my left side nose piercing done with the hoop done to

How would you compare the pain to the helix and the tragus? Would you say it hurts more or less?

Thanks so much for the info!

i got done with a 16g for my conch

Es bonito perforarse y ponerte algun pendiente o arito😘 a mi me encantan💕

Please explain the cleaning process! Is table salt ok to clean conch piercing?

Definitely getting one thx for the info!

Where did you get your hoop jewelry for your conch?

I’ve been wanting to get my conch pierced for a while now, but with covid I’m hesitant bc I don’t want it to get caught on my mask.. 😷

Love your accent 😍 Im about to get my conch done. Lets see how it goes. Greetings from Mexico!

does anyone know a good site or store to buy conch jewelry (preferably fine jewelry)

The pain level will depend on how thick your conch cartilage is, mine is so thick it fills hard, almoust like bone.

Jus got mine today! No regrets

My helixes healed in a short time with no problem, the couch on the other hand was horrible, it just wont heal and hurts bad. Getting the piercing wasn´t pleasant either.

Literally I got my days pierced it does not hurt that one doesn’t hurt at all it’s more just pressure more than anything

I got mine pierced a few days ago and it didn’t hurt although the needle struggled going out the back so these past few days it’s been pretty sensitive. I love it but I can’t wait for the healing process to be over cause I avoid sleeping on my side which I like 😂

Can a conch piercing worsen your hearing?

What gauge is it?

Hello. Great video. Another con I would imagine would be that once u have that piercing u can’t use in ear headphones.

My conch piercing was the easiest piercing I've had and my daith!

I got my conch and rook done last week and my conch was by far the easiest cartilage piercing I've gotten, didn't hurt at all getting it pierced and no pain whatsoever a week on! It hurt even less than my helix and double lobes. Daith was by far the most uncomfortable for me just because of the pressure :(, it's healed like a dream though.

That doesn’t bother me either having holes in my ears and then permanently there because I have tattoos and I will have my piercings all my life I will never remove them I’ll have them always there they’re just as permanent as my tattoos I will always have them there I’ll never remove them

It’s the best way for your heroes but not mine I’m very prone to infections so I have to do Alcohol when healing my piercings no it’s not for you

The conch piercing hurts like hell. You need a piercer who is confident and quick. Once it is done smooth sailing if you keep it clean.

Yeah piercings any piercings can be filled fiddly to change but with me what I do is I don’t have like tons and tons and tons and tons of different jewellery a lot of people have like a way of jewellery that goes with for my tragus jewellery for my Dave jewellery for my snug jewellery for my helix blah blah but I don’t do that I I don’t do that I have my one jewellery so basically what I do is well the piercing is healing I decide my final jewellery and that’s final jewellery that means I’m not changing it I’m not taking it out it’s staying as is and it’s going to have the same jewellery it’s never changing now I do change my first holes from time to time and have different. Jewellery in there or in my second holes but as for anything else I leave my third hole lol my stock lol alone my two helixes my other new helix my defence my Snuggie those will all be left alone I just have my one piece of jewellery I keep in at all times I never change it I never move it I never take it out and I don’t plan to get any more jewellery for them at the jewellery that’s there now is the final jewellery except for the one that is my helix up at the top that I just got that will be changed to a gold hoop at the end once it’s healed and my snug that will be changed to a barbell with my birthstone colour on both ends which route is purple cause I was born in FebruaryAnd that’s it that’s all I will have all of that it’ll stay the same the jewellery will be the same never changing and of course downsizing the jewellery that’s the only other time I will be taking out the jewellery and changing it but once I get to the final jewellery wants us down to the final jewellery put the final Julian it’s done I will not be taking out or removing or having different jewellers to put in it I never do my helix on the very very top my first he likes I ever got from when I was 13 years old ones it was healed I took out the earring that was in there I changed it to a gold hoop and it’s been that forever it’s been that for ages for about 20 years never changed

i wanted the hoop in first :(

Well I guess she got super fucking lucky. Sleeping on my conch is incredibly painful, and leaves me with a stinging pain if i do ever fall asleep on it, which is never. Touching it or doing anything to it feels like hell. Getting it done felt worse or equivalent to that of getting an industrial piercing. I have to be super careful when touching it because if I make a slight mistake it will leave me in agony for a long time. "Doesn't get caught on anything" HAHAHAHAHA -fuck my life this piercing is a nightmare please pray for me-
