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 got mine on Thursday and did not hurt at all! The same day I got my upper lobe pierced and it hurt so bad I fainted! 😂
I wouldn't say it didn't hurt but it definitely wasn't as bad for me like other ppl say. I just tried to stay relaxed and inhaled and exhaled when they told me too. It felt sore after but that's pretty typical.
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
Same. I have headaches too 😑
sarah wardle do you have any problems sleeping with the ring in?
@@darI33n I have this question too
I'm getting my conch piercing tomorrow- I'm freaked out but I really want it, it's so beautiful 💕
Helix piercings take 6-12 months to fully heal... as do all cartilidge piercings
deadgirl82 was literally about to say this!
That’s fair enough! I found my tragus and helix healed a little quicker than that, but to be fair I still didn’t change them until 8 months later so I’m with you on that! 💕
My double helix piercings are 6 weeks in and finally starting to feel like the outside layers of the piercings are calm and happy. I know that I have months of healing, ahead, though. I want a conch piercing, next! Probably in 2 months.
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 :’)
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
Which other ear piercings do you have? :) Would you mind ranking them or somethig like that, pain wise? I would appreciate it very much :)
@@zinahelsayed8966 my conch was worst, about a 6, triple forward helix was the same, then I have 2 lobe piercings on that ear too, and they were easy. My other ear, I have an anxiety piercing, which was literally a 2 in pain, so easy, then another 8 running up the side of my ear, so 4 through skin, and 4 through cartilage. The cartilage nips, but its only about a 3 in pain... The lower 4, were just the same as lobe piercings, really easy. Hope that helps?? I've a pretty high pain tolerance too, so thats something to keep in mind. The conch & triple, although pretty sore, it's still doable...
Out of all of my ear piercings, the triple was the biggest pain in the arse to try & heal... And although the conch sucked, it gave me no bother at all healing!
@@deadgirl82 Thanks! I already have a tragus piercing for about a month, that wasn't that bad. So I'm expecting my conch to hurt (a lot) more but it looks so good I'll probably get it some time soon!
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.
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.
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
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 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~
Bae Sky Trbl omg thats so shocking because obviously its going through a thicker part of ear i really want iit done
Sana Sheikh xc It also depends on each person, but if you go and get it done by a professional there shouldn’t be any problem! Don’t be scared, it only takes like 5 seconds you don’t even have the time to be scared that it’s already through your ear 😂
Bae Sky Trbl aw thankyou! Is that part of your ear thick for you? Because mine is fairly thick
Same feeling. Same experience. The pain level is soooo personnel that we cannot really compte to each other.
I did it yesterday and just felt pressure while the piercer put the jewel through the needle / hole. That’s it.
Now, I just have to be careful during the healing process and voila 🥰
@@annc9850 how is your conch piercing doing now?
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
"conch is one of the ear piercings that takes longer to heal."
me with a brand new conch: dammit....
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.
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
Same. I've had mine for more than a month now and the swelling still hasn't gone down completely. Hurts like a sucker. Worst piercing experience by far.
Sleep on the other side
Can you sleep on it now?
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 👌
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❤️
Grace28 when I had mine pierced I had a hoop that was pretty big so that there was room for swelling. When the swelling went down the hoop was really big and super exposed. Additionally, I’m a swimmer so I have to wear swim caps and get it in water etc.. The tips that helped me the most was to NEVER ever touch it, never sleep on it (I think you know the drill). It was still really irritated so I went to my piercer who carefully changed it to a small stud.
If yours is irritated then definitely go to your piercer to change your hoop. It’s worth it. I hoped this helped lol it’s really long😂
Conch piercings are gorgeous but was my most painful by far and I've had my nipple done
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.
I just changed my conch piercing for my birthday to an industrial strength hoop with a cubic zirconia cluster
Got both of mine done today and it was painful 10 out of 10 for me but I love them
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
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.. 😷
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
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 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.
Darleen Lee sometimes it does get twisted upwards - not really a problem just feels a little uncomfortable until I push it back down ☺️
Did you move it around often while it healed?
does anyone know a good site or store to buy conch jewelry (preferably fine jewelry)
_ _mvgical love to know this to
_ _mvgical Usually a piercer that is an APP member sells fine jewelry for piercings. Most piercing jewelry is sold wholesale to piercers and then they sell retail to us. I’m not sure if Lulu’s sells ONLY fine jewelry, but you can check their site. I think it’s just Lulusbodyjewelry.com.
Crazy factory
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?
Please explain the cleaning process! Is table salt ok to clean conch piercing?
Niyati Thakur I only recommend natural rock salt in boiled water 😊
Got mine a week ago and I absolutely love it and don’t regret it
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
How would you compare the pain to the helix and the tragus? Would you say it hurts more or less?
VSantiago718 I would say it hurt less than both of those - but that’s my personal opinion so it may be different for you of course ❣️
I'd give my tragus 1/10 for pain tbh... Helix for me is about 4/10... my conch was about 5/10 purely because my ears are quite thick however the pain literally lasted about 2 seconds? As soon as the needle goes through the pain stops completely.. :) The most painful piercing ive had is the industrial
Can a conch piercing worsen your hearing?
Corinne Thelen I haven’t found any evidence of this nor had this problem myself - but they do advise against stretching your conch 😊
ravzn thanks!
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
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 ❤
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.
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 pain level will depend on how thick your conch cartilage is, mine is so thick it fills hard, almoust like bone.
Love your accent 😍 Im about to get my conch done. Lets see how it goes. Greetings from Mexico!
Karen Montserrat soooo updates?😂
My conch piercing was the easiest piercing I've had and my daith!
Queen of Thorns can I ask, did you get a stud or hoop in after it was pierced. Mines healing with a hoop the piercer put in.
Wanted to ask cause apparently people say I should of done a stud x
Definitely getting one thx for the info!
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 😂
Cyrea Gonzales Buy a travel neck pillow! Use it as your regular sleeping pillow, positioning your ear in the hole when you lay down to rest. There’ll be no pressure on your fresh piercing. I pierced both my traguses at the same time, and I haven’t had to sacrifice sleeping on my side for either!
Es bonito perforarse y ponerte algun pendiente o arito😘 a mi me encantan💕
Jus got mine today! No regrets
Hello. Great video. Another con I would imagine would be that once u have that piercing u can’t use in ear headphones.
Angela Silver I have this piercing and I can still use in ear buds!
I have my conch pierced and earbuds are no problem!
A VH oh wow! I’m thinking of adding that piercing now lol. I have the tragus and the helix and the tragus is relatively new so I have to be careful moving the earring up to accommodate the headphones.
Angela Silver did you get a conch yet? i’ve had mine for 4 weeks but i’m still scared to wear headphones 😂. i wear earbuds literally everyday tho
@@user-jn2kp2th4c as long as your headphones go over your ears, instead of on your ears you should be good. I've had my conch since the end of October last year and I've only worn earbuds for a week after.
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.
Thanks so much for the info!
i got done with a 16g for my conch
Where did you get your hoop jewelry for your conch?
Snap Peas I think I got it from eBay! X
What gauge is it?
Rhoda714 the hoop is very thin about 2mm but the original was a lot thicker :)
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.
i wanted the hoop in first :(
Heals better with a stud and afterwards change it to a hoop.
I had mine done with a hoop in the states and it had so many problems for like 2months. They were so swollen that my regular piercer had to stretch the hoops out to get it off my ear. He changed it to labret studs and now they're good as gold and I can even sleep on them with no problems
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-
