What is a Conch piercing ?

Named after the spiral shape of a conch shell, this piercing resides in the center of the ear, just above the transition from soft earlobe to firmer cartilage. With the rise of curated ear trends, Conch piercings are gaining popularity for their versatility.

Customizable based on ear shape, Conch piercings can be either inner or outer, allowing for a variety of stud or hoop earring options.

Conch rings generally come in sizes ranging from 8mm to 12mm. At Medley we offer 8mm conch earrings for a snug fit, particularly if your ears are small and the conch piercing is close to the edge. The 6mm or 8mm bar length works well for many people, depending on the thickness of their cartilage.

Is Conch piercing painful?

The level of discomfort experienced during a conch piercing can vary widely from person to person. However, generally speaking, conch piercings tend to be more painful compared to traditional earlobe piercings.

How long does it typically take for a Conch piercing to heal? 

A Conch piercing typically requires a long healing period, spanning up to 9 months, owing to the denser cartilage in the ear. 

To gauge if your Conch piercing has fully healed, look for signs such as the absence of discharge or redness, minimal tenderness upon touch, and loose movement of the jewelry.

How to clean my Conch piercing?

Cleaning Routine:

To promote healing after getting a conch piercing, it's crucial to adhere to a proper aftercare routine. 

  1. Always start by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your piercing.  
  2. Apply a saline soaked gauze pad to the piercing and hold it there for about 5 minutes. This helps cleanse the piercing and promote healing
  3. Avoid moving or rotating the piercing while cleaning to prevent irritation.
  4.  If there's any buildup around the piercing, allow the saline solution to soften it. Then, gently wipe away the softened buildup with the soaked gauze pad. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or tug on the piercing.
  5. After cleaning, gently pat the area dry with disposable paper products, such as paper towels or tissues. 

Avoidance Measures:

  • Avoid rotating or twisting the jewelry, as this can interfere with the healing process. 
  • Avoid using harsh soaps or products with dyes or fragrances.
