Conch piercings are definitely a popular placement

What are conch piercings?
A conch piercing is a popular cartilage piercing located in the central, cup-shaped area of the ear, which gets its name because its shape resembles a conch shell. It is a highly versatile piercing that can be styled with either small studs or large, statement hoops.

Types of Conch Piercings
•Inner Conch: Located in the deeper, lower bowl of the ear closest to the ear canal. This area is typically pierced and styled with a flat-backed stud or labret.
•Outer Conch: Located on the flatter, upper plate of cartilage just inside the outer rim of the ear. This placement is highly favored for rings and hoops that wrap around the outer edge.

Healing and Pain

Pain Level:
Because the conch passes through a thick plate of hard cartilage, it is generally considered more painful than an earlobe piercing most rare a conch piercing as a 4/6 out of 10. You can expect a sharp, intense pinch that subsides to a dull throb, which may last a few days.

Healing Time:
Usually cartilage piercings take 6-12 months to fully heal though can sometimes take longer depending on your body and aftercare. Jewellery is recommend to be downsized at 8-12 weeks to aid proper healing.

Why do I only offer standard Titanium jewellery for initial piercings?

•Nickel-Free:
Titanium contains virtually zero nickel, which is the most common cause of allergic contact dermatitis and skin irritation in piercings.
•Biocompatible:
The body does not recognize implant-grade titanium as a foreign threat, minimizing the risk of tissue rejection and hypersensitivity.
•Corrosion Resistant:
It does not react with bodily fluids, sweat, or saline solutions, meaning it will never rust, tarnish, or degrade inside the wound.
•Lightweight:
Titanium is roughly 45% lighter than surgical steel, which reduces physical pulling, stress, and pressure on a fresh, healing piercing.
•Non-Porous:
The smooth surface prevents bacteria from trapping inside microscopic pockets, drastically lowering the risk of localized infections.

Absolutely love red ink and script ❤️

PIERCINGS 👂✨

Just a few of the piercings I’ve done over the last few days.

I currently only stock standard titanium jewellery for piercings done by the needle method as these come pre sterilised and individually wrapped for extra hygiene purposes.

I also offer the Inverness system where you can choose from titanium, stainless steel, Gold plated or 9ct gold studs. I can only pierce flat cartilage, helix and lobes with the Inverness system and feel this is the better method of the two for children under the age of 14 so please bare this in mind when booking.

Script is my fave 💭
