Conch Piercing

Why You Might Want a Conch Piercing

Let me tempt you a bit:

• 🌀 Unique & Versatile – It stands out more than a standard lobe or helix piercing but isn't too flashy. You can wear anything from minimalist studs to bold statement rings.

• 🧬 Customizable Look – Mix it with other cartilage piercings for a "curated ear" aesthetic that's both edgy and elegant.

• 🧘 Symbolic Vibes – Some people associate conch piercings with inner strength or grounding — it's literally in the center of your ear.

• 🔇 Rumored to help with migraines – While not medically proven, some say the pressure point location may offer headache relief (similar to daith piercings).

A conch piercing is a type of ear cartilage piercing located in the middle part of your ear — the area known as the concha, which resembles the shell of a conch (hence the name). There are two main types:

1. Inner conch piercing – done through the middle of the ear cartilage.

2. Outer conch piercing – located on the flat area between the helix and antihelix.

It can be styled with a stud, hoop, or even a cuff for a bold, standout look. Healing typically takes 6–12 months since it's cartilage, but many find the result worth the patience.
