Conch Piercing
Whether it's eye-catching conch rings or sparkling zirconia stud earrings, conch piercings can be styled individually and uniquely. Find out everything you need to know about conch piercings here.
Since the conch piercing is done in a thick part of the ear cartilage, it is a rather painful piercing. The pain is rated at about 7/10, but can vary depending on individual pain sensitivity.
What is a Conch Piercing?
The name ‘conch’ comes from ‘conch shell’, which means ‘sea snail’. As the name suggests, the conch piercing is located in the concha of the ear. The conch piercing is pierced through the ear cartilage. In contrast to the helix piercing, the cartilage at the conch location is significantly thicker, which is why it takes longer to heal.
A distinction is made between inner conch piercings and outer conch piercings. The inner conch is located further inside the ear, while the outer conch is slightly further outside. Because the outer conch is closer to the outer edge of the ear, it's particularly well-suited for wearing a ring. The inner conch, on the other hand, is ideal for studs. Where the conch piercing is done depends on the individual shape of the ear and aesthetic preferences.
Wie schmerzhaft ist das Stechen?
Da das Conch Piercing an einer dicken Stelle des Ohrknorpels gestochen wird, ist es ein eher schmerzhaftes Piercing. Der Schmerz wird ungefähr mit 7/10 bewertet, kann aber je nach individuellem Schmerzempfinden variieren.
Dermal Punch
Stretching the ear lobe is very painful, which is why the ‘dermal punch’ method is often used for conch piercing. This method does not use a typical piercing needle, but rather a type of cannula that punches out cartilage tissue. The advantage of this method is the shorter healing time. The disadvantage is that the hole does not close up again because the tissue has been cut out.
The ideal Daith Piercing Jewelry
The daith ring is the classic and most common jewelry choice for this piercing, as its round shape adapts perfectly to the shape of the ear. Rings studded with shiny stones are also very popular. Small bars can also be worn in daith piercings. It's especially important that the jewelry not only looks aesthetically pleasing but is also comfortable to wear every day. We offer delicate, high-quality daith rings in various sizes that you can wear 24/7.
How do you clean a Daith Piercing?
Proper care of your daith piercing is crucial for smooth healing. You can use a sterile saline solution or a special piercing care product to clean the piercing. Environmental contamination should be avoided. Our 14k gold daith jewelry can be easily cleaned with soap and water, or, for deeper contamination, with an ultrasonic cleaner. Our free gold polishing cloth will restore your daith piercing to its former glory.
Materialien
Für ein frisch gestochenes Piercing muss das Material hypoallergen und steril sein. Das bedeutet, es muss für jeden verträglich sein, ohne allergische Reaktionen auszulösen. Zudem darf es keine Keime übertragen.
Titan, Gold, Weißgold und Edelstahl sind hypoallergene Materialien. Unserer Erfahrung nach hat 585 Gold und 585 Weißgold Piercingschmuck die höchste Qualität. Er ist langlebig und muss nie abgenommen werden.
Silber sollte auf keinen Fall bei frisch gestochenen oder entzündeten Piercings getragen werden, da es sich negativ auf die Heilung auswirkt.
Empfohlene Schmuckstücke für das Conch Piercing
Daith piercings come in several different sizes. They typically have an inner diameter of 8mm, 9mm, or 10mm. Before purchasing a daith piercing, you should consider your individual ear anatomy and the thickness of your inner cartilage fold to find the right inner diameter. You should also pay attention to the size of the design so it doesn't look too big or too small on your ear. If the daith ring is set with large stones, the piercing often appears larger than a plain gold ring .
Conclusion
For anyone who wants a striking and unique piercing, the daith is definitely the right choice. Now you know everything you need to know to ensure optimal healing, how to properly care for your piercing, and what to look for when choosing jewelry. With the right piece of jewelry in the perfect size, the ideal material, and your favorite design, nothing stands in your way.

Wie schmerzhaft ist ein Conch Piercing?
Das Conch ist eines der am schmerzhaftesten Ohr Piercings, da der Knorpel an dieser Stelle relativ dick ist. Der Schmerz wird häufig als eine 7/10 wahrgenommen.
Wie lange braucht ein Conch um zu heilen?
In der Regel kann es 3-8 Monate dauern, bis ein Conch abheilt.
Wie heilt ein Conch Piercing am besten?
Während der Heilungsphase sollte auf Schwimmbäder, Sauna und Solarium verzichtet werden. Außerdem ist es wichtig Druck zu vermeiden und auch beim Schlafen nicht am Ohr zu liegen. Die Wunde sollte mehrmals täglich desinfiziert und nicht berührt werden.
Wie lange sollte nicht auf dem Conch Piercing geschlafen werden?
Es wird empfohlen mindestens 4-8 Wochen nicht auf dem Conch zu schlafen. Unserer Erfahrung nach dauert es jedoch länger. Denn wenn die Stelle zu früh zu viel Druck ausgesetzt ist können Entzündungen entstehen und die Heilungszeit wird dadurch verlängert.
