The inner conch piercing is when a hole is punctured right through the middle of the ear to make way for a stud. Then there’s the outer conch piercing, which allows a ring to go around the outer edge of the ear’s cartilage (hello, hoop earrings).
Moreover, how quickly will a conch piercing close?
For most people, the conch takes six months to a year to completely heal. But, for some, it can take as long as two years. With a piercing that can take a year longer to heal than usually expected, it’s easy for someone to have the piercing close up once they would have expected the piercing to already be healed.
Also question is, can you pierce a conch with a hoop? It is possible to wear a stud in the outer conch, but the hoop style (also known as an orbital conch piercing) seems to be the most popular. In the inner conch, you‘ll want to opt for a cartilage stud. You can choose a stud with a flat disc back or ball backing, whichever style you prefer.
