    I'm the kind of idiot that gets both their helix and conch pierced on the same day and then realizes "ah shit, i wear glasses."

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  4 года назад +61

      I usually will have the client wear the glasses while I'm marking or have them put them back on after I mark to make sure that the piercing will not have contact with the glasses.
      How did it affect the piercing?

      I got a double helix piercing and I forgot about my glasses and the fact I wear a double headset at work. That was fun for the first few days then I got a forward helix lol. I don't do things by half. First few days I had to adjust how I wore everything but everything's settled now about 2-3wks on.

      This is why I try to mention as much I can about how the piercing may effect your life during the healing. You had never had a piercing there and had no idea about contact with headphones and glasses. It was your piercer's responsibility to tell you about them.
      I'm happy to hear you got through it and the piercings healed. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.

    I got it done 2 years ago it's all healed up now and arguably my favorite piercing of all. I love telling people it's real and not an ear cuff!! My hair was what gave me issues, it would get caught in the jewelry and if I was motioning to tie it up it would tug and sometimes cause flare ups.

    I love my conch piercing! Did it myself (do not try this at home haha) but I’ve had no issues with it. I found that for me, it was super easy to sleep on since the pillow doesn’t put pressure on the inner part of my ear. Cleaned it twice a day for the first few months, and now I just use a saline spray a few times a week. Of all my piercings, this was actually the easiest to heal.

      I did mine myself too but I fucked up big time and overestimated the length of the bar. I spent a good hour swapping the jewellery out to a proper size and it killed for ages afterwards.

  • @kiraveritas3060
    @kiraveritas3060 4 года назад +8

    Just to add to what you said about sports; it’s good to plan ahead so you get the piercing done at the best time for your sport (usually at the start of off season), then during comps make sure that the jewellery is the correct size to minimise the profile and exposure. I know for my sport it is mainly aesthetic so we would either swap it out for clear jewellery just for the performance or cover it with strapping tape (same as tattoos). Mostly common sense but I’ve found this (swapping to snugly fitted jewellery) has minimised the amount of pain and settling time needed after being whacked in the ear or having someone land on my head.

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  4 года назад +2

      Yes, most people really don't consider it and it will always make for a much easier healing period.
      Also, if you have to have clear jewelry, I'm going to suggest glass. It's more durable, safer and can be worn in the body longer.

    Omg ofc I watch this after getting my conch pierced. My conch aftercare was such a pain. I hardly felt the needle when it went through, just a little sore after for the rest of the day. But after I started to head on to my 3rd or 4th day, it started to throb and burn soooo much. I was in so much pain I couldn't even sleep. The nxt night I took 2 pills of panadol rapid and it stopped hurting. During the period of pain, I had blood, some pus and crusts coming out of my ear, not to mention it was also very swollen. I also had jaw pain and headaches. I didnt know if it was an infection because it was only some of the early days of getting it pierced. Welp at least I'm still alive, lucky enough of me, after I took the pills and cleaned it 3 times a day it went down. Now on my first full week😊

      Body Piercing & Tattooing dipped my ear in cup of saline for 4-5 mins and then rinse the saline off with tap water (minimum 2x a day, usually 3x). When the crust really started coming on I followed up with a quick swipe with a cotton ball. could it have something to do with the jewelry? The place I went to pierced with a needle and then inserted a regular earring, like the kind I would buy for my lobes.

      @BodyPiercingTattooing  5 лет назад +4

      @@vivianc.8731 Well, first off twice daily is enough and you should have rinsed under running water. Cotton Balls and Qtips are a huge cause of infection and other problems, including the strands of cotton wrapping around the jewelry and causing problems.
      It sounds like the jewelry might have been the source of most of your problems. That type of jewelry is often made of substandard metals, not long enough and has less than smooth jewelry. Why they would use that style of jewelry is beyond me.

    I got my conch piercing almost 4 weeks ago. It was a little bit more painful than my 2nd cartilage but, it is lots less painful than an industrial piercing. The conch piercing is a little more than the pressure than the pain. I kind of closed my eyes a little bit on this piercing. My 2nd cartilage piercing wasn’t as painful and it was just a little pinch. The industrial piercing is more painful and when I was getting my eyes opened wide just after the first hole.

      Your piercer should always give you a consultation before hand explaining what kind of commitment healing the piercing will be and the risks involved.
      You should be fine with the labret. It is common to use labret studs with Conch piercing. This is to lower the profile of the jewelry in the back.

    I got my conch pierced 6 days ago and I absolutely loved it! Within the next day almost 2 days later, it got infected. I thought it was just normal swelling and redness but by day 3-4 it worsened. Day 5 puss came out and the back of the piercing got “eaten” by my ear cuz of how swollen it was. Day 6 had to go to the doctor to get it taken out. I was so bummed but it all happened cuz the piercer used a barbell that was too small, such as those you use for a healed piercing. I did follow the cleaning instructions, being careful with it to not sleep on it, etc, but of course was still no help 😔 This pain tho was NO JOKE!!!

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  4 года назад +5

      It's hard to say without seeing the piercing first hand but I'm guessing that it was swelling from the trauma of the piercing. It exceeded the length of the jewelry and the impacting caused additionally trauma which lead to more swelling. Yes, extremely painful but may not have been infected and could have been resolved with a longer piece of jewelry.

    Isn't the healingtime for a cartilagepiercing 6-12 months? 2-3 months sound way to short to expect a earpiercing to heal

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  5 лет назад +31

      It really depends on how you define healed. In this case I'm talking about the period of tome on average that the body takes to produce skin around the jewelry. During this time precautions and actions need to be taken to speed up healing and avoid infection. This varies greatly from person to person and I generally am talking about the minimum healing period.
      Upper ear cartildge piercing tend to be grumpy long after they have healed. They can be tender to the touch or acceptable to abuse years after they were pierced. Though 6he piercing isn't acceptable to infection, sleeping the piercing, wearing tight over ear headphones or wearing constructive headgear cam cause the piercing to be sore and tender. Also removing the jewelry for long periods of time may cause the piercing to close.

      @@meagandrake2374 honestly? The daith. But even that didn't hurt so bad, just mainly the pressure of the needle doing through the cartilage and a pinch when it pierced the skin. (And I'll tell ya, I have suffered chronic migraines my whole adult life, almost 25 years. At least once a week. I have not had a single one since! It doesn't work for everyone, but for me it does.) Both are worth it, they're super cute! You just have to make sure that you clean them properly, as your piercer advices. Also, make sure that you have a good piercer. My girl is amazing! The conch, I was scared it would really hurt, but it didn't any more than a regular helix. (To me, anyway. Everyone is different.) Both are on the inside of the ear, so if you forget and lay on your side, it doesn't hurt. Also they don't snag while you're brushing your hair. Almost 4 months into the daith and it's still healing. The conch, though I know is still healing, feels like it's done already. Just felt a little bruised for a few days after. I would totally do them both on each ear if the jewelry wouldn't hit each other! You should go for it! One in each ear ;)

I have a healing helix still but since it's out of action anyway may as well get them now and get the healing over with haha! So the daith has healed a bit better for you?

    • @DollyKauionalani
      @DollyKauionalani 5 лет назад

      The daith is the slowest to heal. ( on me anyway, everyone is different!) General rule of thumb is not to sleep on a healing piercing, period. It needs to breath and when you sleep on it, it puts unnecessary pressure. However, though I try to fall asleep on my back. I toss and turn in my sleep. I'm just thankful that it doesn't make it more sore due to how it's set down in the ear! I'm glad that you're getting them. Good luck!

    With a lot of piercings, I hear there are sort of two healing periods. The first shorter one is when it's, for all intents and purposes "healed," no more pain and you're able to switch out the jewelry. The second is when it's fully healed in every way. What would you say those two timeframes are for the conch and which rules apply to which time frame? Example, swimming in a pool or sleeping on it, first or second?

    • @DavidWilkinsDaVo
      @DavidWilkinsDaVo 5 лет назад +5

      This is DaVo btw. I'm signed onto my other account.
      I would say there are three stages.
      The first is the acceptance phase lasting a few days to weeks depending the piercing and the person's health. During this period the body reacts to the trauma of the piercing with discoloration, pain and tenderness to the touch, slight bleeding, heat and swelling.
      The second stage is when first stage ends and the body begins growing tissue around the jewelry. This can last for as little as 8 weeks up to over a year once again depend on the piercing and health. During this period the piercing is acceptable to infection and damage from trauma. It will produce discharge that will dry and crust on the piercing. This ends when the skin connects in the center of the piercing, the piercing holes will pull inward and it will stop producing discharge.
      The third stage is the seasoning stage where the body thickens the skin around the jewelry and grows slightly wider than the jewelry. This can take 6 months to 3 years to complete. During thus period removing the jewelry for even short periods of time will cause t gt e piercing to close. Also it should be completed before stretching the piercing.
      With Conch piercings and cartridges piercing, I wouldn't suggest swimming at all during the first two stages of healing to avoid infection or other issue. As far as sleeping, I have found that even after the piercing is completely healed, sleeping on the piercing or other trauma can cause a well healed piercing to be sore and grumpy. Like upper ear cartildge piercings the tend to be more sensitive to trauma than other piercings.

    I’m thinking about getting this piercing, but I’m not sure if now is a great time. It’s almost winter, and I love to wear hats. Can you wear hats with this piercing? Also, can you clean earbuds and wear them, wear over the ear headphones, or should I not use either of those. In addition, how long do you think it would have to be before I could switch to a hoop?

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  5 лет назад

      It would always be best to avoid any contact at all. The second best option is to make sure that anything that come in contact is cleaned disinfected regularly.
      With over the ear headphones, if there is pressure and contact I would avoid them.
      You want to wait until the piercing is completely healed before changing to a ring. The longer you wait the better.

      I'm not a fan of cotton balls. They can be a source of contamination and the loose strands of cotton can collect on the piercing and jewelry. A better option is a tightly woven sterile gauze sponge or a clean new folded up paper towel.
      An alternative to the pillow is a clean fluffy bath towel. Roll it up and shape it into a dounut and sleep with the piercing in the center.

      Definitely late to respond but, yeah it's strongly discouraged to move the healing piercing. It can open up the scab on the inside of the wound and lead to more complications

    I am going to pierce my ears in a week but I can't decide on doing my second lobes or the conch

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  4 года назад +1

      Talk to your piercer about the pros and cons of each. The Conch will be a more difficult and longer heal. Lobes means that you will be dealing with a piercing on each side which will impact sleeping, telephones, headphones, etc...

    Very informative video! Thank you for sharing that much info :)
    I just had my conch pierced with extra length room for possible swelling(w/stud). However I plan to relocate where piercing service is unreachable starting next month - should I visit the piercing studio and have it downsized within 4 weeks? My piercer said yes but I would wonder if that irritates the wound and cause further issues. *I consider myself a slow healer as I had my helix pierced 9 months ago and still feel pain and sour when switching the jewelry by my piercer.

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing

      Leaving the longer jewelry in until you can have it down sized. However if the piercing is healing well changing the jewelry shouldn't be an issue. Another option is buying the correct size, waiting until it heals and changing the jewelry yourself.

    For medical benefits, does either the left or right ear matter?

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  2 года назад

      I'm not sure what you mean by medical benefits. There is a lot of theories running around the internet that piercings will cure or help with medical conditions. All of these are based on acupuncture, reflexology, Eastern and Alternative Medicine. As I always tell my clients, I'm a professionally trained piercer and not a doctor or a acupuncturist. I'm going to place a piercing where it will heal and look best.

    Wondering if this piercing will hurt more than my tragus. The cartilage in my tragus is very thick, the piercer was sort of impressed by it. I feel like its thicker than where the conch would go. Tragus hurt going in, but as soon as I left the shop the pain was gone. Sad thing is that after almost 8 years my tragus still gets bumps and angry some times :(

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  5 лет назад

      It's really hard to say if one piercing is going to be more painful than another. The thing with tragus piercings is that the jewelry insertion is often the most uncomfortable part. The Conch usually isn't as bad.
      I'm sorry to hear that you are still having issues with your tragus. Is it possible that it is on the side that you sleep on?

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  4 года назад

      The pain should subside and only happen when the piercing has contact. If it is throbbing or being painful without contact, something is wiring and you should have it checked out.

      I'm a life long fan of Joy Division. Unknown Pleasures is about as close as you can get to a prefect album. They are just one of those bands that had long reaching influence but are rarely mentioned. And when they are it's always about Ian's death.

    Im little over a year healing. Not any pain but bumps come and go. They go away with sea salt rinses but then come right back because I can't seem to stay off it while I'm sleeping :( I don't fully understand because I healed my industrial on my other ear 15 years ago with no issues!

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  Год назад

      You might want to consider changing the jewelry. Often if the ring is too small or sits in the piercing at an angle it can lead to bumps.

    Hi, I just got mine... I have a question: what if I carefully clean my earphones every time before putting them on? Like with alcohol or any type of sanitizer or something like that? Would that be a good idea? Because I wear my earphones almost all the time 😅.

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  2 года назад

      If there is no contact with the piercing or the jewelry, you might be OK. The biggest thing is avoiding pressure on the piercing.

      Try elevating it off the bed using a neck pillow or a rolled up bath towel.

    It has been a month since my conch piercing. It is now getting really cold out. Can I wear a snow hat?

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  5 лет назад +1

      Yes, I would just try to limit contact with the piercing and make sure the hat is cleaned regularly.

    I'm thinking of getting a conch piercing but I need to wear earplugs at night to be able to sleep. Would this still be a possible piercing? Otherwise, I'm thinking a flat piercing

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  11 месяцев назад

      It's hard to say without seeing your anatomy and the earplugs. If the plugs have no contact with the area they should be fine as long as they are clean.

    I got mine done a week ago and while the piercer was introducing the needle it went through my ear yes, and also through the strap of my face mask… I’m guessing she was either new, nervous or hadn’t done a conch before cause she also didn’t pierce it in one go… thankfully it’s healing well though.

    I just got a conch piercing. I’m trying really hard not to let anything come in contact with it, but I have to wear a mask every day! Do you have any advice for reducing the irritation caused by masks or making sure this won’t cause an infection?

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  3 года назад +1

      Go on Amazon and get ear savers. They are this clip that pulls the mask strings away from your ears.

    I finally got mine done a few days ago. It didn't hurt at all. I didn't even feel it. It's been a few days and it still doesn't hurt. Didn't swell much. It only itches some. Wondering if it's normal??

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  7 месяцев назад

      Swelling and grumpiness is common with Conch piercings. Often they will be healing perfectly and then suddenly flare up.

    I’ve been thinking about getting a conch piercing for a while now but I tend to take a while in healing stages. I just wanted to ask what the best way to clean the piercing is? Some say salt solution and others say soap so I’m not sure which to believe

    • @BodyPiercingTattooing
      @BodyPiercingTattooing  5 лет назад

      Saline is the best option. I suggest twice daily. Added as a precaution against infection I suggest cleaning the area with an antimicrobial or germicidal soap once a day, twice if you feel like the area has been contaminated.
