We never use piercing guns—only professional piercing needles.

What Is a Conch Piercing?
A conch piercing is placed through the thick cartilage in the centre of the ear, known as the concha. There are two main types:
Inner Conch
Positioned in the bowl-shaped centre of the ear, the inner conch is usually fitted with a beautiful titanium labret stud during healing.
Outer Conch
Positioned slightly further towards the outer edge of the ear, this piercing can often be changed to a hoop once fully healed.
We'll assess your ear anatomy during your consultation and recommend the most suitable placement for both appearance and healing.
Conch Piercing from Age 12+
At Rènü Dermatology, we offer conch piercings from the age of 12+.
For clients under 16 years old:
- A parent or legal guardian must attend the appointment
- Valid photo ID is required
- Consent forms must be completed before treatment
We always ensure younger clients understand the procedure and feel comfortable before we begin.
Why We Use Needles Instead of Piercing Guns
Cartilage should never be pierced using a gun.
Professional hollow needles create a clean, precise opening through the cartilage, allowing jewellery to be inserted smoothly while minimising unnecessary trauma.
Benefits include:
- Accurate placement
- Cleaner piercing channel
- Less trauma to the cartilage
- Reduced swelling
- Better healing conditions
- Sterile single-use equipment
- Professional body piercing standard
For these reasons, we only use sterile single-use needles.
Implant Grade Titanium Jewellery
Every fresh conch piercing is fitted with implant-grade titanium jewellery.
Titanium is widely regarded as one of the safest materials for new piercings because it is:
- Nickel-free
- Hypoallergenic
- Lightweight
- Highly biocompatible
- Resistant to corrosion
- Comfortable to wear throughout healing
Premium jewellery plays an important role in promoting healthy healing and reducing irritation.
Single-Use Sterile Equipment
Every appointment uses fresh sterile equipment.
This includes:
- Sterile single-use piercing needles
- Fresh sterile gloves
- Single-use skin markers
- Sterile gauze
- Medical-grade skin preparation
- Sterile disposable equipment
Nothing that comes into contact with your piercing is ever reused.

Healing Your Conch Piercing
Because the conch passes through cartilage, healing takes longer than an ear lobe piercing.
Most conch piercings heal within 6–12 months, although healing times vary from person to person.
During healing we recommend:
- Cleaning twice daily with sterile saline solution
- Avoiding touching or twisting the jewellery
- Sleeping on the opposite side where possible
- Keeping headphones and hair away from the piercing during the early stages
- Avoiding unnecessary pressure or trauma
We'll provide comprehensive written and verbal aftercare instructions to help your piercing heal as smoothly as possible.
Complete Your Ear Curation
The conch piercing pairs beautifully with:
- Helix piercings
- Flat piercings
- Tragus piercings
- Forward helix piercings
- Stacked lobes
- Daith piercings
If you're looking to build a curated ear, we'll help you choose placements that complement your anatomy and personal style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a conch piercing hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, sharp pinch followed by some pressure. The piercing itself only takes a few seconds.
How long does a conch piercing take to heal?
Most conch piercings take around 6–12 months to heal fully.
Can I wear a hoop straight away?
For most clients, a titanium labret stud is recommended during healing. Once your piercing has healed fully, it can usually be changed to a hoop if your anatomy is suitable.
