10 Reasons Why Conch Ear Piercings Are All the Rage RN

Piercing has been a major style category since forever. And because this trend never seems to fade away, there’s always a new part to adorn — especially when it comes to the ears. In 2018, that sweet spot is the conch, the cartilage in the middle section of the ear (its resemblance to a large shell is where it gets the name). Below you’ll find our favorite shapes for conch piercings, along with some of the prettiest *and* daintiest jewels to invest in for year-round wear.

The Fabulous Floret

Conch & forward helix pierced with Neometal studs by Mike. The conch was done with a clear #swarovski flower and the forward helix was done with a prong-set #wateropal swarovski stud. These are gonna heal up nicely because of Neometal’s implant-grade titanium quality 👌 . . . #perfectimage #perfectimagelondon #londonon #londonont #londonontario #ldnont #canadaslondon #519 #richmondrow #uwo #westernu #westernuniversity #fanshawe #fanshawecollege #downtownlondon #downtownlondonon #downtownlondonontario #forestcity #getdtl #getdtldn #tattooartistsofontario #canadiantattooartists #ontariotattoos #neometal #conchpiercing #forwardhelix #bodypiercer #professionalpiercer
