Flat

Due to the unique placement and healing requirements of this piercing, we require a consultation with one of our practitioners to discuss whether the piercing will be possible with your anatomy.

The outer conch lacks protection from surrounding skin and therefore should be initially pierced with low profile jewellery that will sit flat to your anatomy. They require regular check-ups with your practitioner, to ensure appropriate healing.

Sleeping on the piercing isn’t recommended while healing as it will drastically reduce your success rate, as well as increasing your chance of scarring. Because of this, we will not perform a cartilage piercing on your ear, if you have a piercing healing on the opposite side.
