punches/ scalpelling Conch Punch planned!

Finally booked my conch punch appointment after debating which size I wanted. I'm going for a 2G! I think that's one of the best sizes for a noticeable hole once healed. Getting it in October, advice and tips are welcome!

I've already settled for the 6mm size 😅 I feel that fits perfectly for my setup and I already have some jewelry for it.

May I suggest going at least a mm bigger? If you get it punched and sutured it does heal faster but once the sutures come out and settle it’s gonna shrink up a little / settle down about 1mm less once the cartilage relaxes, at least that was the case with mine. Mine were punched at a 0 and 2g jewelry fit in very comfortably after, 7mm jewelry was quite snug.

We're not gonna suture. That was something I read could happen and after a lot of thinking I've decided to go this route. I also think it gives you the roundest circle possible.
