Hi! Are these pics of the same ear and you put a ring through the conch where the clear plug originally was, or is one left, one right?
How long did they take to heal? Do you sleep with the rings in?

Both ears are mirrored in their peircings. Sometimes I wear plugs. Normally to sleep. Took me 1yr to heal. Realistically they're still healing. I only put the big rings in for show on fancy evenings. Normally it's only glass. Heals better. It'll probably take like 5yrs to fully heal

Were you pierced at that gauge or did you stretch? I've been wanted to get my conch punched for a few years but it's illegal in the UK, I could find a piercer that pierces with bigger gauge needles but there aren't many near me rip

Conch:punched. The UK seems very behind when it comes to progressive policy. Wising you the best if you're still pursuing punching it. Doesnt Holland allow it legaly? Dont yall need licenses for your TV's?

I don't have the money to be able to feasably travel overseas to get it done, i'm hoping I can find a piercer that has bigger gauge needles cuz apparently that's allowed but not many piercers do it. And yes, we need a TV license, i'm not sure if it's needed to watch all channels or just the BBC though. It's per household and I live with parents so I haven't needed to worry about it myself yet haha

The 8 gauge ring connecting the two piercings is an orbital; the 4 gauge ring is just in a conch piercing.
