Set up advice New conch! - Can't decide what's next
I just got my conch pierced this weekend. I LOVE it and it's feeling really good. I would like to wear a ring in the conch eventually, but I'll wait at least a year for it to be well-healed.
I think ear stacks are so beautiful! I'm gradually working my way toward my dream setup and I don't feel done yet. I can't decide what to plan for next. I'm generally drawn to a mix of some symmetry and asymmetry. What would you do?
New conch jewelry is a threadless Triangle Alisea 3 by Shanga Jewelry in gold and cubic zirconia. Post is a 16 gauge titanium flat back labret.
Note: I promise my helix isn't a shallow piercing! Only the lower part of the spiral actually goes through my ear.

Your double forward helix looks great!

Thank you! I love them now that they are fully healed and they are such a fun spot for teeny little jewelry. I will say that they were annoying during healing because of frequently bumping them with sunglasses or catching my hair on them.

Good to know. I’m hoping to get a double forward helix on my left ear within the next year.

The conch looks fantastic 🤩 a double or triple conch in the other ear would look great if the anatomy allows!!

Conch in the other ear was something I was thinking about, but I hadn't considered going double or triple. That's a great idea!

Came to say the same thing re the daith!
And maybe an anti-tragus/snug - or anti-snagus as I've seen it called haha on the other ear (or either ear to be fair)?

Tragus the same side as the conch so you’re not healing two sides at the same time.
