Although Inner and Outer conches have similar names, they are very different to heal and require different jewellery selections.
The outer conch lacks protection from surrounding skin and therefore should be initially pierced with low profile jewellery. They can feel a little uncomfortable and a bit of pressure to get done, however they are very quick!
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.
