i was pierced with a 14G captive ring but that ended up not agreeing with my ear, so i went to a different piercer who put a 14G circular barbell in instead.... i'm still having some trouble so i was thinking of putting a curved barbell in my conch instead -- but what length would suit an inner conch the best?

If I saw something good, I guess I wouldn't worry.

That's a question for your piercer. Everybody's anatomy is different, its something they'll determine in person. They can determine what size is best for you. Smiling

I healed one of my inner conches with a cbr, and it was a pain in the butt, it was always in the way. I healed the other with a flatback, and it was MUCH easier, and I've since changed the other one to match. I've found it's tough to find the perfect length, but so worth it.

I did my conch myself with a 14g CBR... and let it heal with that. It was a pain in the ass but I didn't want a horse shoe in in.

Now since it's (mostly) healed, I have a curved barbel in it. When I went to my piercer he said normally about a 3/4in so it has room to move and everything.

Again, I have to agree with Dariattack, ask your piercer for the size. everyone has different ears, and all piercers have different advice.

Hi I had my conch pierced with a 14g labret stud and I had no trouble at all let it heal which took about 3 weeks to heal fully with no crusties and no pain changed it for a smaller length labret stud after 6 weeks and absolutley love it thinking of getting one on my other ear now : }

I had my inner conch done with a 14g barbell, healed really well. I wouldn't personally recommend CBRs as when my conch had healed, I tried one in it and when I slept on it it irritated the piercing SO much.
