How much dose it
Posted on September 23, 2008, 3:13 pmHow much dose it hurt?
--Depends on your tolerance for pain and the skill of the piercer. It hurts, but only for a second.
How long is the healing process?
--cartilage piercings like the conch are slow healers. Expect several months for full healing.
Should I get a stud or hoop? Wich one is better for the healing process?
--either ring style jewelry or bar style jewelry would work. For healing, you want a good fit and quality jewelry. Discuss this with your piercer.
Will there always be a hole there in my ear if I get it one and then someday take it out?
--probably, yes. If you fully heal cartilage and then remove it, it won't grow back together again, but may shrink.

How much dose it hurt? -As
Posted on September 23, 2008, 4:09 pmHow much dose it hurt?
-As Cloud said, it depends on your pain tolerance as it's different for everyone. In my experience, the few months after is worse than the piercing itself.
How long is the healing process?
-Cartilage piercing healing time is about 6-12 months. I've had my outer conch for about 7 months, it's not healed yet. However my inner conch seemed to heal around the 6 month period (although I don't remember for sure).
Should I get a stud or hoop? Wich one is better for the healing process?
-IMO a stud is better, hoops just seem to get bumped way too much.
Will there always be a hole there in my ear if I get it one and then someday take it out?
-If you get it dermal punched there's a bigger chance of it never closing than if you plan to get it pierced at a smaller gauge.
It's called STRETCHING your piercings, not gauging them.
