Cool Conch!

See that bar in the middle of my ear? It's my conch. And I have completely fallen in love with it. I don't really know what possessed me to get my conch pierced, but it had been over a year since I had gotten something done with my friend Taylor, so I got my conch pierced. And I finally decided to write about it since I know everyone wants to know all about it.

Let's see. I got it done this past Tuesday by a girl named Liz. You can check her website out here: http://www.skinliz.com/ She's awesome. I found her online and read good reviews so I decided to give it a shot.

So here's what went down. She cleaned my ear, and then marked it a kajillion times haha. I knew where I wanted it, but it was hard to convey that to her. Eventually she marked a spot that I was satisfied with. The probably took like five minutes. Then she had me lay down which was actually so much better than sitting up. It was so much more comfy. And plus it gave me less of a chance to move or whatever when she was doing it.

Now 95% of the stories I've read and of the things people have told me led me to believe this was going to hurt like hell. Everything I had heard or read said that this was the worst pain ever, and that it bled like crazy, etc. So I had been second guessing myself and wondering if I really wanted it. But I finally decided that no matter how bad the pain was, I was going to go through with it.

So she lined up the needle with the dot on my ear and pushed it through and well, it wasn't bad at all. I was expecting massive amounts of pain, and there wasn't any. It was probably my least painful piercing. I mean yes it hurt, but it was nothing compared to any of my other piercings. At first it just felt like a lot of pressure, and then as it was coming out the back of my ear it felt kind of like a dull ache. And by that time it was through and the pain went away.

The worst part by far was when she slid the bar in. Now that hurt. A lot. But it was quick and before I knew it she had the balls screwed on, and I was done. And I didn't bleed at all, which I was surprised about.

I am so happy with my conch piercing. It looks so awesome, and wasn't bad at all. I really don't know how I got so lucky with this piercing. It doesn't hurt now, unless I touch it or it gets knocked. It's not swollen or anything.

But please don't just take my words for face value. Just because I had such a good experience doesn't mean you will if you decide to get this done. Everyone's different. I remember when I got my industrial. That was the worst pain ever! That hurt soooooooooo bad!!! I remember telling myself I was never ever going to do that again. But then I also have friends that have gotten their industrial who said it didn't hurt. So it's different for everyone. But don't let the pain deter you from getting it done if you want it. It's like 2 seconds of pain for an awesome looking piercing! I love mine so much that I'm eventually gonna get my right one done once I can sleep on my left one.
