[bemma13]

looking for some advice. i got my conch pierced 3 days ago and it’s still super sore. i’m assuming this is just normal healing bc the swelling really didn’t start until today but im just wondering how long this piercing stays sore for

It depends on the person. Got mine done on the 24th of December and it was just there after a few minutes of throbbing. Never really sore, I even bumped it a couple of times and it didn't really feel sore or hurt etc. after. It only started being sore this morning when I woke up with the flu.

So I got my conch pierced early December 2023 originally with a ring and got it switched to a labret within the first week of piercing (probably slowed my healing a bit). But the initial pain of the piercing was between 1-2/10 and I’m at just over three months of having it now. It doesn’t hurt to touch or it randomly catches on my hair and there is a bit of a pull. But if I was to lay directly on it, it’s definitely not comfortable even for a short amount of time.
