Hey, Iāve got four lives, cartilage, flat and conch.
I have a titanium hoop, healed ok just be careful catching on tops, taking them on and off. I caught by and it was worse than the piercing.The piercing stung but no issues. I used a saline spray, it had a long novel on, just so I didnāt have to keep messing and touching and it was much easier.
The only other thing I would say, get it in the eye you donāt tend to sleep on, itās not great at the beginning but as I said I have a hoop so probably doesnāt help.
Good luck, itās worth it when you find a nice earring in your conch.
