conch piercing jewelry curved barbell to a horseshoe?

By admin on Jul. 2, 2010.

I went to change my inner conch piercing to a horse shoe ring and I cant seem to figure out how to get it on? Would it be to small? It just seems like its not in far enough but I cant put it in any more without having to turn it?
Sorry its hard to explain.. but thanks for any help!

You need to find an internally threaded ring that’s the proper gauge and diameter for your piercing. Externally threaded rings can be tough to put in because they often cause damage to your fistula. You need to get a ring at whatever gauge your piercing was done at. Diameter is measured across the inside diameter of the ring, For a conch, you’ll probably need something with a large diameter. For example, mine are 1/2" in diameter, and my ears are tiny. I can’t picture any adult being able to wear something smaller in diameter than 7/16" there. If you’re not sure what size you need to be able to make it around your ear, talk to a piercer. A piercer can also help you insert a new ring.
