If you are not satisfied with a tattoo that has grown old and faded, it is time to get rid of your old tattoo. There are a few different methods available to remove your tattoo, from using natural home remedies to more invasive procedures like laser treatment. The best thing to do is consult a tattoo removal professional and find out what your options are.

Tattoos can be fun and incredibly creative, but they also come with a high risk of infection or damage to the skin. That’s why it’s important to make sure that you choose a reputable tattoo studio to perform your tattoo.

Getting a Conch Piercing

If you are looking to get a new piercing, a conch piercing may be the right choice for you. This type of piercing is often easier than other types of cartilage piercings and can help you look more fashionable.

Conch piercings are typically performed by needle or dermal punch, so it’s crucial that you pick a professional who is experienced in performing these procedures. If you aren’t careful, a poorly executed piercing could lead to infection around your conch and a keloid scar.

Healing From A Conch Piercing

The healing process from a conch piercing varies from person to person. You may be able to close the piercing up within a few hours, but it can take several months for your piercing to fully heal.

It’s especially important to follow proper aftercare during the initial weeks of your piercing to help prevent infection and keep you healthy while it is healing. Your piercer will have specific aftercare advice, but generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid twisting and moving your ear jewelry during this period.

Use a Salt Water Solution For Your Conch Piercing

One way to clean your piercing is with a plain sea salt solution. This is a great way to keep your conch piercing clean and promote faster healing. You can either make a saltwater solution yourself or buy some at your local health store.

Another method for cleaning your piercing is by washing it with soap and warm water. Just make sure you don’t rub the piercing hard or use harsh chemicals such as rubbing alcohol or peroxide, which can damage it.

You can also use an ointment with antiseptic properties on your piercing to prevent any infections from developing. The antiseptic will kill any bacteria that has built up in the area, making it less likely to develop an infection or a keloid.

Your Ear Piercing Can Help You Deal With Pain

Some people say that conch piercings can help relieve acute and chronic pain, such as migraine and chronic headaches. There’s no scientific evidence to support this, but acupuncture and acupressure are known to be effective for relieving pain in certain parts of the body.

The piercing process can be painful, but it is relatively simple and pain-free when performed by a skilled piercer. You’ll feel a sharp pain for seconds when the piercing is done, but the pain will disappear in a few seconds once the procedure is over.
