According to Pearce, conch piercings [1] are sure to be on the "favorites" list of every piercer and stylist for 2023. Many piercers consider this to be one of the easier-healing cartilage piercings, and it doesn't look half bad, either.

"If your ear was a heliocentric model, the conch piercing would almost certainly be the sun," Pearce says. "It's capable of housing large, beautiful statement pieces and can be worn both as a stud or even with a decorative ring once properly healed. And because of its forward-facing nature, it's easily admired by those you're engaging with in conversation, making it an integral part of your look almost immediately."
