I had my conch pierced today in an outer position as I want to wear a ring when healed. Before I had it done I did some research and it said to make sure you were pierced with a bar and not a hoop. So afr so good. However, my piercer said they would use a curved bar as this could cause less iritation when the time comes to change to a hoop. I didn't think anything of this at the time. However, after having a read about the size of bars (mine feels quite long) I have read SO many posts saying this is a massive red flag and should never be done. I am concerned now about healing. I could understand her thinking, but the curve of the bar faces down so not the direction a ring would go anyway? I know I will need to downsize in few weeks anyway, so wondering if I could change type of bar then or if would be too late?
Any advice much appreciated!
