1).16G　(Diameter: 1.2mm)

A thickness that can be used even for standard pierced ears.
This is a popular gauge size.
Even for those who have pierced their ears with 14G, if you haven't worn earrings for a while, the piercing hole may have shrunk, so 16G is recommended.

2).14G　(Diameter: 1.6mm)

If you pierced your ears with a 14G needle, please choose 14G.
Also, generally, people who have cartilage piercings or body piercing holes done at hospitals tend to have 14G.

Piercing hole thickness +1mm

Since it is easier to attach and detach parts and clean the barbell, we recommend choosing a size that is 1mm longer than the thickness of your piercing hole. Although it varies from person to person, 7mm is generally popular for inner conch piercings.
*If the length does not match,Return & Exchange ServicePlease use.
*If there is a possibility of swelling due to reasons such as the hole not being stable, an additional +1mm is recommended.

How to Measure the Thickness of a Piercing Hole

01. What You Need

Please prepare fashion earrings and a ruler. Set the earring backs in the "reverse" direction, and you're ready to go.

02. Put on the earrings

Please insert the earrings from the front while keeping the catch attached.

03. Shift the catchphrase

Please slide the catch to the surface position of the ear. At this time, press with your finger so that the tip of the post does not come out from the back of the ear.

04. Measurement

The thickness of the ear is measured from the position of the catch to the tip of the post.

About Metal Allergies

The cause of allergic reactions from plated products is the corrosion that allows the internal metal to erode to the surface. The barbells sold by PICOLLET use only 18K gold (K18) and platinum (Pt850) materials, so there is no need to worry about allergic reactions caused by erosion.

What is Inner Conc?

Inner conch piercings are piercings made inside the antihelix (the raised cartilage in the center of the ear). Although it is a recessed area, it is a position that easily catches the eye, making it popular not only among younger people but also those in their 40s and 50s.

First, we recommend deciding the location based on the design of the earrings you want to wear.
Please note that users of earphones need to avoid interference with the earphones.
Before opening the inner conch, we recommend putting on your earphones and deciding the opening position.

Inner conch cartilage is hard, so you may feel pain when the needle penetrates. Since going slowly with the needle can increase pain, please insert the needle quickly, and be careful not to make mistakes when connecting with the first piercing.
Also, since the pain after opening may last longer, it is reassuring to have painkillers prepared in advance.
Some people may not feel any pain, but if you are concerned, make sure to have it done at a clinic that offers anesthesia.

Inner conch piercings are made in the recessed cartilage at the center of the ear. It is difficult to pierce with a piercing gun and requires a needle. Additionally, due to its deep location, it is hard to see in the mirror, making it a challenging area to pierce straight. If done incorrectly, it can even cause swelling up to the lymph nodes, so it is recommended to have it done at a clinic.

*Piercing is a medical procedure. We basically recommend having it done at a clinic.

To avoid putting strain on your pierced holes, choose lightweight materials that are metal allergy-friendly and designs that do not catch or snag.
Until it stabilizes, use a barbell with a straight bar, and choose a length that is at least 2mm longer than the piercing hole length, considering possible swelling.
Since this area tends to swell more easily than other parts, it is necessary to monitor the progress and be careful to prevent the first piercing from becoming embedded.
Inner conchs can also accommodate ring-type earrings, but ring types are more prone to movement and are therefore not suitable as first earrings.
Let's refrain from wearing ring-type earrings until it stabilizes.

Depending on the shape of the ear and the position of the piercing hole, smaller sizes are popular when using earphones.
For symmetrical designs on all sides, a smaller size of approximately 3.2mm in diameter is recommended.
If there is no problem with earphone interference, a curved design that follows the curve of the inner conch also suits well.
Also, since it is a recessed area, if you are not used to changing it, simple designs such as diamonds or pearls that easily match your outfit are recommended.

Inner conch piercings tend to swell more easily than other cartilage areas and are more prone to complications.
Daily care can prevent troubles, so be sure to continue care until it stabilizes.
Specifically, rinse your pierced holes with the shower every day during your bath. To prevent shampoo residue and the like, make sure to rinse your pierced holes at the end, just before you finish your bath.
When rinsing with the shower, there is no need to forcibly move the earrings. It can actually cause irritation, so just rinse with the water pressure from the shower.
Disinfection and ointment application do not need to be done daily, but if you notice any minor inflammation, pus, or granulation tissue, be sure to perform them.

If you experience any trouble, please check whether you are wearing earrings made of materials suitable for your skin type and whether the length of the barbell is appropriate. If symptoms worsen, be sure to visit a clinic promptly.
