Double Conch Piercings by Chris Shipman | Medway MA

Fresh paired double conch cartilage piercings by professional piercer Chris Shipman at Visions Tattoo Gallery in Medway Massachusetts

A double conch setup is a great example of how piercing can become more than adding a single piece of jewelry—it can become part of a larger ear-curation strategy.

This fresh double conch piercing was performed by Chris Shipman, Senior Piercer at Visions Tattoo, Piercing & Art Gallery. Chris has more than 18 years of professional piercing experience and focuses on creating personalized piercings based on anatomy, aesthetics, jewelry selection, and long-term goals.

The two conch placements create a strong visual relationship while leaving plenty of room for the jewelry to become the focal point. Rather than simply placing two piercings next to each other, the positioning can be considered as a composition—spacing, alignment, anatomy, and future jewelry choices all matter.

What Makes a Double Conch Different?

The conch is the bowl-shaped portion of cartilage in the center of the ear. Because there is limited real estate in this area, precise placement is especially important when planning multiple conch piercings.

A professional piercer will assess the individual's anatomy before deciding whether a requested placement is appropriate. At Visions, anatomy consultations are an important part of the piercing process, and alternative placements may be recommended when a particular configuration isn't appropriate for safe healing.

That's what makes a double conch especially interesting: the finished look may appear simple, but achieving that simplicity requires careful planning.

Building an Ear Curation Around the Conch

One of the advantages of a paired conch setup is its potential to become an anchor point for a larger ear curation.

Depending on anatomy and existing piercings, future additions could include:

• Helix piercings

• Flat piercings

• Forward helix piercings

• Lobe piercings

• Daith or rook piercings

• Additional jewelry upgrades

The goal isn't necessarily to fill every available space. Great ear curation is often about balance, negative space, proportion, and jewelry selection.

Visions offers both implant-grade titanium and solid gold jewelry, giving clients options for creating a cohesive collection as their piercings heal and evolve.
