Members helped clarify that a conch piercing is located in the middle cartilage of the ear, with several sharing their experiences and perspectives on using ear piercings as an alternative approach to pain management. One member mentioned that their daughter tried a daith piercing for migraines without success, while another shared that their partner, a trained acupuncturist, used ear placements for pain relief. The original poster ultimately decided against the piercing after learning it goes through tough cartilage, concerned about added pain and potential difficulty sleeping.

Thanks for the information Yorkshire lass, after looking at it, I've decided not to bother with the conch piercing, when I found out exactly where it was I felt my ear in that place and was already thinking that it would painful going through such a tough area, nothing like having your ear lobes pierced, I actually did those myself with a sterile needle and an ice cube when I was 14, I have two holes in the lobes one done at the shop and one I did myself, the one that they the shop did got infected the one I did myself was fine if not perfectly level. I have enough pain and trouble sleeping already, so I don't want to add to it. X
