Does any one know if it is better to get a conch piercing with a hoop or barbell?
barbell will look better, but for the first month it would be best to have the hoop. The hoop allows you to easily clean the area daily, and by turning it to clean you get the inside area well, and with a minimal amount of bothering the area. Cleaning a barbell is difficult for a new peircing, and also makes you fuss around with the area too much before it is healed. I say do the hoop for 1 or 2 months (use plenty of seasalt) and then switch to a barbell after you are all healed up.
