An '''outer conch piercing''' is a piercing through the outer shell of the ear. It is actually a somewhat unusual placement when it comes to "normal" sized piercing because most people tend to pierce along the edge of the ear ([[Helix piercing|helix piercing]]) which one could argue are not really outer conch piercings, or do [[Inner conch piercing]] instead.
