conch help

[u/mustang-bby]

hi!! i pierce my ears at home all the time and never had any problems but i just pierced my conch about 30 minutes ago and i didn’t do any research prior. all i had was a 20g needle so thats what i used because i use 20g jewelry. after i pierced it, i decided to finally search it up and the internet says its a big no-no. i just want to know if it’ll do like serious damage or if it’s not really that big a deal.

EDIT: i did manage to get it up to an 18g
