Received a protected blow job from a sex worker
I received a protected blow job from a sex worker i got a full std test done 8 weeks after it happened all came up clear. I am worried about possible syphilis infection as she licked my balls and her lips touched the bottom of my penis shaft that wasn't covered by the condom. Should i still be worried? Or are my test conclusive?

You had very little risk from protected oral sex, and your tests are conclusive at 8 weeks. You can let this go now.

Sorry if im getting anoying but I see some sources say that syphilis takes 12 weeks to be conclusive and others say 6 weeks conclusive. What are my chances of contracting this? And do u recommend i re test at 12 weeks?
Technically, it is 12 weeks, but without symptoms, and having had protected oral sex, and syphilis being uncommon in most developed countries, most feel that 6 weeks is conclusive.
If you'd had a known syphilis exposure (unprotected sex with someone who you know had syphilis), I might say test at 12 weeks, but I'd also suggest that you get treated anyway.

Okay so overall you think its safe? Even though her lips and tongue may have touched my balls and the bottom of my penis shaft?
Thanks so much for your advice too
Yes, STI experts don't think one oral sex encounter warrants testing at all, and you tested negative at 8 weeks. You're fine.
