What to Know Before Getting a Daith Piercing

What is a Daith Piercing?

If you are looking for a unique and simplistic piecing choose the daith piercing. Daith piercings go through the small piece of cartilage above and slightly behind the tragus. Daith piercings have been claimed to help with relieving symptoms for migraine sufferers. This is linked to pressure points and the piercing being equivalent to applying a constant pressure to the pressure point.

Always use a professional piercing technician and seek advice to find out if a daith piercing is suitable for you.

How to Style Your Daith Piercing

Style your daith piercing with a hoop style earring, a barbell or clicker hoop. The options are endless, from dainty earrings to a curated ear stack, the daith adds an elegant aesthetic to your ear.

The piercer will use a needle to pierce your daith and healing time can vary from around 6-9 months. Always check the sizing of your piercing and diameter of the jewellery.
