What is a daith piercing?

The daith piercing is pierced through the inner cartilage fold of the ear, directly above the ear canal. It lies below the rook and next to the tragus. The central position directly in the middle of the ear gives your ear look a striking yet subtle elegance. The circular shape of a daith ring adapts perfectly to the shape of your ear and is guaranteed to catch the eye. The daith is one of the most popular ear piercings, and not without reason. The ability to experiment with many different pieces of jewelry makes the daith piercing unique. Whether small bars (curved bars), discreet daith rings or sparkling clickers set with zirconia stones - the choice of piercing jewelry is endless.

Is the daith piercing painful?

Many people ask themselves whether the daith piercing is more painful than other piercings. Because it is pierced through a thick layer of cartilage, the pain is definitely more intense than with an earlobe piercing, which is only pierced through tissue. Whether it is more painful than other cartilage piercings, such as the conch or helixdepends on the individual's perception of pain. As a rule, the daith piercing is around 6-7 on a scale of 1 to 10, but don't worry, the pain only lasts a few seconds :)

How long does it take for a daith piercing to heal?

The healing time of a daith piercing is also very individual; however, it usually takes between 3 and 9 months. During the healing phase, it is important to take the right piercing care to avoid possible infections and to promote quick and uncomplicated healing. As the daith is pierced through the ear cartilage, healing always takes a little longer than with softer skin areas such as the earlobe. The daith piercing should always be pierced with a curved bar or a ring to avoid complications during the healing process. After piercing, you should not exercise for at least 72 hours and not sleep on the piercing for 8 weeks.

Does the Daith piercing help against migraines?

Some people know the daith as a 'migraine piercing' and many people deliberately choose to have a daith in the hope that it will cure their migraine. When piercing, you hit an acupuncture point that is supposed to stimulate the brain to produce the body's own pain inhibitors. Although it has not been scientifically proven to cure migraines, positive experience reports suggest that there may be a connection.

How do you clean a daith piercing?

The right care of your daith piercing is crucial for smooth healing. A sterile saline solution or a special piercing care product can be used to clean the piercing. Contamination caused by environmental influences should be avoided. Our Daith jewelry from 14K gold can be easily cleaned with soap and water or, in the case of deeper soiling, with an ultrasonic cleaning device. Use our free gold polishing cloth to give your daith piercing a new shine.

The ideal daith piercing jewelry

The daith ring is the classic and most widely used jewelry for this piercing, as its round shape adapts perfectly to the shape of the ear. Rings set with shiny stones are also very popular. Small bars can also be worn in the daith piercing. It is particularly important that the jewelry not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but is also comfortable to wear in everyday life. Here you will find delicate and high-quality daith rings in different sizes that you can wear 24/7.

What diameter do I need for my daith piercing?

The daith piercing is available in several different sizes. As a rule, it has an inner diameter of 8mm, 9mm or 10mm. Before buying your daith piercing, you should check the individual anatomy of your ear and the thickness of your inner cartilage fold to find the right inner diameter. You should also pay attention to the size of the design so that it doesn't look too big or too small on your ear. If the daith ring is set with large stones, the piercing often looks larger than a plain gold ring.

Daith Piercing: Materials

Choosing the right material for your daith piercing is essential for smooth healing and, above all, for a comfortable wearing experience in everyday life. The most popular materials are gold, titanium or stainless steel. If you don't want to change your daith piercing every day in the shower, we recommend choosing real gold as the material. Ideally, the gold content should be 58.5% (14 carat), because 14K gold piercings retain their shine, regardless of whether you shower, swim or play sport. You can wear them 24/7 and never have to take them off. Say goodbye to irritation or discoloration, because gold is hypoallergenic and one of the best tolerated materials there is.
