Daith Piercing
The daith piercing has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is located in the inner cartilage fold above the ear canal. Its central location makes it a real eye-catcher, as does the wide range of unique piercing designs. In this article, you'll learn everything you need to know about the daith piercing, from placement to the ideal daith jewelry and proper care.
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 . Its central position, right 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 be an eye-catcher. The daith is one of the most popular ear piercings, and for good reason. The ability to experiment with many different jewelry pieces makes the daith piercing unique. Whether small bars (curved bars), subtle daith rings, or sparkling clickers set with zirconia stones – the selection of piercing jewelry is endless.
Is daith piercing painful?
Many people wonder if a daith piercing is more painful than other piercings. Because it's pierced through a thick layer of cartilage, the pain is definitely more intense than with an earlobe piercing, which only pierces through tissue. Whether it's more painful than other cartilage piercings, such as the conch or helix , depends on the individual's pain sensitivity. Generally, a daith piercing falls around a 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 for a daith piercing also varies greatly from individual to individual; however, it typically takes between three and nine months. During the healing phase, it's important to follow proper piercing care to avoid potential infections and promote quick and uncomplicated healing. Because the daith piercing is pierced through the ear cartilage, healing always takes a little longer than with softer skin areas like the earlobe. The daith piercing should always be pierced with a curved bar or ring to avoid complications during the healing process. After the piercing, you should avoid exercising for at least 72 hours and sleeping on the piercing for eight weeks.
Does a daith piercing help against migraines?
Some people also know the daith piercing as a 'migraine piercing,' and many even deliberately choose a daith piercing in the hope that it will cure their migraines. During the piercing, an acupuncture point is hit, which is said to stimulate the brain to produce the body's own painkillers. While there is no scientific evidence that it cures migraines, positive reports suggest that there may be a connection.
How do you clean a daith piercing?
Proper care of your daith piercing is crucial for smooth healing. You can use a sterile saline solution or a special piercing care product to clean the piercing. Environmental contamination should be avoided. Our 14k gold daith jewelry can be easily cleaned with soap and water, or, for deeper contamination, with an ultrasonic cleaner. Our free gold polishing cloth will restore your daith piercing to its former glory.
The ideal Daith Piercing Jewelry
The daith ring is the classic and most common jewelry choice for this piercing, as its round shape adapts perfectly to the shape of the ear. Rings studded with shiny stones are also very popular. Small bars can also be worn in daith piercings. It's especially important that the jewelry not only looks aesthetically pleasing but is also comfortable to wear every day. We offer delicate, high-quality daith rings in various sizes that you can wear 24/7.
What diameter do I need for my daith piercing?
Daith piercings come in several different sizes. They typically have an inner diameter of 8mm, 9mm, or 10mm. Before purchasing a daith piercing, you should consider your individual ear anatomy 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 it doesn't look too big or too small on your ear. If the daith ring is set with large stones, the piercing often appears 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 everyday wear. The most popular materials are gold, titanium, or stainless steel. If you don't want to change your daith piercing every day while showering, we recommend choosing real gold. The gold content should ideally be 58.5% (14 karat), as 585 gold piercings retain their shine, whether you're showering, swimming, or exercising. 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 most well-tolerated materials available.
Styling and different looks
We offer a wide range of daith designs and gold colors, from simple rings to eye-catching pieces with sparkling zirconia stones . You can easily customize your daith to your personal style, ensuring it complements any outfit. Its central location on the ear makes it a real eye-catcher and guaranteed to draw attention. Our delicate piercings also add a special touch of elegance to your look.
