Daith Piercing Basics

A Daith piercing is one of the most popular ear cartilage piercing types. This piercing goes through the innermost fold of the cartilage, the one right above the ear canal. This is a very attractive place that makes for effective piercings.

While some people pronounce “Daith” as “dayth”, the correct pronunciation of a Daith piercing is “doth”. Some people claim that piercing on this particular spot helps with migraines because of the exact pressure spot and the jewelry that sits just on the right place. This is just one of the reasons why Daith piercings are so popular. Other reasons include aesthetics and novelty. Daith piercing may be small but it is very attractive, especially when you pair it with shiny yet effective jewelry pieces. It is also unusual and different than other ear piercings so it can attract a lot of attention while still being discreet and elegant. 

Jewelry for Daith Piercing

One thing you need to know about a Daith piercing is that the innermost fold of the ear cartilage is small. Even those who can get a Daith piercing without a problem need to understand how small this area is. It means that it is not possible to have a large gauge piercing on this spot. It is also important to know what kind of jewelry you can use.

Daith jewelry is not very varied but it can be extremely effective. A lot of it depends on the small area of the cartilage. Since this piece of cartilage is generally small, you cannot wear large or heavy jewelry. Instead, people opt for small studs or ear piercing rings. Some people use small Surgical Steel rings for their Daith piercing. Others opt for more luxurious pieces, such as gold studs or diamond piercing rings.

Whatever you do, keep in mind that a Daith uses a small piece of cartilage so you should never go overboard. Part of the beauty of a Daith piercing is that it is small and discreet, so it’s important to use only appropriate jewelry for it.

What if you Have a Daith Too Small to Pierce

Many people can enjoy Daith piercings to the fullest. However, it is important to note that not all people can get this particular piercing. A lot depends on the anatomy.
