The daith piercing is particularly eye-catching when done correctly, with the rest of the ear creating a perfect frame around it. Here are some key points about the procedure and healing process:
- Jewelry Options: Daith piercings are usually done with a 16 or 14 gauge ring, with a small enough diameter to fit comfortably in the conch of the ear. While curved barbells can be used, rings are much more common and visible.
- Procedure: This piercing can be tricky to perform and requires an experienced, professional piercer to ensure proper placement and minimize complications.
- Healing Time: As with other ear cartilage piercings, healing time is typically six months or longer. It's important to follow aftercare instructions diligently to ensure a smooth healing process.
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth healing process and to prevent complications. Here are some key tips:
- Clean Regularly: Gently clean the piercing once a day with a saline solution or a piercing aftercare product recommended by your piercer.
- Avoid Irritants: Keep the area free from hair products, lotions, and other potential irritants. Avoid sleeping on the pierced side to minimize irritation.
- Be Mindful: Avoid touching or playing with the jewelry to reduce the risk of infection and irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can a daith piercing help with migraines?:
- While some people claim relief from migraines after getting a daith piercing, there isn't enough scientific evidence to support this. It remains a topic of debate
- How Soon Can I Change My Jewelry?:
- The initial jewelry should be left in for at least 6 months to ensure proper healing. However, downsizing may be possible at around 6 weeks, depending on how well the piercing is healing. Always consult with your piercer before making any changes to your jewelry to avoid complications.
- Can you wear headphones or AirPods with a daith piercing?:
- It's not recommended to wear headphones or AirPods during the healing period as they can harbor bacteria and cause irritation. Using a small curved barbell initially can make it easier to use earbuds once healed
