ABOUT THIS PIERCING

The daith is a cartilage piercing placed through the innermost fold of the ear, just above the ear canal.

Its unique location creates a tucked-in look that makes the jewelry a focal point in the center of the ear and pairs beautifully with other piercings in a curated ear.

Daith anatomy varies significantly from person to person. Your piercer will examine the cartilage fold to make sure there is enough properly shaped tissue to safely support the piercing.

WHAT TO EXPECT

CONSULTATION & ANATOMY CHECK

We’ll assess your anatomy, answer any questions, and make sure this piercing is right for you.

Your piercer will carefully determine the placement within the cartilage fold based on your individual anatomy.

MARKING & PLACEMENT

The piercing is performed using a sterile, single-use needle and professional jewelry.

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and have time to ask any additional questions.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

HEALING & AFTERCARE

Daith piercings require patience and consistent aftercare.

Keep the piercing clean, avoid unnecessary touching or movement, and be mindful of anything that puts pressure on or around the ear.

GOOD TO KNOW

Not everyone has a prominent enough cartilage fold to safely support a daith piercing. Your piercer will assess your anatomy before proceeding.

Anatomy Matters

Cartilage Heals Slowly

Your daith may look or feel healed before the tissue inside has completely finished healing. Full healing can take several months.

Jewelry Changes Take Time

Because of the daith’s location and long healing period, jewelry should not be changed unnecessarily while the piercing is still healing.

Earbuds can introduce pressure, movement, or contamination around a fresh daith. Avoid anything that presses against or irritates the piercing while it heals.

Avoid Earbuds While Healing

FAQs

It’s best to avoid sleeping directly on a fresh daith while it heals. Pressure can cause irritation, swelling, and prolonged healing, so sleeping on the opposite side or using a piercing pillow can help protect it.
No. The cartilage fold needs to be developed enough to safely support the piercing and jewelry. Your piercer will perform an anatomy check before proceeding.
It depends on the shape of your ear and the device, but anything that touches or puts pressure on a healing daith should be avoided. Once fully healed, comfort will depend on your anatomy and jewelry.
