001f Daith Piercing

The daith got a moment of mainstream attention a few years back when someone claimed it helped with migraines. The science is shaky, but the piercing itself is genuinely interesting regardless, tucked into the fold of cartilage just above the ear canal in a spot that most people don't even register exists until it's adorned.

Positioned in the crus of cartilage between the forward helix and the conch, the daith sits deep and close to the ear canal, which gives it that intimate, almost hidden quality that dark aesthetic and alternative jewellery lovers tend to appreciate. It can actually be one of the more manageable cartilage piercings to heal relative to its location, and it wears rings especially well.

Healing time varies but typically sits in the range of six months to a year or more. Aftercare instructions provided at time of piercing.
