Benefits of Daith Piercing
Daith piercings are popular for their unique style and potential health benefits. Here’s what you should know before deciding if it’s right for you.
Daith piercings have grown in popularity not just for their striking look, but also for their potential therapeutic benefits. Whether you’re drawn to the style, the placement, or the rumours of migraine relief, there’s a lot to love about this unique inner-ear piercing.
What Is a Daith Piercing?
--------------------------
A daith piercing goes through the small fold of cartilage just above your ear canal. Because of its tucked-away location, it creates a sleek, stylish effect when paired with the right jewellery, especially titanium hoops and clickers.
It’s a bit more technical than a standard lobe piercing, so it’s important to have it done by an experienced piercer (like Jooles!).
Why People Love Daith Piercings
-------------------------------
1. Distinctive Look
A daith piercing is subtle but powerful. It catches the light without overpowering your look, and pairs beautifully with other ear piercings. Whether you’re going minimalist or full constellation, it adds a polished detail to your style.
2. Potential Migraine Relief
Many people choose daith piercings hoping for migraine relief. While there’s no clinical proof, some clients report fewer or less intense headaches after getting one. It’s thought to mimic acupuncture points, but results vary.
3. Great Jewellery Options
Because of its shape, the daith is perfect for curved barbells, clickers, or seamless rings — especially in high-quality titanium. You can go classic, boho or glam depending on your mood and jewellery choice.
What to Know Before Getting One
-------------------------------
- Initial piercing is done with a curved barbell to aid the healing process
- Healing time is around 3–6 months (sometimes longer)
- You’ll need to avoid touching or rotating the jewellery
- Stick to titanium jewellery to avoid irritation
- Sleeping on that side may be uncomfortable for a while
At Piercing by Jooles, we use sterile equipment, single-use needles, and high-grade titanium jewellery to ensure a smooth and safe healing process.
Final Thoughts
--------------
A daith piercing is more than just a fashion statement — it’s a bold and elegant way to express your style. Whether you’re hoping for migraine relief or simply love the look, it’s a beautiful addition to your ear curation.
