What's a Daith Piercing and How Is It Done?
A daith piercing is nestled within the innermost fold of your ear cartilage, right above the ear canal. This spot holds a pressure point that offers benefits beyond its aesthetic allure. Skilled piercers use a hollow needle (never a piercing gun) ensuring precise placement. While the piercing itself is quick, the aftercare conversation is just as crucial.
Healing takes its sweet time—expect a 6-12 month journey. During this period, gently clean your piercing twice daily with a sterile saline solution and resist the urge to touch or rotate your jewellery. Opt for premium materials like sterling silver, gold vermeil, or solid gold (9k or 14k) to minimise irritation and promote healthier healing. Daith piercings typically require jewellery in the 16-18 gauge range with inner diameters from 6-12mm, varying based on ear anatomy.
Curious About Daith Piercing Benefits?
Beyond its unique aesthetic, the daith piercing may offer therapeutic perks. While research continues, some folks find relief from migraines and anxiety. The piercing's position links to a headache-related pressure point, influencing factors like blood flow and nervous system responses. Similarly, the constant gentle stimulation might soothe the nervous system, potentially easing stress.
However, individual experiences can differ. Consulting both a healthcare provider and an experienced piercer is advised to achieve the best outcomes.

Essential Aftercare Tips and Daith Piercing Healing Time
Getting a daith piercing demands dedication to aftercare, minimising discomfort and preventing complications while showcasing your TinyBox jewellery.
Do Daith Piercings Take a Long Time to Heal?
Daith piercings typically heal over 6-9 months due to thick cartilage and limited blood flow. Healing varies based on your body, aftercare, and jewellery quality. Premium materials like TinyBox’s sterling silver, gold vermeil, and solid gold enhance comfort during healing. Remember, healing happens in stages. Surface healing may appear quick, but internal healing continues for months. Avoid unnecessary jewellery changes during this time.
Our Top Recommendations for Your Daily Care Routine
Consistent, gentle care is key. Cleanse twice daily with a sterile saline solution, using clean hands and a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and ointments. Opt for TinyBox’s handcrafted pieces made from premium materials. Avoid sleeping on the pierced side and keep hair products and cosmetics away from the area.
