The daith is located just above the tragus, and the piercings are very similar. It is a piercing through a rather thick section of cartilage, which does make the piercing itself appear to be more dramatic. But the fact is, there is minimal pain with these piercings, and the aesthetic reward is certainly worth any discomfort.

The healing process can be a bit longer and more complicated than most other piercings. The daith tends to be a magnet for dirt and germs that are around us. And it also requires more attention simply because it is a larger wound than a thin cartilage piercing. It is imperative that you keep it clean and strictly follow your aftercare instructions.

Recommended Starter Jewelry: 16-12 gauge SSS or Titanium CBR or small Curved Barbell

Estimated Healing Time: 2 - 12 months
