What Is a Daith Piercing?
A daith piercing is a small ear piercing placed in the inner fold above the ear canal. This part of the ear has thicker tissue, so piercers must use steady control to move the needle through the curved space.
The shape of the fold also affects how rings rest, since the jewelry follows the natural bend and stays close to the skin. Many clients choose this area for its look and tucked placement inside the ear.
Daith Piercing Benefits
Daith piercing benefits include style, personal meaning, and reported migraine relief.
Here are the benefits of daith ear piercing and why the inner fold is a popular choice:
-
Style: The inner fold creates a subtle, curved look that stands out without being too large.
-
Placement: The fold supports rings well, so the jewelry rests in a natural curve inside the ear.
-
Expression: The spot lets you add a small detail with gold or other daith piercing jewelry that fits the ear's shape. A daith piercing for men often works well because the inner fold gives a simple, curved look that stays close to the ear.
-
Personal meaning: Many clients get a daith piercing to mark a moment or express something important to them.
-
Migraine reports: Some people find daith piercing migraine relief. The idea comes from a theory that the piercing may touch a pressure point linked to the vagus nerve. People share stories of fewer or less intense migraine attacks, and experts say it may be a placebo effect.

Take a look at some of the daith piercings completed by our experienced piercers at Xtremities.

Our Daith Piercing Process at Xtremities
Our daith piercing process starts with an ear check, then marking the spot for placement. Next, we clean the area, open the fold with a needle, and place a curved jewelry piece. Finally, we explain aftercare so you know how to help your ear heal.
These steps give you a clear look at how we complete a daith piercing from start to finish.
1. Consultation and Ear Check
We begin by discussing your daith piercing goals and checking the inner fold of your ear. This helps us confirm the spot is safe and suitable for the jewelry.
2. Placement Marking
We mark the exact point where the daith piercing will go. This follows the shape of your fold, so the jewelry rests in a natural position.
3. Cleaning and Preparation
We clean your ears with approved products. This lowers the chance of infection and prepares the skin.
4. Needle Piercing
We use a sterile single-use needle to open the fold. You may feel a quick pinch and some pressure as it moves through the cartilage.
5. Jewelry Placement and Fit Check
We place a curved jewelry piece through the new daith piercing and check the fit. It should rest without pressing into the fold or causing discomfort.
6. Aftercare Instructions
We explain how to clean your daith piercing each day and what early healing looks like. These steps help your ear settle safely and steadily.
