Contrary to social-media hype, they have not been proven in anyway to help or cure migraines/headaches – they do however look awesome and are a GREAT way to fill up a large part of your ear with only one easy to get piercing.
Daith piercings are anatomical in nature, so not everyone is able to get them done. Please book in for a consult with one of our practitioners, if you are interested in this piercing!
Headphones/ear-buds and stethoscopes also can not be used on that ear for the entire healing period.
Sleeping on the piercing isn’t recommended while healing as it will drastically reduce your success rate, as well as increasing your chance of scarring. Because of this, we will not perform a cartilage piercing on your ear, if you have a piercing healing on the opposite side.
