The Daith, an internal piercing with a strong personality
Placed inside the ear, the Daith immediately draws the eye to the center of the earlobe. It adds a very architectural touch to the ear, while remaining relatively compact. Depending on the chosen design, it can be discreet and elegant or, conversely, become a real statement piece in your ear design.
It is a piercing appreciated by those who like details visible up close , which are revealed when you put your hair up or play with the volumes around the ear.

FAQ – Daith Piercing and Titanium Jewelry
What jewelry should I choose for my first Daith piercing?
For a first Daith piercing, professionals recommend a small closed ring or a segment ring made of ASTM F-136 titanium . This type of jewelry minimizes internal friction and adapts well to the unique anatomy of the Daith. Titanium is preferred to reduce the risk of irritation and promote stable healing.
What is the best material for a Daith piercing?
ASTM F-136 titanium is considered the best material for a Daith piercing. It is hypoallergenic, nickel-free, lightweight, and biocompatible, which greatly reduces the risk of irritation. Since the Daith is an internal piercing, a safe and high-quality material is essential to avoid complications.
Does a Daith piercing help with migraines?
To date, no scientific evidence demonstrates that Daith piercing relieves migraines. Some people experience improvement, others do not. It should not be considered a medical treatment, but only a cosmetic procedure. In case of migraines, always consult a healthcare professional.
How long does it take for a Daith piercing to heal?
A daith piercing typically takes between 6 and 12 months to fully heal. The internal cartilage heals slowly and can react to pressure, headphones, and friction. Good hygiene and gentle handling are essential to prevent prolonged irritation.
Can I sleep on a Daith piercing?
It is strongly advised against sleeping on a Daith piercing until the cartilage has stabilized. Constant pressure can cause swelling, pain, and delayed healing. Sleep on your opposite side or use a pillow with an opening to minimize friction.
Can I wear earphones with a Daith piercing?
Right after getting your piercing, it's best to avoid in-ear headphones and tight-fitting earbuds, as they press directly on the piercing area. This can cause irritation and pain. Once the piercing has settled in, choose headphones that don't touch the inside of the ear canal or opt for a model that rests more on the outside.
My Daith piercing is red or swollen, is that normal?
Slight redness or swelling in the first few days is normal. However, if the area becomes very hot, the pain intensifies, or thick fluid appears, this could indicate irritation or infection. If in doubt, consult your piercer or a healthcare professional.
What ring diameter should I choose for a Daith?
The most common diameter for a Daith piercing is between 6 mm and 8 mm , depending on your anatomy. The piercer will recommend the appropriate diameter during the piercing procedure. To change your jewelry, it's best to keep the same size or consult a professional.
How to clean and care for a Daith piercing?
Clean your daith once or twice a day with saline solution , without rubbing or twisting the jewelry. Avoid harsh antiseptics, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and cotton balls that can stick. Wash your hands before any contact and leave the jewelry in place until fully healed.
