What is a Daith Piercing?

A daith piercing is an intricate ear jewelry placement that requires precise knowledge of the anatomy. Located in the innermost fold of cartilage, just above the opening of the ear canal, it can be challenging for everyone. Our expert piercers assess your anatomy before any procedure to ensure success.

Daith Piercing in Portland — Why Choose Us?

We are proud to offer body piercing services from

Oregon's Original Studio since 1974

, situated in Gresham, just a short drive from downtown Portland. We provide expert anatomical assessment before every daith piercing and only use implant-grade titanium or solid 14k/18k gold for your initial piercings.

Additionally, we do not use piercing guns, ensuring the precise placement of our curved needle technique for perfect daith placements.

Pain Level During a Daith Piercing

The pain level during a daith piercing is typically 5-6 out of 10. The procedure involves slight pressure rather than sharp pain and usually takes about 30 seconds to complete, making it an efficient process for our clients.

Healing Time for a Daith Piercing

The healing time for a daith piercing is approximately 6-12 months. During this period, avoid sleeping on the ear, keep hair products away, and consider downsizing after the first 3-4 months with assistance from our piercer.

Jewelry Options for a Daith Piercing

For your initial daith piercing at Multnomah Body Piercing, we recommend using a curved barbell or small captive ring in implant-grade titanium. After healing, ornate hoops and heart-shaped clickers are suitable jewelry options to consider.

The standard size for jewelry is 16g. It's important not to start with decorative rings as they are initially used for the purpose of proper healing.

Does a Daith Piercing Help With Migraines?

While some people report migraine relief from having a daith piercing, it is not medically proven and should not be considered a medical treatment. The theory behind this is related to pressure points on the vagus nerve, but we focus on aesthetics rather than making medical claims.

Afterscare for a Daith Piercing

LITHA (Local Irritation Healer) solution is used twice daily as part of your aftercare routine. The most challenging aspect might be avoiding earbuds and headphones when sleeping, but with the right precautionary measures, this shouldn’t pose any significant issues.
