I had to write this down: Curved barbel 16 gauge 3/8ths, captive bead ring 16 gauge 7/16ths good peircings for starters. Leave in for 2-3 months he said and clean with salt water soaks. Thank you for the info!
The guy who named it pronounces it 'doth'. "Pronounced “doth” (rhyming with “moth”), this cartilage piercing was introduced and popularized by Erik Dakota in the early 90s. It was first showcased in Body Play magazine, in the same issue that also showcased both the rook and industrial piercing. Erik says he named the piercing after the Hebrew word for “knowledge.”
Will in in English he second vow of silence meaning you stressed the first vial which is a which leaves the second vowel silent for instance faith, daith, learn you the pounce the a second vowel usually a silence I could do this all day "speak" the A just looks cute. "Rain" and so on.
Just got my second Daith Piercing today (on my other ear), my first one I had a couple of months ago, what I did was cut paper towels into small squares then wrapped it over a q-tip and then it’s easier to get in there to clean! But obviously being gentle with it!
Did you only get one side done? And did they pierce it at the right spot? Cuz when I got mine done the first time it didn't help my migraines much so I removed it. Then I got it pierce the second time (for fun cuz my friend was also getting it) the girl pierce it at a slightly different spot and now I only get migraines an estimation of once every month compared to 2-3 times per week. Though it differs for everyone. P.s. I pierced both sides
I've had my daith and tragus for 2.5 years, always clean them with a q-tip after every shower. It's the way to do it for the rest of your life, maybe too harsh while it's healing.
I had chronic migraines at least once a week, sometimes twice. They lasted up to three days. I've had my daith piercing for 3 months now, and I haven't suffered from a single one! I had the aurora lights and nausea but no pain twice, and I'll take it. Like two slight headaches, one from stress and one from no sleep for days. That's going to give you a headache no matter who you are! It's still draining a bit and has a keloid, but I know that with proper care, that will go away. I love it! When this heals, I'm having the other side done for sure.
It helped my migraines I had chronic migraines daily for over 3 years.. I got my daith piercing 3 months ago and it did help for me so if it can help anybody else it's a good option
Do you get a headache after you get it pierced some videos that I have watched said they just felt pressure and some said it gave them a headache. I’m getting mine pieced on Tuesday and I’m just a bit nervous. X
I also suffer from migraines, and would get them everyday, and some times 2-3 times a day. Medication barely helped, and i gave up on trying to cure the migraines with medication since it was doing nothing. I figured i'd try this piercing anyway. Its been two months and honest to god, i have not had a migrane since. I do get a minor headache every once in a while, but its nothing compared to before. Now i can just take a tylenol and be good.
I got mine done a couple of hours ago, it didn’t hurt when it was being done but it was a bit uncomfortable when he was trying to put the ball in the ring but that’s to be expected when a new piercing is being handled :)
I had headaches all my life. One rainy day I got off of work with a horrible throbbing headache and got both ears done. Now my headaches have reduced . Im glad I did it!
Just found this and so glad I did, now I’m figuring out why it’s not healing correctly. I’m now done with the q-tips and cotton balls. I’m surprised my piercer told me to use those and to slowly rotate it ... well it all starts now all new cleaning routine 👍🏼🤗🤗
I suffered from migraines. My daith didn't completely get rid of them, but it definitely lessened them a LOT. So instead of the literal debilitating pain, I had to take off work and school for, it's now just a dull ache that goes away w/ pain medications. Would definitely recommend it.
Just got one today! Specifically hoping it will help relieve some recent uptick in the intensity of my migraines. This aftercare video is SO helpful, my daith is definitely more tucked into my ear than I see in other pictures just because of how my ear is shaped so this helps so much! Thank you!
Damn.. I've been using a q-tip to clean mine. Hope I didn't do any damage. Though it seems to be healing ok it does itch a bit (I don't touch it bare handed) it does swell and have a bit of discharge that gets crusted. I love it though and it does help with my migraines.
I used to get migraines at least twice a week. I got both piercings on May 27th and have not had even one migraine since then. I have had a couple headaches, but nothing like it was. I was very skeptical at first and I just thought, like you said, if it doesn't work then at least I have a couple of really cool piercings. I have talked to people that it did not work for too. It just depends on the person I guess. I would love this piercing whether it worked or not. I would never take it out because there is no way I would want to go through the re-piercing of it lol
When she pierced the first one (left side) I didn't even know she had done it, I literally felt nothing, so I was like okay I can handle this. Then she said 1-2-3 for the right side and holy crap, I was not expecting that pain. I will be honest, that one was the single most painful piercing I have had, and I have had quite a few. That one is also the one that has taken the longest to heal and I got a bump on it that I am still trying to get to go away. It's almost there. I hope it doesn't stop you from getting it though. They really are my favorite piercings.
I think if I would have just gotten one done at a time it would have been better. I think my adrenaline was pumping full speed when I had the first one done and that's why I didn't feel it, but then having the second one done right after, I think was a bad Idea, the adrenaline was gone and I got too relaxed lol. It may not be the same with everyone but if I had to do it again I would definitely do one at a time.
I had mine done yesterday strictly because I think they are so pretty! I had no idea they help with headaches! Stumbled on this video this morning. Had to comment because I literally wake up with a headache every single morning! I didn't today! Wow bonus! Huge bonus! The piercing itself was my second most painful piercing. I have my helix, nose, belly button, lobes and where the cartilage starts at the bottom of the ear. Belly button was the worst one for me. Today I'm feeling next to no pain where I got my daith piercing. My helix was done 3 months ago and Is still tender. So glad I got this one done !
LaMonica Tearra it was about a 6 on the pain scale. It was a lot of pressure. But I've had next to no pain or discomfort since I had the piercing. My helix still hurts 3 months later
I got my Daith done yesterday and I’m in LOVE. I have been using wound wash spray and spraying it, but I think I’m gonna switch to that compress trick.
Jay3ll388 it’s pretty much healed now, I clean it with the wound wash (or a mild first aid antiseptic) in the morning, and when I take showers I’ll let water run in my ear for a minute or two. I haven’t changed it yet, and I probably won’t until it’s been a full year because my cartilage takes longer to heal than what they say is the recommended time. All in all, it’s going great!
@@jacorajustice3590 thank you sooo much for this! I got mine done on the 4th and LOVE it. I sprung for a cute rose gold BVLA piece that I probably won't change for a hottest minute. My conch took about 3-6 before it was good and I'm assuming this will be the same. When I eat healthy and workout consistently drinking water etc...I have noticed that my piercings heal faster. When I am the opposite they have a tendency to take longer etc...so I just started working out again so we shall see. Also just using the saline solution the shop gave me (from free) but want to get the salt water solution a try
Got one three years ago and went from migraines like five times a week to not having one for 4 months after, maybe had like three a year since. Also haven't had a blinding migraine since the day I went in for the piercing (at that point I was on day 4 of a cluster migraine). Soo glad I did it.
I was getting a migraine almost every day of the week until I got my daith pierced 2 years ago. I went in with a migraine starting, and left with nothing. The piercing unfortunately was placed too deep in my ear, so it made it impossible for the piercing to fully heal. DESPITE that, it helped with the migraines, until I had the earring taken out 2 months ago. The NEXT DAY I had to call out of work because I had a migraine so bad I couldn’t even sit up in bed. I have prescribed meds, black out curtains, a heat compress, essential oils, pressure point techniques I learned from my doctor.. nothing helped... I had to wait for my previous piercing to heal before I could get my daith redone. Now that I have it back in, I feel like myself again. Migraine free, and the placement is perfect! I highly recommend getting this if you suffer from migraines.
The sideways ear dunk method was the best I've heard for the daith! I've always enjoyed my piercing soaks (I set up camp in front of Netflix or binge on RU-vid while my piercings marinate--any excuse to relax, right? ;] ) and one of the things that bummed me out about the daith was the absence of that much-anticipated soak ritual. You're the only one who has recommended this method. Thank you!!
I wassss 13 when I had my first migraine. It wasn't until I was 15 when I started getting them every single day. Up until I was 27 years old, I am now 29. 12 years of migraines on a daily basis. I got my daith piercings, both ears, when I was 27 and I want to say I've been migraine free, but I'm not. I still get them a maximum of 3 times in a week. Sometimes I'll go a week without one. So I can for certain say it has helped. Also, I didn't do anything mentioned in this video cleaning wise. All I did was in the morning, clean out the "crusties" from top and bottom of the piercing, will likely cause bleeding as it did with me, but only for a minute or two. Jumped in the shower and just tilted my head to the sides soaking the inside of my ears for about 30 seconds per side. When they stopped hurting I started to rotate them. Which sometimes caused a little bleeding but I wanted to make sure the skin didn't grow around them. They fully healed within 3-4 months as opposed to the 6+ months they tell you.
Had my daith pierced for a year now, going to my piercer to get the jewellery changed tomorrow, not gonna lie it hurt like a bitch, but it actually has helped with my hormonal migraine! It's worth a try and it looks super pretty!
I use a spray bottle with the saline/salt water in it and let it soak like that. To clean up the blood when I first got it I did use the saline on a cutip and clean it.. it’s fine in my opinion
Aliyah Brown I think it depends on the q-tip. Some super-cheap ones leave cotton fibers behind like a mf, but I've noticed that the actual q-tip brand, if completely soaked, doesn't.
Aliyah Brown mine bled when I first got it and I used a cotton swab to clean it later and it's pretty bloody. Is that normal for it to bleed after you first get it?
I like this method. I got mine done today and at first I placed the salt water solution in a sterile eye dropper, but then tried out different techniques and decided the spray bottle was the best option for me.
Thanks, you answered all of my questions, honestly, I had no idea it takes so long to heal, I think I better get on it before the cold weather hits here in Texas. Appreciate you!
My piercer never told me any of this! I’ve used q tips hydrogen peroxide and had a situation where the ball feel out of my starter piercing and I had to change it because it was causing issues. Basically I’m doomed. 😩
I was in a car accident Oct 2021 and hit my head bad...since then I get migraines 4-7 times a week and they were hardcore dilbiltating, I mean crying in pain, sick to my stomach, dark cold room all day, even with chiropractic care, migraine prevention meds and migraine care meds. Started getting nerve blockers injections in my head 4 in my forehead alone and that is super painful! The Dr. at the migraine clinic suggested a daith pireceing on both sides and see if it works...got it about a week ago and omgoodness! Since the day after I got it done no migraine! Canceled my nerve injections for tomorrow and going to see how it goes for another week but omgoodness I haven't felt such relief in ages! Even if it don't work for you still looks badass lol
Thank you for the info. I have gotten my chronic migraines back, yippee, and am researching daith piercing. I have my ears pierced, and got them done at the mall when I was 9, so a few, uh, decades ago, and your video is very informative and helpful. Thank you very much!
My daith hurt so so bad. It's up there with one of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life. I've had mine for for about a week now and the first few days it hurt so so bad but about 6 days in now it doesnt feel that bad really. Its still sore obviously but better.
I got this a month ago. The pressure hurt more than anything. I got bad headaches like three is the days after I guess from healing. But I think jus bc of how thick that skin is. But it is easy to clean and feels better once healed. Love it. Want to get the other side. I love that it’s in the inside of my ear so that I didnt have to pull on it while brushing my hair or in the shower or even sleeping. It healed good bc nothing really bothers it.
I had mine done by professional from migraine clinic. She targeted the VAGUS nerve that this piercing has to stimulate. If you got yours in just a piercing studio - they obviously dont do that, so you might have a piercing that is just millimeter off and wont work at all. Also you should do it in both ears as doing one will only sort half of your head.
@@jessrose5099 yes in London but having that for 3yrs l can say at first l thought it was helping. Now lm not sure. But migraines are terrible and any little thing that might help should be tried !:)
I’ve had migraines most of my life, chronic the last few years. I just got the faith piercing, finally, and it seems to have helped me. I know we’re all different. My last real hope was a top Neurologist at Mayo Clinic and he said he couldn’t do more for me than I had already tried. So fa4 so good for me. It was worth a try for sure.
Thanks man, your video was very informative, I recently got one done and it’s still hurting a lot almost a week later. I have a few piercing so I basically know how to mange and care for them during the healing process but where this one is located was a bit tricky.
Know I wasn't supposed to use q-tips but I just needed to remove some blood crusties from around it. Also my daith never hurt. I didnt feel it when it was peirced and I still really dont feel it now.
Did you only get one side done? And did they pierce it at the right spot? Cuz when I got mine done the first time it didn't help my migraines much so I removed it. Then I got it pierce the second time (for fun cuz my friend was also getting it) the girl pierce it at a slightly different spot and now I only get migraines an estimation of once every month compared to 2-3 times per week. Though it differs for everyone. P.s. I pierced both sides
That really helps for migraines and I know alot of people that got this done for migraines and getting your Tragus pierced work for migraines also and I had migraines very bad I was having a migraine every day and I went to the tattoo shop in my town and got my Tragus pierced and it did stop mys migraines I had one that day and after I got mys pierced my migraines done gone away and have not had anymore migraines at all and getting my Tragus pierced did not hurt at all
I got mine 5 days ago. I did not suffer from migraines and never had a headache. I just got it because I love how it looks. Now I've started feeling headache every day and sometimes I even feel sick. I got it on my left side and it feels like something is going from my left side to my right side of my head, making me feel really bad and giving me headache. I will wait for another couple of weeks and see if it goes away. If not, I'll definitely have it taken out 😢
@@cristinaantonac1380 yeah don’t give up! Mine was awful and like i said around that year and a half mark i just woke up one day and it was fine and it’s been completely fine since 😊
Okay I had to come back to this comment to say this. It has finally healed! 🙌🏻 Like you said, all at once. It got swelled up for a while, then one day when I was cleaning it it just popped and a lot of gross stuf came out and now it's perfect! I'm so happy haha
Got my daith piercing 2 days ago. The piercer said to clean it with Unicura soap and q tips.. cleaning it hurts like hell. I dont understand why they gave this advice
I did the daith without thinking about the migraines. I had them intense but I was thinking 100% about the aesthetics, I never believed in the piercing doing something for it, I didn't even had that in mind/remembered that rumor when I was thinking about doing it or even after. Only after like a week since I did it and no migraines I thought there was something different and then I remembered about this saying. I am still not sure if it was the piercing, I do believe it could be just a coincidence, but it would be pretty cool if it's true.
I got mine 24hrs ago & I’m headache free for the first time in a long time!! I got it w/ the mindset it would work, but if not then I have a pretty kick ass piercing & I have had multiple piercings in my day, so in the end if that’s all I got out of it then that’s ok too.
I want to comment on aboat 1 min 30 sec about the fact about a migraine. I had a stroke about 2 years ago affected my right side and i have nerve damage. You have a nerve where the Daith goes and i got a daith today because of the pain that the nerve cost me and like it helps actually freaking alot so it can help for migraines. 1:39
I guess pronunciation is subjective to the person and where they call home as long as people understand what your talking about tbh, also if anyone is having issues with soaking i found using like a takeaway plastic tub works as its wide and dosnt restrict your ear from submerging and you also have room to use your finger to agitate the water (not poking your piercing)to creat a flow to easily help larger pieces of the crust or blood wash off independently
Wish I would have seen this 2 weeks ago!! ): I used Q-tips and alcohol I’m 2weeks in and now Im starting to do the salt water soak thank you hopefully it heals soon!
Had my daith pierced for 3 days now. Havnt touched it or moved it. Just sprayed with saline solution then dabbed dry. Fingers crossed i dont have any dramas. Im kinda expecting it though. And i dont sleep on it either.
I got mine and after 3 months there was something like a nerve stimulation. Now i can move my right ear when i move my jaw in a specific way. Thats weird af.
I have mine going on 6 months on the 12th and it still acts up I try the sea salt soaks and everything I can think of and it still hurts so much My Tragus I’ve had for a year and it acts up every now and then But I’m going to wait at least a year or so before I change out my earring I have a captive bead ring that I was pierced with Cartilage piercings take longer then what they say 2-3 months nope more like a year or so
Matthew Vecera make sure your earrings are the proper metals. My cartilage for 3 months were keloiding, sore, oozing and I went to a piercer she changed the ring to titanium and within 1 week it was all cleared up and bump free. Just be sure of what they’re putting in your body.
apparently there is little bit les than 50% chance to reduce migraines. even if it is placebo effect is better than taking pills every few days. in the worst case scenario you take out piece of metal🙂 just my opinion. very good info about cleaning in the video
Went to my usual tattoo shop for a daith piercing 2 days ago and the piercer ended up pushing the needle on my forward helix rather than on my daith which made me endure another pain just to have my daith done.. despite all the images/sample pics of daith i showed him he still got the part wrong.. now trying to heal both my daith n the puntured forward helix is such an agony..😓 hopefully sea salt soak would greatly help on the healing process.. thanks for this!😁
Actually now there is scientific evidence for it. Also I had an active migraine when I went in and the moment they stuck the needle in my migraine went away instantly. Also I didnt know I wasnt supposed to move it. Good info thanks!!!!
Do I need to clean the scab away from it? I just got mine done 3 days ago with a horseshoe and there’s a sizeable amount of blood that’s scabbed up and trapped pinned between the bar and my ear. I tried to gently clean it with a saline soaked Q tip but most of it won’t budge. I’m scared to move the jewelry to get at it. Does the scab need to be cleaned away? Should I just leave it alone? I’m doing morning and evening saline soaks for 8 minutes each.
I have had my daith piercing for 6 months. I got it and a tragus piercing. My tragus healed in 2 months. Now this daith piercing is giving me the blues. I have bumps on both ends. I clean with antibacterial soap and apply salt water soaks. I don't know what to do at this point. I was told to pop the bumps. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in Advance.
Well I have had mine done for 5 months always used qtips and it’s not healing right the swelling won’t go down Ik about sea salt soaks but just use antibacterial soap
