From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A daith piercing is a perforation of the inner ear cartilage for the purpose of inserting and wearing a piece of jewelry. The daith is placed in the horizontally-oriented piece of cartilage directly above the ear canal.

The piercing is often performed with a curved needle to avoid damaging the other parts of the ear. A small-gauge jewelry is usually inserted, as this part of the ear is difficult to stretch.

The jewelry most commonly worn in a daith piercing is a captive bead ring, though several other types of body jewelry are suitable.
