A daith piercing is placed in the innermost cartilage fold of the ear above the ear canal. Healing usually takes 10–12 months.
Daith piercings are a distinctive cartilage piercing choice and are popular for curated ear designs because of their unique inner-ear placement and ability to be styled with rings and clicker jewelry.
At Nina Wynn: Fine, Permanent & Piercing Jewelry in Denver, our professional piercers specialize in sterile needle piercing and luxury jewelry selected for comfort, healing, and long-term wear.
A daith piercing goes through the small fold of cartilage just above the ear canal. Because of its inner-ear placement, daith piercings are most often styled with rings, clickers, or other curved jewelry designed to fit the anatomy comfortably.
This piercing is a popular option for clients who want something distinctive yet elegant as part of a curated ear design.
The piercer cleans the ear, marks the placement, and uses a sterile hollow needle to create the piercing before inserting a ring or curved jewelry suitable for healing.
Professional piercers do not use piercing guns for daith piercings because cartilage requires a more precise and sterile technique.
Daith Piercing Pain Level
Daith piercings are typically considered moderate in pain due to the thicker cartilage and inner placement of the piercing.

The perfect gift
This was my 8yo daughter’s first piercing and she was quite scared, but Nina and Matt were kind and understanding throughout. We got her a pair of thunder earrings and a beautiful bracelet.
We had to leave the studio after her first ear was pierced because she was having a meltdown, so we grabbed lunch at the local pub and came back to get her other ear pierced, which they kindly accommodated.
Their piercing studio is clean and pristine, not sterile, but rather vibrant and welcoming. They’re friendly and familiar and very professional. The jewelry selection was exceptional, the location perfect, the shop beautiful and homey. As soon as you walk through the door you’re treated like friends and family— something rare. It was a highly-personalized and luxurious experience.
Emma loves her thunder earrings and her bracelet, but most importantly learned that she can do hard things with family and friends along the way, and she is so proud of herself for having done so! Thanks Nina and Matt ❤️

Perfect size and so comfy!
Love my tiny diamond studs! Great for keeping in all the time. My only complaint is that it took over a month and multiple emails for them to arrive. With the wait though.
