What it is
The Daith placement
The daith sits in the innermost fold of the ear, the small curl of cartilage just above the canal. Half-hidden, it is the placement people notice last and ask about most. It is worn almost exclusively with a hoop or clicker that follows the fold.
Healing & aftercare
How it heals
Around 6-12 months. The fold is harder to reach, so clean carefully with saline and avoid earbuds and pressure while it heals.
For the full ritual, see our Ear Spa & aftercare guide.
