The WORST Part of Having a DAITH Piercing | One Month Update

[@lskaste]

I have them in both ears!! Totaly changed my life with migraine... it is hard to keep earbuds in however that is the only drawback!!

[@mandyloretta4478]

Once it’s healed you can wear headphone I have one on my right ear and now that it’s healed it fine and comfortable. Didn’t have a lot of pain through out the healing process it did get infected from time to time. But mostly because I had a tendency to play with it. At once point I had a bump form which tends to happen as it heals. Not an infection but I can’t remember what it was called. It did go away with a few remedies I found online and after I year I finally decided to change the ring that was in it. I love it. It does seriously help with headaches and migraines

[@haileyandaspoon]

It really does! I am able to wear headphones comfortably now!

[@lexially6882]

Mine helped my migraines so so so so so much only recently I have had more migraines than EVER so I might get my other side done.. I can wear earbuds perfectly fine so I might get the other one pierced sood

[@asham76]

Keloid bumps I think.... I'm just trying the "paste" remedy....

[@441MsVanillaRose]

It's not your "inner ear". It's the inner fold of the outer part of your ear! So glad that it has been helping your health, that is the main thing. x

[@haileyandaspoon]

Thank you for clearing that up!

[@bereal4lforlife29]

I agree with u. I’m a month in of my daith piercing and I went from 14 migraines and 12 headaches to 2 migraines and 4 headaches but they are both on the side that is not pierced 😩so I’m gonna get the other side done in another month! This has solved 20 + years of chronic migraines

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am so glad it has helped you!

[@emma-rosewalker9560]

had my daith for 6 days now and whew i was not expecting this. the actually piercing itself was i would say somewhat painful but mostly shocking because of how much pressure there was. i don’t suffer from migraines but my head was definitely hurting after the piercing for about half an hour lol. now it still is hurting and very sore when cleaning. hopefully the soreness stops soon, wasn’t expecting it to last this long. definitely a huge commitment p.s. i wore headphones after getting it done comfortably but really be careful

[@haileyandaspoon]

It will wear off!

[@saleenakhoshnevis5639]

Did anyone else get a headache the day of the piercing? I just got my daith today and I've had a constant throbbing headache all on that side. It's lessened down but I want to know if its normal

[@haileyandaspoon]

Yes, I had a headache the day of and after!

[@risanaomi4958]

Sounds like what ever energetic chain the piercing opened up has opened up more pathways in the head. In this case it seems that the head is beginning to heal itself some more, releasing toxins from tension points in the head.

[@annabellegrace7093]

I got mine two days ago and I had so much pressure around the back of my eyes and it was unreal. It still hurts now and is kinda sticking out of my ear and idk if that’s normal or meant to happen but the ring is quite big. I’ve tried taping it back but as soon as it comes off it goes back to sticking out

[@briannahanover9299]

I was too depressed to even notice a headache when I got my daith lmfao but that did happen with my conch (the piercing itself wasn’t painful but I got that headache)

[@EggGorlComics]

Annabelle Grace how is it now? I’m a piercer and am always looking for feedback on the after-affects of this particular piercing. People always want to know if it’s helped others, or what odd side effects might happen!

[@MrsHadIsKing]

I had my left daith done for about a year, pretty much eliminated my chronic allergy headaches. Occasionally I would get a slight one, on the opposite side of my head. My daith helped so much that I got the other side done. They do hurt longer, and are one of the longest piercings to fully heal, but it was well worth it!! Anytime I feel stressed I tug on mine & it helps to calm me down, considerably! Love mine.

[@haileyandaspoon]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mrscouts07]

Yeah, I can't wear earbuds comfortably anymore which is really annoying and this sounds stupid, but it's one of the reasons why I may not get the other side done... are you thinking of doing the other side at some point?

[@randomvidscool]

RealHousewifeRachel sometimes it depends on the jewelry you're wearing? I have a simple ring in mine and I can wear earbuds fine

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am not sure if I will do the other side. I can wear certain ear buds ok!

[@Princess-qm5px]

i cant wear earbuds either :( its healed but it still hurts when i try to wear earbuds. its depressing.

[@drea8728]

I got one side done 2 days ago. Really hoping it helps prevent migraines. No pain really and have been able to sleep on that side without issues. I have a half circular barbell in there. I can only wear my apple earbuds upside down, otherwise, they won't fit. Definitely going to buy over the ear headphones.

[@MultiViewer25]

Andrea Ruys i never even thought of that, thank you bc you just saved me from buying ugly ass over the ear headphones

[@tessajeon9160]

I love my daith piercing. It was a 2/10 in pain. It didn’t bleed much. Healing wonderfully. Did nothing for my headaches. I still love it

[@LHendley12]

I got my daith piercing a week ago. I haven't had too much trouble with mine except for me being stupid in putting a earbud in that ear and watching a horror game and ended up injuring my piercing. The next two days after my entire ear got swollen and I went to my piercer about it cause I was really worried about it. He told be that the piercing itself it looking great no infection and that the swelling is normal because the daith piercing affects the entire ear. He recommended neilmed piercing aftercare fine mist to use and I bought two bottles that they had and I've been using it for three days and when I woke up this morning my ear is no longer swollen and is back to normal. So I agree if you get a daith piercing don't wear earbuds until your pricing is fully healed, I sure learned my lesson.

[@lovesjsharkie]

I'd definitely say that my daith has improved my earbud experience. I've had mine for a few years now and I prefer the inner-ear earbuds that have the silicone bits that go into your ear and block out noise and I can either wear them over or under the ring. (Think flipping it forward and putting the earbud in behind it or just popping it in in front of the piercing.) So if you like the ones like the classic apple earbuds and are having issues keeping them in, try putting them behind the ring. It actually works better for me that way than before I got the piercing. Healing experiences are going to be unique for everyone, but I've had people approach me to ask about mine before just for the earbud question because they had wanted one but were worried about not being able to listen to music anymore. Hopefully it helps anyone looking into getting one to have the word of someone who's had a healed one for quite a while with no side-effects.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Great tip!

[@kittyrocks24]

Had my first daith done Saturday last week noticed a difference already migraine wise long may it continue

[@gwennoelyn815]

I got my daith yesterday. My migraine completely disappeared immediately when I got it and hasn't come back YET. I've had chronic migraines for about a year and half so this is such a relief. My daith does hurt a lot but I just got it yesterday so that's expected. I'm just wondering how long does it take to heal and stop hurting?

[@haileyandaspoon]

Everyone is different. My mom's stopped hurting after a week and was healed after a month. Mine hurt on and off for weeks and was finally healed around 5ish months.

[@catlady678]

I got both mine done 2 weeks ago as well. Only one migraine but that was induced by a prescription withdrawal. I have almost no pain from either one, and no gross stuff coming out. I'm so impressed and have basically been headache free! I hope you heal quickly!

[@vinolapillai5063]

Can men have that part pierced too is it just weird?

[@haileyandaspoon]

Of course they can

[@briannahanover9299]

Vinola Pillai why not?! I hope you did it ^_^

[@Noggle88]

I have both sides done! My left was painful and the right side barley even felt a thing and the healing is going great. I have had the left side for almost 3 months and the right side almost a week. It’s crazy how different they both are. And they are definitely helping with me headaches.

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am glad they are helping

[@Lunatoink]

I got mine done today. I felt so tired afterwards lol. It didn't hurt when I got it done. Let's see how it goes for the healing process

[@haileyandaspoon]

Good Luck!

[@cb4252]

So? Update?

[@CaptainJaxx]

I got mine done two days ago while i was having a pretty bad migraine and had basically had been suffering from one for a week on and off. I've been a chronic migraine sufferer since i was 10 years old (i'm now 25) and honestly, i already feel an improvement. As soon as i got it the same thing happened to me, my migraine went away and i had a small headache instead. Pain for me wasn't bad at all and i don't even remember the pop to be honest. But I've also got a really high pain tolerance because of migraines and other painful things lol. I also did it as a spur of the moment thing and didn't have any time to look up videos or read many threads about it. I think it was probably the best thing to do. Lol. It's not currently very scabby/crusty and theres no swelling or redness that i can tell so that's a plus. But it's also early days. Haha

[@haileyandaspoon]

How has the healing gone? Is it helping?

[@maries8612]

Hello! I got my daith pierced a month ago for a daily consistent headache that I've had for a year and a half. It hasn't relieved my headaches, but they might caused by my recently diagnosed Lyme disease (we're still trying to figure it out). I have found some earbuds that are very comfortable to wear. The brand Skullcandy has a lot of earbuds with suction-cup-like ends that are very small, and do not come into contact with my piercing at all. I don't know if you have tried these, but I highly recommend them. Hope this helps and happy to hear about your headache relief!

[@haileyandaspoon]

Thanks so much for the earbud tips!

[@cassiesmith9799]

I got mine done today and I love it I would totally recommend it 😁💙

[@ronayang7204]

How was your healing?

[@tdk9476]

I had my daith pierced 2 days ago and I’ve been able to sleep on and wear my earbuds just fine, I guess it depends on your ears anatomy

[@rebeccafournier8079]

Ive had mine for 7 months now and it has helped my migraines so much since I used to have them every single day and no medication was working.. Now I might get migraines 3 times a month but nothing that ibuprofen can't treat.. So its a miracle for me! But also I had a lot of trouble with mine too because I had a big keloid but it left with tea tree oil so its all good. I can wear earphones because I have small earphones and it doesnt bother my piercing anymore! Hope my opinion can help somebody

[@mamab4291]

Rebecca Fournier wish I would’ve known about the tea tree oil for keloid scars when I had my Tragus pierced. I took it out about 2 years ago because the scar

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am glad it has helped your pain!

[@jadealexandrea9870]

The bump was probably a keloid, very common with this piercing but they usually go away with no further issues.

[@madi7389]

I get severe migraines... my vision goes weird and its hard to see and then my hand would go numb and then super bad migraine where i can barely walk or talk. Getting them is the worst thing ever and im only 13 and my parents wont let me get the daith. Sometimes my migraines hurst so bad i throw up and I usually get them from not enough water, sleep, or good appetite. I do believe my migraines are hormonal but lmk

[@kermit1850]

Show your parents the evidence that a daith piercing will be medically helpful and maybe they will say yes

[@kimberleygliddon]

Get an MRI and neurologist opinion as to why your migraines are so severe

[@haileyandaspoon]

I would research the daith with your family and show them what you find. I hope the pain gets better soon.

[@Anna-tc1iu]

i have the exact same migraines. they’re called ocular migraines and there’s a video that represents it perfectly. if you show them that video it may change their mind. i’m the same age with the same issue and i showed my mom and i’m now getting the piercing on tuesday.

[@jasminedrew4948]

I use to go through the same thing yo 😫 it’s terrible

[@jens8487]

Your hair looks cute like this! Thanks for doing this video!

[@haileyandaspoon]

Thank you!

[@jimjohnson8837]

Hey, I've had my daith piecing about a year. It took about 6 weeks for the crusties to clear. It's help my chronic migraines some, but I'm thinking of getting my other ear a daith also.

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am glad it is helping!

[@tedmacfarlane9977]

Can't wait to change mine to a ring, it's hard to get all that crap off with the bar bell

[@haileyandaspoon]

I bet!

[@asham76]

I found the pressure/pain to be about a 7 to 8 so very glad my piercer told me to take a deep breath in and did it whilst I exhaled ..... Can definitely recommend warm compresses if you have a swollen or throbbing ear. Definitely not a quick healer...

[@gillianwills9049]

I had my tragus pierced 18 years ago and haven't worn earphones since. I wear headphones...

[@haileyandaspoon]

Good idea !

[@jadealexandrea9870]

This was simultaneously my favorite AND the worst piercing I ever got... and I’ve had a lot of piercings (5 in my ears plus daith, nose, eyebrow, belly button, tongue). It was the only piercing that I actually heard and felt an audible “pop” when they put the needle thru. It was super cute and I got the most compliments on it out of my piercings. The issues with sleeping and headphones, they go away after a few months. U figure out work arounds over time, like pushing the ring forward while using headphones. Sleeping on that side just takes time, wait to heal before u do and then you’ll get used to it. I can’t speak to migraines, I got mine done 13 yrs ago (edit: it was 15 yrs ago 😳 I got it done at age 19. God I feel old🤦‍♀️) before it was a thing to get it done to help migraines (nobody even knew what this piercing was called at the time, the popular ear piercing everyone was getting back “in my day” lol was the tragus, and I didn’t want what everyone else had). I got it cuz I wanted a fun new piercing and I asked the girl doing it what was a piercing she’s never done yet that she likes and would want to try, and she showed me the daith and I said “sure”! (I miss My freewheeling youthful days!) Anyway, the 2nd worst part about the daith piercing (after the pop of the needle) is the fact that it’s VERY DIFFICULT to change out the ring, which can complicate things if u r required to take it out semi frequently for any reason. I have epilepsy and my seizures r intractable (meds don’t get rid of them), so I have to have annual MRIs to check for brain damage. The first 2 MRIs I was lucky that a nurse helped me get it out and a friend helped me put the ring back in after. The third MRI, a male nurse took the ring out with very little finesse, like a damn bull in a china shop, and the ring went flying under some medical equipment, lost forever. I had plans to go get a new ring after the mri, but when I came home my family was all over for the news that my mum got diagnosed with cancer, so needless to say, getting a new ring went out of my head and by the time I realized it, the piercing had closed up. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, my point was to say, if ur thinking about getting this piercing just know it’s a bitch to take out and put in, so if u think u may have to frequently, maybe reconsider. Even having a spare earring wouldn’t solve it tho, because even before I lost my earring, when I’d have someone try to put it back in after my MRI, it would take them HOURS. All that said tho, I LOVED that piercing. I may even get it done again and take the advice in the video and just go to the shop every time I need it put back in!

[@haileyandaspoon]

Thank you so much for sharing your view points! I know it will help others!

[@kimbridge5592]

I had mine downsized after 9 weeks. I think 12 would be better. I had no issue it was just a little tender putting the new one through. No yucky stuff no crusty stuff. Still not game enough to sleep on that side yet as I have an anti tragus which is a little newer. Send ok fire headaches as long as it's not from my neck being out like the other day. It didn't hurt getting this piercing you think it does but it is just pressure.

[@indigocrayon520]

I got both pierced yesterday and this morning is the first day I've had no headache in months

[@haileyandaspoon]

Yes I can

[@soulactress77]

I can wear headphones, but they hurt a little when I do. Got my daiths 5 days ago. I love em.

[@diabolicalandi]

I had mine done and didn't know exactly how great they were until I had surgery and took them out. I couldn't drive after the surgery and didn't feel up to going to get them back in anyway so they closed up. I found out from the surgery that they could have taped them and I didn't need to take them out. Tip for you for the future. Now that they have closed up I'm back to having chronic migraines again. Now I have to go through playing again and healing all over again, but at least I know that for me it's worth it.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Good tip on taping them.

[@sydneymichel5942]

I’ve had mine for not even a week yet and it already stopped hurting, I can sleep on it. And it’s healing really well but I can’t wear earbuds which always sucks

[@haileyandaspoon]

If you are wondering if daiths may possibly help, try acupuncture as its a pressure point (by a professional lol) it can give you a rough idea if it may help with migraines

That is a good idea!

[@lorithorpe3502]

How exactly does it help, ive suffered with migraines for about 5 years , but the doctor just says it's because i'm going through the menapause, i'm taking 3 high dose beta blockers a day,& i also have to take immigran injections when it gets really bad, but they knock you out for abit , but they do help for abit with cool patches on my head too. But do get fed up of them all .

[@haileyandaspoon]

It helps because it is piecered on/near a pressure point for your head. I will have my 6 month update up next Tuesday (so turn on notifications!) And I talk more about if it has helped!

[@lizquillon6720]

I have both of my daiths pierced bc of headaches. LIFE CHANGER. Hurt like a MF and I’m pretty sure I traumatizes 3 teen age girls waiting to get their belly buttons pierced. When I walked out of the room one girl said “that obviously hurt” and I said “yeah, got my belly button pierced 😂”. The girls turned stark white. Lol. My right did not hurt post piercing. My left.... totally different story. I had my right ear pierced for 2 years and had to remove it for surgery and I was in so much pain for a week I forgot to put it back in. Went this week to have it pierced again and went ahead and did both.

[@prudencepittman7600]

2 months into my daith piercing. In the beginning no irritation. Now it is hurting. Not sure if I slept on it wrong, but geez. The process

[@makmitchelll]

I got mine 4 days ago and it didn’t hurt at all to get it done but 2 days after it started hurting soooo much and I wanna take it out so badly hahhaa

[@haileyandaspoon]

[@rosewiththorns4669]

I've had mine a week. It's not hiring now unless I bump it or it's a bit sore cleaning it. I had a hard pierce as my cartilage was thick so I'm expecting a bit longer healing time but I'm a fast healer so yup. I really don't get headaches. I have but that was from lack of sleep. The pressure headaches and stuff have just become a pressure point ouch that goes away fairly quickly

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am glad it is helping!

[@kelseyg8563]

I got mine over a year ago and I absolutely love it. I don’t get head aches anymore but with that said for school I had to put a clear retainer made out of plastic and my headaches came back around so keep metal in it. Ps I use the gummy headphones

[@crystalp9323]

I've been getting migraines everyday for over a year. I have been seeing a neurologist and had an MRI done. Brain looks totally normal on the MRI medications don't seem to help have been considering this piercing for 6 months but just a little chicken to go in and get it done and fear of it won't work for me.

[@haileyandaspoon]

You never know unless you try!

[@fluffyhedgehog7963]

I got my daith piercing on Saturday it’s now Monday evening it feels ‘ok’ and clean I’m cleaning it with sea salt and hot water with a cotton bud but I can’t see what I’m doing so it’s very much by feel. There is a small amount of crusty blood (tiny tiny bit) it’s swollen and achy when I clean it. I’ve noticed just now that the bar is more mobile now like I can move it up and down.

[@skiman68]

Do you have to get the ring for starters before switching to a curved bar? I'd like to keep mine somewhat inconspicuous as a 50 year old guy who isn't doing this for the cool factor ;)

[@catherinemarie1991]

skiman68 it depends on where you get it done. My shop pierced it and put in a curved bar so I’m going to have to switch to a ring when it heals. But with the curved bar you can’t see it unless you look in my ear

[@haileyandaspoon]

It depends on where you get it done. I had the option to have a ring or bar.

[@meghanh2511]

[@MandyPatrick_AspiringSinger]

I got mine done for my migraines almost a month ago. The dried blood and yellow crusties coming out still are a bit freaky but I believe normal. Its more centered now that the hole is closing and I do wash it every night before I go to bed. The headphone thing; that doesn't really bother me because I typically don't wear them a lot.

[@Amanda61688]

Yours seems to be much like mine was were my daith is not extreamly prominent like some other people's are. unfortunatly now nearly 2 years later I get crusties from time to time, or it almost seems to have an infectious bubble form, but clears up with in a week and is fine. It has helped with headaches but it was a pretty traumatic piercing to get as it was a very large chunk of skin taken out. I have a feeling it's now nearly fully healed but it's been a very slow and steady process and I wish you all the luck with yours!

I hope you still have relief with it.

[@haileyandaspoon]

I've had mine for six months and haven't changed it. When I do, I'm just going back to piercer when I want it changed!

[@Lovelysooull]

Yeah that is the best way to do it because the balls are so tiny and it is so hard to put it on!

[@Lovelysooull]

I waited about 6 months to change it, I always took care and cleaned it. I reccommend going to the piercer to change it for you because it is hard to see and the ball is super small. Good luck!

[@nyxrhapsodos7251]

I got mine done 4 days ago. The piercing part didnt hurt at all just sounded weird. But the day after and every day since has been full of PAIN. I have a high pain tolerance and this is bugging me. I have a ton of swelling. My jaw joint is swollen and hurts to move along with smiling my actual ear canal is swollen to the point i can barely hear out of my right ear. Cleaning it hurts like H-E- double hockey sticks. BUT i havent had a migraine since i got it done. I have daily migraines that never go away even with meds and i also have IIH aka PTC. I give it a month and if it doesnt start feeling better im taking it out. I want to take it out now it hurts so bad and itches as well.

[@haileyandaspoon]

It will get better! Promise! Mine was like that too!

[@MouseRata]

I just got mine yesterday, not for headaches though. Glad to hear it’s helping you. Did you have a lot of dried blood the first couple of days you were cleaning it?

[@elletaylor3855]

Yeah, same

[@MissJennyMann]

me too

[@lexi305]

Yes everyone does

[@haileyandaspoon]

Yes, I did.

[@marialovos9989]

Clean it with dial soap and water and put a&d ointment after cleaning it helps alotttt.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Thanks so much for the advice!

[@ThePinupGoddess]

Looks like you have a pressure bump at the top of the piercing. Putting a bit of crushed up aspirin, mixed with water ( to make a paste), on it over night, for a week, will get rid of it.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Good to know!

[@BipolarInfo1]

I'm newly into the idea of getting one, but I'm unsure how the pain will be for me. My pain tolerance is low to medium lol.

[@pamelam1101]

It hurts so far (just got it a good 30 minutes ago or so) but its not too bad, the worst part was the guy actually doing it. Not bad so far but hoping i can sleep.

[@Unholeh]

Niah Bianca If your pain tolerance is low to medium I wouldn’t recommend one for you lol I feel like my pain tolerance is medium to high for cosmetic things but when I got my daith done a few days ago it bloody hurt! I didn’t think it would be too bad but it was much worse than I was expecting, my belly piercing was nothing compared to it 😂 I only read about it after I got it done and learned it is one of the more painful piercings. So if you’re not great with pain, I don’t recommend! EDIT: I’ve since learned that mine hurt because of my tiny ears, my daith is way inside my ear and my piercer had to go through hard bony cartilage to pierce it!

[@pamelam1101]

I got it done about a month and a half ago and it's honesty not bad, I don't know what I am in scale of pain tolerance but I'd say I'm about average? I'm not sure if you got it yet but it honestly isn't bad. Mine didn't get infected, bloody, or get any keloids and I've barely felt any pain it's honestly been going really well. As for when I got it, my adrenaline spiked for me so I guess that took the pain out of it, it wasn't really painful more just like someone was pinching your ear really hard, like lots of pressure that's what my pierced told me. It's different for everyone and I've heard horror stories but for me it's gonna REALLY well.

[@mandythompson1815]

I had mine done 3 hours ago. It didn't hurt it was just weird pressure. So far it's still not hurting. Suspect it might be a bit sore tomorrow!!!

[@vickynewman5261]

it does hurt i had mine done yesterday

[@elenaduncan1536]

would the daith be sore for a 14 yr old im 13 rn but my birthday is coming up so id get it done for that i have my nose,belly and helix and none of them really hurt

[@jessie.marie.03]

I've had my daith pierced for 2 days and unfortunately I've still had a pretty bad migraine and a recurring headache. Honestly getting it pierced barely hurt at all and it isn't really sore or anything even when I clean it

[@haileyandaspoon]

i am glad you have had a good experience! The headache after the piercing was the worst for me!

[@destinyranee8300]

I got mine pierced yesterday and it wasn't bad last night but I woke up and it's swollen and sore. I'm scared but I'm cleaning it and not touching it I hope it goes down because it hurts 😣😣

[@haileyandaspoon]

How is it healing? I know mine was sore for awhile!

[@destinyranee8300]

@@haileyandaspoon honestly it was rough the first week and half but now its not bad at all I forget I have it sometimes lol but my right side got ripped out so gonna wait for it to heal and possibly try and re-pierce it. my headaches are far and few and I use to get them 2-3 times a week but I have only had one since I pierced it lol

[@JasmineJugmohan]

I just got both of my ears done. Im still trying to make sure everything is good and im cleaning it right. I haven’t had any headaches yet but irs also only my 3rd day with it and yes updates please. I wanna know how long it takes to heal and yeah no one gave the heads up about the headphones thing the first day i got it done and i was like dam that hurt and then realized probably shouldn’t wear headphones yet

[@myaroberson6808]

You psoted this on my birthday...the day i got mine ❤❤ it still hurts. I somehow got a kielod bump on it. Still cant wear head phones. It dont help woth headaches for me...noticed i have more headaches...might just be because of pian

[@haileyandaspoon]

How has it helped?

[@lauB30]

Did piercing the daith hurts bad ?

[@danyellhardnett2330]

i have the piercing, and it really works for migraines. i was suffering from migraines every day for hours at a time. i live it but it just fell out. i can't put it back in so i have to go back to the shop.

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am glad it helps.

[@danyellhardnett2330]

Yes i got it again

[@soniamunoz9281]

My Daith experience ughhh were to even start. So the piercing itself well it didn’t hurt, it was more like pressure. I didn’t mind it. 1wk in this!! Ughhh painful then it started to just itch all of a sudden. Itch, itch, itch, itch, itch. Sowee for all the itching. 😂 the I noticed 2wks in sore thru out and more itching. Mind you I would clean this sucker so bad. Everyday . Til like 2 months in I noticed it started to move (migrate) this sucker moved... yeah the itching was the first cause of it. 4 months in swelling, hurting, did I mention more itching. Yeah by the 5 month in or I should say out it just completely popped out! Now my healing begins. Guess what NO more itching. I guess my body just rejected it right from the get go! No biggy I will heal n maybe later on get it done again who knows! This has been the Only, but not last time I will pierce my ears.

[@galedekarios]

I suffer from cluster headaches and I hope it'll help with them.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Has it helped?

[@galedekarios]

@@haileyandaspoon I haven't got it yet, but I might get it after xmas. The headaches have disappeard a bit though.

[@haileyandaspoon]

That's good.

[@haileyandaspoon]

It is sore. How did it go?

[@ferb9216]

Does anyone know how bad a faith hurts compared to a rook or helix?

[@rntoro1]

is there another update video? do you wear earbuds often? I am thinking about getting this done but I am not sure because of pain and taking care of it.

[@haileyandaspoon]

I am getting ready to put up a new update in the next week or so! I do wear earbuds more comfortably now!

[@lmae8218]

I slept on the ear the same day I had my daith done and it didn't hurt at all I didn't even feel it. compared to my industrial piercing.... that one was not fun to sleep with

[@tammardacosta7094]

Just got this piercing 2 days ago.. what size is the earring u have in?

[@justicemakesmusic4714]

I’ve had migraines since I was 5.. I really want to get one of these. I’m so scared about the pain though lmao. I’ve donated blood though before, so it’s probably the same, just in my ear?? I hope at least lol.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Have you gotten it done? Has it helped?

[@justicemakesmusic4714]

Hailey & a Spoon yes! i got it a little over 3 months ago, and haven’t had a migraine since!

[@Samantha-oi7zy]

Justice Makes Music I suffer from migraines too!! On a scale from 1-10 how much did it hurt?

[@elismaroco]

@@Samantha-oi7zy 8, but its worthy

[@michellepalmer1070]

How long did it take for the headaches to ease?

[@haileyandaspoon]

Mine took about three days.

[@JosephineOE]

The pain after was fine for me tbh. On day three of getting mine Just trying to keep.cleaning it so it doesn't get infected

[@SakuraUchiha1401]

I got my daith done on the 28th of sept this year it too early to change? Want different jewelry in it as the kebloids i have are really bothering me

[@haileyandaspoon]

Personally, I would wait til kebloids are gone but it is fine to change

[@SakuraUchiha1401]

@@haileyandaspoon gonna wait and see if they go down as rn they have gone a little bigger prolly not helping that i feel paranoid haha Ty for getting back ^_^

I wanna get one so badly don’t u have to get enough of a ridge to get it like enough room mine is small but not enough room

Oh man! That sucks!

[@Raven26_]

Hailey & a Spoon I know right

[@gisellevanderlaan2576]

You’d be surprised…I went to one piercer who said no, but I wanted a second opinion so I went to a different piercer and she was able to do it! It’s worth it to ask, I think.

[@mayawhitt1025]

I got to sleep on mine the day I got it done, my ear is a little sore if I push it. My area where the daith is a little swollen but other than that it's fine.

[@haileyandaspoon]

that is awesome!

Lexi Ally did you get the daith piercing and if you did how bad did it hurt?

Hopefully it has been helpful.

[@ace-ug7jc]

I don't have a daith but i have the industrial bar. And i can't wait headphones so im forced to wear earbuds. And i clean mine more then normal cause i also hate the crusty stuff 😂ew

[@haileyandaspoon]

I bet! Crustys are the worst.

[@inked420js]

How does everyone say they cant sleep on it or wear headphones... maybe im super man lol. Mine dont hurt at all. Its a lil crusty still bein its only a week old but no pain at all. My migraines moved to the other side of my head but not as severe as they was.

[@haileyandaspoon]

Some have a hard time healing as I did. For the first little while, I did struggle to sleep on it or wear headphones. I now wear headphones comfortably and sleep fine.

[@darhlasmiles9261]

Does it help with anxiety?

No

I jist got a daith pricing and the pricing it's self don't hurt it only hurts when I touch it and I don't mean to touch it cause ur not supposed to I just keep forgetting it's there
