Katie’s Daith Piercing

Katie’s daith pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm rose gold titanium CBB. Another customer, like the many of late; who have sought out this piercing with regards to alleviating migraines. Katie felt some instant relief, but it’s difficult to conclusively judge; at least until fully healed which can take 6-12 months.

Joel’s Daith Piercings

Joel’s another awesome guy that requested a double daith piercing due to persistent chronic migraines. I was more than happy to help, piercing Joel with a pair of 1.2mm titanium CBBs. Joel said he felt some instant relief after the piercing which is positive although I cannot speculate that this either cures or soothes migraines. I did say to Joel, if he does have a migraine or headache, to perhaps clean the piercing/jewellery and see if that pressure from moving the jewellery stimulates the apparent trigger point. I really, genuinely hope that this is something that can work and I will keep track with my people to see how healing and results occur over time.

Lorelle’s Daith Piercing

The lovely Lorelle was actually the first customer to directly contact me regarding the daith piercing and the apparent wave of ‘information’ claiming this a cure for migraines. I was in wonder, delighted to assist Lorelle with what for me is a simple request; with effectively a greater meaning than just the aesthetic. I have researched the subject since this piercing and even spoke to an acupuncture specialist who admitted she didn’t know of this craze. I have to say that to find a specific point, means that working in millimeters you could be ever so slightly out, if there is indeed an exact pressure point. I specialize precision piercing wise on being exactly accurate to what my client or customer wishes/works (body wise.) Daith’s can be pierced badly, either too deep or too shallow which can result in excessive/persistent swelling (i.e. not healing) for the former; or straight-up rejecting in cases of the latter. I pierce a daith with a titanium CBB so as to allow room for swelling and jewellery you can maneuver easily when cleaning. If the heavy metal look isn’t you, I can fit a micro-curved bar when fully healed, internally threaded jewellery is an option for a discreeter look alongside clear bioflex retainers. I have to state Lorelle noticed some instant relief and contacted me a couple of weeks after and stated she hadn’t had a migraine since. However, these can take from 6-12 months to fully heal and I will be keeping up with clients in the hope that this “craze” does indeed work, but would strongly refrain from endorsing it so to speak; as everyone is an individual and indeed different. One thing I’ve said lately is that if you suffer from migraines and are considering the daith piercing option, pinch your daith at a time when you are suffering; to maybe gauge an indication as to if this could perhaps work for you.

Eve’s Daith Piercing

Here’s some awesome shots of Eve’s daith pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium CBB. The daith piercing has always been pretty popular at Shiva throughout my time, lately however I have pierced many clients seeking a migraine remedy/relief. Both the lovely Eve and her mama had their daith’s pierced by myself after researching the various articles online stating ‘daith piercing = no migraines.’ I can’t claim to either encourage or dismiss this idea but I am going to try to keep up to date throughout and after healing to see what results may occur.

Awesome shots of Ann’s double piercings!! Daith pierced w/1.2mm x 8mm titanium CBB whilst the industrial scaffold has been pierced w/1.6mm x 38mm titanium bar. The blue marks under the scaffold bar are from a couple of mark ups whereby I line up between the dots as best possible to give you options of how you want it to sit. Sometimes there’s not much room to maneuver for options but Ann had a really well defined ear for piercing. Always happy to talk angles and positioning…
