Platinum Point Book
One client in the room at a time

Daith piercing, placed.

The inner fold of cartilage above the ear canal. A ring, fitted to the curve. We look at the fold first, because not every daith takes one comfortably.

The visit

In order.

Nothing is pierced until you have seen the spot and agreed with it.

First

The tray

At the low table, with a mirror in your hand. We look at the ear, find the spot, and you choose the piece if you'd like gold. Nothing clinical is out yet.

Then

One needle

Under a minute. A single motion with a sterile needle; no gun, ever. The piece goes in the same moment.

Before you leave

The downsize, booked

Four weeks on, the post is shortened. It goes in the book before you leave, and it is included.

Questions

Asked often.

Does a daith piercing hurt?

Daith is a thicker section of cartilage so the piercing takes a moment longer than a helix — sharp pressure rather than lingering pain. Soreness lasts a few weeks.

Is a daith piercing really a migraine cure?

There is no clinical evidence that it is. We will not pierce on that claim. If you like the aesthetic, we will pierce it to the same standard regardless of your motivation.

Can I wear a barbell in a daith piercing?

Rarely well. The fold's geometry means rings sit cleanest long-term. We will show you both options during the consultation.

Can I sleep on a daith piercing?

Yes — once fully healed, around nine months. Before that, side-sleeping on the fresh placement is the most reliable way to get an irritation bump. Use a travel pillow during healing.

Will a BVLA piece fit in a daith?

Yes, and it can go in from the start if that is what you want. BVLA makes rings and clickers in small diameters suited to daith anatomy. We hold pieces up against your ear before anything is marked, so you see which ones sit right on you.

How much does a daith piercing cost in Auckland?

Daith piercings at Platinum Point in Parnell, Auckland are $150, including implant-grade titanium starter ring and an aftercare briefing.

How long does a daith piercing take to heal?

Full healing takes 9 to 12 months. The daith passes through dense inner cartilage with limited blood supply. No downsize is normally needed.
