Daith Piercing

Louisville, KY

I can't wear earrings because my body rejects them. Is there a type that I could use so I could try the daith piercing?

Please ask your piercer for titanium it is the only metal that has no allergens. Professional body artist for 5 years and trained medical professional.

I have had both of mine pierced for the last 4 Year's now and I normally can't wear any type of jewelry but the one's the tattoo shop I went to used the surgical steel on me and I have had no issues at all. Honestly it didn't hurt either and I still have headaches but no debilitating migraines like I had before I got my piercings done. It was very well worth it. Most tattoo shops use surgical steel jewelry to pierce with.

Definitely get the titanium. They cost more but they stayed in for me. I’m allergic to the nickel in the silver so it would migrate out. I’ve had both done for almost 2 years and I have not had another migraine since. I will say that I have had a few headaches and pressure. The shop I went to in Myrtle Beach specializes in pain free piercings! Ask if they use a pain killer when they pierce and use the cleaning solution as directed. Mine were healed within a month, and you don’t feel them when you lay on them

Look for a piercing shop that offers implant grade surgical steel

If you go to a reputable shop. With an actual piercer on staff. You can get non metal. It cost me $65 . The ear post he put in is made of the same material as the new hip I got put in.
