A daith piercing is a perforation of the ear cartilage for the purpose of inserting and wearing a piece of jewelry. The daith is primarily placed on the outer rim of the ear cartilage closest to the head. A variation often mistaken for the daith, known as the inner daith, forward helix, or inner helix, is placed in the horizontally-oriented piece of cartilage directly above the ear canal.
The piercing is often performed with either a curved needle to avoid damaging the other parts of the ear, or by using a receiving tube, a hollow length of steel used to catch the needle when there is little or no room for a cork (a method invented by Jim Ward). A small-gauge jewelry is usually inserted, as this part of the ear is difficult to stretch.
The jewelry most commonly worn in a daith piercing is a captive bead ring, though several other types of body jewelry are suitable.
