Daith piercing

Captive bead rings are the most common jewellery type used.

Fakir Musafar noted: "The Daith piercing was co-created in 1992 by Erik Dakota and a Jewish woman piercing client with a metaphysical bent.

... A true Daith must be done in such a way that the bottom part of the ring appears to come directly out of the ear canal.

If one can see both the entrance and exit hole of the ring, it is not a true Daith.

The technique for this piercing is quite advanced, requires a specifically curved needle and was devised by Erik Dakota.
