What is a daith piercing?

A daith piercing is one type of ear piercing, this piercing rests deep in the shell of the ear at the root of the helix crus( the ridge of cartilage just above the ear canal that fades down into the conch).

Most ears are configured with a pierceable crest at this location. It is a subtle but attractive piercing because of its concentric appearance; the jewelry frames the tissue and, in turn, the ear frames the jewelry.

When placed properly, the lower part of the ring seems to come directly out of the ear canal.
