Daith piercing mistake 😳

49 replies

Stillstanding54 · 08/05/2025 17:02

So I had this piercing done today and at the time thought the earring cute and unusual
Now looking at the photo it looks huge and ugly. I’ve got to leave it in until it heals enough to have it changed I suppose 🙁
Any suggestions about what I could wear in the other piercings to try and make the daith look better until such times? 😭

I don’t normally like earrings (wear them every 2-3 years and cross fingers holes are still open) but I actually quite like that! It fits nicely in the space (looks proportional).

PlantyPotts · 08/05/2025 17:07

I also like it.

CubanTody · 08/05/2025 17:08

I like it too.

I like it! It looks very boho chic. I’m sorry you are not keen though. Maybe it will just take some getting used to. Every piercing and tattoo I’ve had, I’ve had a ‘WTF have I done’ moment in the first 24 hours and then it settles and I love it. Maybe it will pass. And if not you can have it changed soon.

I can see we’re not much use to your question 😂. Hope it helps you though

Monvelo · 08/05/2025 17:09

I like it, and your other earrings. If they're hypoallergenic would you tell me where you got them :)

Atarin · 08/05/2025 17:10

You can remove the other earrings until you get chance to change it. Having lots of earrings draws more attention to it. People only seem to notice my piercings if I have lots of them in.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 08/05/2025 17:11

I like it and don’t think it looks huge or ugly but if you want to take the focus off it then increasing the size of the other earrings, add colour to the other earrings or wear some earrings that dangle will all draw the eye to them instead of that one.

MushMonster · 08/05/2025 17:11

I love it! It is very original and cute.
Is it comfy? If so, really I would just leave it..
Not much help, sorry.

thinkofablinkingnamewoman · 08/05/2025 17:13

Sorry, another one who really likes the earring. No help I know, but perhaps give it a couple of days to get more used to it ....

TheGreatBugsy · 08/05/2025 17:16

I really like that! I can relate though as I also have earring choice regret with my daith and can’t wait until I can change it.

StarTwirl · 08/05/2025 17:20

I really like it

OpalSpirit · 08/05/2025 17:25

Looks really good! Sits well and is unusual.
Maybe you are just having a wobble after getting it done?
Maybe wait a week and see what you think then?

ChandrilanDiscoDroid · 08/05/2025 17:35

I'd just keep the rest of your ear low key for now and give it time to bed in. I'm surprised your piercer was willing to use something so decorative.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 08/05/2025 17:38

I am old, boring, have one earring in each year, and no tattoos. I’m another person who really likes it.

PrincessSakura · 08/05/2025 17:40

Maybe you just need to get used to it? I think it looks fab but I also have my daith pierced so I’m biased 😂

Karmaistheguyonthechiefs · 08/05/2025 17:43

I like it too, sorry about that!

On a related-ish note, I got my tragus pierced a few years back and I hated it so much I took it out within a couple of days - it stuck out loads at the side of my head and reminded me of Frankensteins monster with the bolts in his neck!

But anyway. Yours looks nice.

11plusinLondon · 08/05/2025 17:43

Me too!

SomeDanceToForget · 08/05/2025 17:44

It is very big. How long will you have to put up with it before you can change it?

LeaveTaking · 08/05/2025 17:45

Not much help but I think it looks great!

Stillstanding54 · 08/05/2025 17:50

Oh wow! Thank you all so much!
Maybe it is me just having a wobble 😕 and it’s just a case of getting used to it.
I may change the tragus and lobe to tiny studs so not so many hoops
My piercer is experienced and assured me it was fine to use. It is titanium and wasn’t cheap so I’ll just have to put up with it
Thank you all for the reassurance that it isn’t as bad as I thought

Love it. It reminds me of the three hares dancing in a circle. Celtic.

Thank you
They’re from Etsy and are sterling silver -RainSilverRain I think
The hoops are a shiny titanium, also Etsy - Crystalheavanlondon

How long are you expecting to wait until you can change it?
