My daughter and I both got daith piercings here almost a week ago. Aimee was amazing! My daughter is 14 and was nervous about the pain of the piercing. Aimee explained what she was doing step-by-step and was just really cool through the whole process. For anyone considering getting a daith piercing and wondering about the discomfort, I'll explain our experience. (Keep in mind it's only been 6 days.) The "procedure" was minimally painful. The clamp that's used to hold your e...ar is uncomfortable but doesn't hurt. My daughter's piercing went very quickly, and from her description, it hurt for just a split second. My ear is a bit thicker than most, apparently, and it took a little longer to get the needle through. Even with taking a little longer than most, the actual act of pushing the need through couldn't have taken more than about 10-15 seconds. Much like my daughter described, the pain was fairly sharp, but very short lived. Sort of like a really hard pinch. What bothered me more than the pain was the "pop" sound that happened when the needle broke through the other side of the cartilage. It was a weird sound, and I wasn't expecting it, so it caught me off guard and was just a little creepy. Getting the tiny little ball screwed onto the end of the jewelry took just a couple more seconds after that, and it was a done deal! The rest of the day, our ears were slightly sore, but not even as bad as having my earlobes pierced. We have cleaned the piercings with Q-tips and saline a couple of times a day, making sure not to touch the site with our hands, and we are both healing nicely. Six days out, we're very slightly sore, but less and less so every day. We are able to sleep on that side of our heads with no pain, but to be safe, we are trying to avoid doing so. I got the piercing to help with migraines, and I allowed my daughter to get it to help with anxiety. I normally have an intense headache at least every other day (3-4 times a week). In the last 6 days, I've only had one. I think it's too early to tell if the piercing is thank for that, but it hasn't hurt. My daughter's anxiety seems a little better, as well, but I still think it's too early to tell. I'm very glad we chose Immortal and Aimee to do our piercings. Everyone there was super nice, and it's the nicest, cleanest tattoo shop I've been in. I'm certain I'll go back there to get my next tattoo! See More Read Less
