Daith Piercings for Migraine Relief

Elite Ink in recent years has helped those seeking relief from migraines with the Daith piercing. From the results obtained by the staff it has been concluded that a majority of clients that invested in the Daith piercing received at least some if not full relief from chronic migraines. It is thought that the Daith piercing works because relief is gained by inserting surgical jewelry in the accupuncture region of the ear has been proven to control migraines. This story has gained local attention by being featured on Channel 7 WXYZ.

What Piercing Should You Be Getting?

When looking for body piercings in Detroit, it’s helpful to know first and foremost what sort of piercing you’re looking to get. Some people know already what type of piercing they want, and in those cases, it’s easier to look up what your next steps should be. However, if you’re struggling with what piercing you want to get, here are a few ways to figure out which one is right for you.

How Old Are You?

Not all piercings can be done on everyone. For certain facial and body piercings, you’ll need to be at least 18 years old. This includes just about all body piercings, with the exception of some naval piercings, as well as most facial piercings. In order to get these piercings, you’ll need to have proof of your age ready to show – usually a driver’s license or similar form of I.D.

However, if you’re under 18, there are still a few piercing options for you. Ear piercings, eyebrow piercings, nose piercings, and Madonna/Monroe piercings can all be done starting at age 16 with proper parental consent. These can be good options for piercings if you’re just starting out, or if you’re too young to move on to other facial piercings.

Do You Have Migraines?

While this might seem like a fairly specific question when deciding where to get your piercings, it can be helpful for those suffering from migraines. One of the reasons that Elite Ink is one of the best piercing studios in Metro Detroit is due to the helpful effects of our daith piercings. Daith piercings have been shown to help reduce the frequency and pain of chronic migraines, sometimes eliminating them entirely. Our daith piercings have helped many people reduce or eliminate their migraine symptoms and have even gotten us coverage on Channel 7 as one of the best body piercers in Detroit.
