What, no picture of a real one? That pic is ridiculous. --Buddy13 (talk) 01:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
That has to be the worst photoshop ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.61.142 (talk) 14:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
"Dayth" line
[edit]So it's derived from da'at, which is pronounced "DAH aht," not "DAY aht." "Most areas" say "dahth" because not only is it closer to the actual Hebrew word, but because it is professionally referred to as "dahth" as well, reference, page 89 of Elaine Angel's "The Piercing Bible."
Main Photo
[edit]With no disrespect intended to the photographer or uploader, the current article photo isn't of a particularly high quality and doesn't provide much detail. My wife got a Daith Piercing today and I've taken a high quality (DSLR) picture of it. Would this be of interest as a replacement to the main article image?

- @Carnivoredaddy: I say yes, that for something like this, if there's not much more in the Wikimedia Commons (which, upon my searching there isn't, necessarily), your proposed photo is, as you mention, a much better quality one.
- I went ahead and "was wp:bold" and changed that. Thanks for the suggestion and better photo and descriptive caption! PolymathGirl (talk) 23:10, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Contradictions
[edit]The line, "The piercing is usually performed with a straight hollow needle," contradicts the line, "The technique for this piercing is quite advanced, requires a specifically curved needle and was devised by Erik Dakota." One, or both of these should be edited/deleted or somehow otherwise addressed. Fiveohthree (talk) 03:55, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
