Here is a healed daith piercing with 14ga captive bead ring (CBR).
And here is some info about the daith piercing...
"Fakir Musafar added, "The Daith piercing was co-created in 1992 by Erik Dakota and a Jewish woman piercing client with a metaphysical bent. Erik (my second piercing school student) was piercing in Santa Cruz then and we were collaborating on our new jewelry company, Dakota Steel, Inc. The woman instinctively understood what the Hindus had been teaching about body piercings for about 3,000 years: that rings left in an orifice of the body act as a "Guardian of the Gate". They can be magically charged at the moment of the pierce to act as a "filter" to what goes into and out from that orifice. In the case of the ear, an appropriately placed and charged ring could filter out all that is nonsense and let pass that which is intelligent. Erik and the unnamed woman were guided to create a piercing to do just that and the woman gave it the Hebrew name for intelligence: Daith. A true Daith must be done in such a way that the bottom part of the ring appears to come directly out of the ear canal. If one can see both the entrance and exit hole of the ring, it is not a true Daith" - Fakir Musafar: The Unique Piercings of Erik Dakota, Body Play Magazin #4, 1992
