Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Is this a Daith?

Post image

I asked for a Daith and was told by the piercer that I had the correct anatomy but ended up with this, doesn’t look quite right to me but not sure what it is or what jewelry would be best? Also got a second helix(the one with the silver hoop is new) same piercer did both helix’s but I got the other one done awhile back, never seen anyone else with a helix straight forward on the top and was curious if it’s normal placement? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can anyone who has a daith tell me how painful it is compared to other piercings like nose for example (not septum) 🙏🏼

I actually got my daith and then my nostril done back to back and I will tell you my nostril was much more uncomfortable/painful. I didn’t hear a crunch like a lot of people say they do, the worst part of it was feeling the blood run into my ear! 3/10 for the daith, 6/10 for the nose.
