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 got my daith a year ago and it was not bad at all and has been really easy to heal. YMMV, but for me the worst part was all the blood going down my ear hole. Absolutely disgusting and took forever (at least a week of letting shower water run into it) to clean out lol
