Tribal Expression employees and owners have been longtime Calgarians living at the base of the Rocky Mountains foothills. One of the benefits of living at the foothills is the wonderful adverse “chinooks” that we experience.
A Chinook can be compared to the San Andreas winds in California, a wind that brings a temperature inversion that drops out of the Rocky Mountains creating strong warm winds and a dramatic increase of the barometric pressure.
The Chinooks can be fantastic for melting your snow, where it was -30 one day and +5 the next. But Chinooks can wreak havoc on most headache and migraine sufferers. Many individuals in Calgary and the surrounding area experience intense migraines, a lot of this is believed to be due in-part to the Chinooks, change in barometric pressure, changes in temperature etc.

Tribal Expression has been open for 13 years, in this time period providing Daith piercings for many migraine sufferers. We have many, many clients that have said that they have experienced benefits from the piercing - reduction in pain, reduced frequency of headaches, and some are even medication free.
We have also had some clients say they've had little to no relief.
As a shop, we try to stay scientific and try not to influence people's decisions. We are of the opinion that the worst thing that can happen is that you get a great looking piercing.
