The Benefits of ASTM F-136 Titanium for Ear Piercings
ASTM F-136 titanium is ideal for piercing jewellery thanks to its high biocompatibility. Titanium piercing jewellery combines durability with comfort.
Why Choose ASTM F-136 Titanium Jewellery
ASTM F-136 titanium jewellery is ideal for first piercings, as it's specifically designed for prolonged contact with the body, ensuring optimal safety. Since it contains no nickel, our piercing jewellery reduces the risk of irritation, infection or inflammation.
The many benefits of ASTM F-136 titanium:
- High biocompatibility: significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions, which matters most for sensitive skin.
- Non-toxic: releases no harmful substances into the body, ensuring maximum safety during prolonged contact with the skin. This supports healthy healing.
- Corrosion-resistant : titanium doesn't rust, doesn't tarnish, and stands up to water and sweat, extending the life of the jewellery.
- Lightweight: its low density makes titanium jewellery comfortable to wear, even over long periods.
- Strength and durability: light as it is, titanium is extremely strong and resists scratches and everyday wear.
- Hypoallergenic: contains no nickel or other metals often linked to skin reactions, making it an ideal choice for anyone prone to allergies.
- Easy to clean: titanium jewellery can be cleaned easily with no risk of damage, helping keep the piercing hygienic.
Caring for Your Titanium Piercings: Tips and Advice
Keeping your titanium piercings in top condition just takes a few simple but essential habits. If your piercing is fresh, we recommend cleaning it twice a day with a saline solution and a sterile compress. Keep this up for three weeks.
Avoid harsh chemical products, which can damage titanium or irritate your piercing. Products containing alcohol or other chemicals can cause irritation, inflammation or even infection. Gently pat the area dry after cleaning to avoid moisture, which can encourage bacteria. This regular care not only helps your jewellery last, it also keeps hygiene spotless, which is essential for the health of your piercing.
The Elegance of 14k-18k Gold for Your Ear Piercings
14k-18k gold is highly prized for piercing jewellery for several reasons. This precious metal isn't just known for its shine and beauty, it also offers excellent hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for anyone sensitive to other metals.
Choosing Gold for Your Piercing Jewellery
Gold is a symbol of luxury that instantly adds polish to any style. Worn alone or with other metals, it catches the eye and adds a touch of shine to your ear compositions.
Our Tips for Caring for Your Gold Piercing Jewellery
Just like ASTM F-136 titanium, we recommend:- Cleaning your piercing with a sterile compress
- Using a saline solution to clean it
- Avoiding any harsh products that could damage your piercing jewellery or irritate your piercing, causing irritation, inflammation or even infection.
Don't forget to wash your hands (nails, palms, between fingers) before cleaning your piercing. If your piercing is new, clean it twice a day for three weeks.
