ASTM F-136 Titanium: The Best Material for Your Piercing Jewellery
ASTM F-136 titanium is a firm favourite for piercing jewellery because it combines safety, comfort and durability. Let's look at why this material is so prized.
Why Choose ASTM F-136 Titanium for Your Piercings?
ASTM F-136 grade titanium offers several advantages, making it a top choice for piercing jewellery:
- Hypoallergenic: titanium is biocompatible, making it ideal for sensitive skin or a tendency towards allergies. ASTM F-136 titanium contains no nickel or other common allergens.
- Lightweight and comfortable: titanium is remarkably light, making jewellery easy to wear without extra strain on the body, which matters most for new piercings that are still healing.
- Durable and corrosion-resistant: this material doesn't degrade over time, resists corrosion, and keeps its shine and finish. That means you can wear titanium piercing jewellery every day.
How to Look After Your Ear Piercing
Looking after your titanium piercing jewellery isn't just about keeping it shiny, it's essential for healthy healing too. Here are a few practical tips for caring for these precious pieces.
How Do You Care for ASTM F-136 Titanium Jewellery?
Titanium is known for resisting corrosion and being easy to maintain. To keep your piercing jewellery in perfect condition and avoid slowing down healing, follow these steps:
- Daily cleaning: if your piercing is fresh, clean it twice a day for the first three weeks. Use a saline solution to clean your piercings. This sterile, gentle liquid is ideal for removing discharge and debris without irritating the skin.
- Application: soak a sterile compress in saline solution and gently clean around the piercing. Avoid using cotton wool or other materials that could leave fibres on the piercing.
- Drying: after cleaning, gently pat the area dry with a clean towel or sterile compress to avoid moisture, which can encourage bacteria.
When Should You Change Your Ear Piercing?
Knowing when and how to change a piercing matters, to avoid injury and infection:
- Wait for healing to be complete: don't change your piercing jewellery before healing is complete. For most ear piercings, healing time varies widely by placement, from a few weeks for a lobe to several months or more for cartilage piercings like the daith. Don't hesitate to book a check-up with your piercer to see how your healing is progressing. *With ASTM F-136 titanium, you can choose a piercing you love right from your first fitting.*
- Technique for changing your ear piercing: when removing or changing a piece of jewellery, make sure your hands are clean and that both the jewellery and the piercing area are properly cleaned. Use a sterile compress to hold the jewellery if needed, to avoid contaminating the area.
- Consult a professional: if you're unsure about the procedure, or if the piercing seems infected or irritated, it's best to consult a piercing professional for help.
By following this advice, you'll get the most out of your titanium jewellery and keep your piercings in optimal condition, for lasting beauty and health.
