Piercing titanium jewelry refers to any kind of jewelry that is secured to the body by means other than a necklace or ring. Also referred to as body jewelry, it is imperative that these pieces of jewelry are durable and hypoallergenic.  In addition to the foregoing, there are only a few materials that are suitable for the continued close contact the jewelry will have with the body and its secretions.  Piercing titanium jewelry is amongst the favored pieces simply because of its durability and at the same time its light weight.  Granted, you will pay a little more for titanium, but in this case you will truly get what you pay for!

If you are serious about body piercing, titanium jewelry is serious about protecting the freshly pierced skin, and providing you with years of comfort and durability.  Other materials available are stainless steel, 18 karat gold, acrylic and to a lesser extent pyrex.  Implant grade titanium has quickly become the material of choice for those in the industry and in the know, and it is not surprising that more and more body piercing studios stock a large variety of titanium jewelry.

For your body piercing, titanium jewelry is probably the smartest choice, simply because it does not react with any body fluids.  It does not matter if you have a pierced tongue or belly button; the metal will not trigger any allergic reactions, skin irritation, or become discolored after a prolonged contact with your saliva or other body fluids. This is of course great news for anyone who has ever had an allergic reaction to a piercing before. Usually these reactions happen when nickel is somehow found in the piece of jewelry you are wearing.  You may have noticed that necklaces and rings containing nickel leave a bit of a green mark when rubbing against your skin and combining with sweat. With titanium you will not have to worry about these impurities.

Of course, for those who like to wear highly polished pieces in their piercing, titanium jewelry also has other benefits.  As its inclusion in the aerospace industry has shown, this lightweight material is practically indestructible and will retain its high polish and beautiful shiny surface for years to come.

Piercing titanium jewelry comes in a variety of styles and for many different uses:
• Titanium belly button rings are perfect for your navel piercing.  The steel is colored in any number of ways, and may sometimes even display a little crystal. The top ball is usually 5 mm and the bottom measures about 8mm.

• Titanium curved barbells are perfect for nipple and eyebrow piercing. The cones on the end make a simple fashion statement while the length of 10 mm is perfect for the sensitive areas surrounding the eyebrow and nipple areas.

• Earrings have always been in fashion, and it is not surprising that titanium jewelry for your ear piercing can now be found at almost all reputable jewelry stores.

Because of the wide variety of styles available, you will be able to find something that fits any mood, style, and also budget. 

So go ahead and add some titanium to your piercing and enjoy the light weight and beautiful color display you will soon have. Be assured that the titanium will be kind to your skin and body, and will not get discolored at any time.  Additionally, because of the cleanliness this material affords the wearer, you will be able to cut down on your risk of infection considerably!
