Why Implant-Grade Titanium Leads

ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is nickel-free and highly biocompatible, making it the safest standard choice for new and healing piercings, especially for clients with sensitive skin or metal allergies.

Where Steel and Gold Fit In

Surgical steel is a budget-friendly option but can contain trace nickel that triggers reactions in sensitive clients. Solid 14k or 18k gold is a beautiful long-term upgrade once a piercing is fully healed, but it's rarely recommended for fresh piercings due to cost and the risk of switching too early.
