As a matter of fact that titanium is the best of metals used for body piercing jewelry as a consequence of its complete resistance to body fluid attacks. Moreover it is 100% compatible with the human body, not making allergic reactions, skin irritations or discoloration of any sort, making it the perfect metal for people who have sensitive skin. It’s really true that titanium weighs two times less than stainless steel, which makes it very advantageous for initial piercings. Even though it’s light weight, titanium is tremendously durable and is extensively used in the aerospace manufacturing. Dissimilar to some other companies on the market we sell only grade 5 titanium (polished to perfection) which is the most appropriate for body piercings. It contains 90% titanium (no nickel whatsoever!) and is three times tougher than commercial pure titanium. Its resistance to everyday wear is better-quality.
