Titanium is lightweight and hypoallergenic.
316L Stainless Steel is commonly used for jewelry because it will not oxidize or turn black with only minimal maintenance. Its resistance to corrosion and staining, as well as its durability and sleek look, have made stainless steel body jewelry the most popular type of material for piercing enthusiasts worldwide.

Whether you're a piercing enthusiast or a newbie, understanding the different sizing options available can help you make informed decisions and ensure a perfect fit. In this guide, we will explore the various measurements and sizes associated with body jewelry piercings.
The gauge size refers to the thickness of the jewelry. It is essential to choose the correct gauge size to avoid discomfort or complications. The most common gauge sizes for body jewelry piercings range from 20G (0.8mm) to 00G (9.3mm). The smaller the gauge number, the thicker the jewelry.
The length of body jewelry is another crucial factor to consider. It determines how well the jewelry fits and how it sits on your body. For example, when choosing a belly button ring, you need to consider the length of the barbell to ensure it doesn't dig into your skin or hang too low.
The diameter of body jewelry is particularly important for piercings like nose rings, lip rings, or nipple rings. It determines how snugly the jewelry fits around the piercing. Choosing the right diameter ensures a comfortable and secure fit.
For jewelry with removable balls, such as barbells or captive bead rings, the ball size is an important consideration. The size of the ball can affect the overall look and feel of the jewelry. It's crucial to choose a ball size that complements your piercing and personal style. Our common sizes are 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, to 6mm.
Lastly, the material of the body jewelry plays a significant role in sizing. Different materials have different properties, such as flexibility or rigidity, which can affect the fit. Additionally, some materials may cause allergies or irritations in certain individuals. It's important to choose a material that suits your body and preferences. We have a range selection from Surgical Steel, Titanium, and 14K Gold.
Remember, everyone's body is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's always advisable to consult with a professional piercer who can guide you through the sizing process and recommend the best options for your specific piercing.
By understanding the various sizing options available for body jewelry piercings, you can ensure a comfortable and stylish experience. Take the time to measure and choose the right size, and don't hesitate to seek professional advice when needed. Happy piercing!

Ear piercings are one of the most common body piercings so it is important to keep them clean and avoid contamination!
Always, always, ALWAYS wash your hands before touching your piercings (most importantly under the fingernails), this will lower the chances of contaminating the site especially if your piercing is in the newer months and the wound is still open
Newly pierced:
If your piercing is still new and the wound is still open, it is best to avoid rubbing alcohol. You can create your own saline wash by mixing non-iodized salt (1 tsp) to 8oz of water. If you have a spray/ or squeeze bottle you can simply rinse over a sink or towel.
Keeping your pillow clean is also a plus because bacteria from the hair can transfer to the pillow and then possibly transferring back to the piercing. Flip the pillow after each night and change the pillow case every 2 to 3 days. If you run out of pillow cases, you can always put a clean t-shirt on top!
Healed piercings:
Healed piercings are easier to care for since they are less likely to get infections. Taking out your piercings and cleaning the hole with a swab dipped in rubbing alcohol is usually sufficient enough, or you can use a more concentrated solution of saline water. As for the piercing, wipe the metal with rubbing alcohol and allowing it to dry before placing it back into the ear.
Piercings are susceptible to allergies reactions due to metal sensitivity. For new piercings, it is recommended to wear surgical steel 316L or titanium to lower your chances of infection. Regardless, it is safer to wear these metals to lower allergic reactions whether your piercing is new or old.
Here are some frequently bought hypoallergenic piercings to add to your collection:
If you ever need to take an earring out whether it is to go through an airport check, x-ray machine, or for work attire, always use a retainer to keep the hole from closing up:
