Titanium Body Jewelry

​

Titanium is a very strong, lightweight metal that is excellent for body jewelry. Titanium body jewelry is very popular and it is easy to see why - it is very practical, highly biocompatible and can be made in a huge variety of piercing jewelry.

Titanium piercing jewelry feels very comfortable and is recommended for people who have experienced irritation with other metal jewelry. This is because it has the highest biocompatibility of any metal. As a result titanium jewelry will not irritate your skin, can reduce healing times and odour. We recommend switching to titanium body jewelry if you have a piercing that is taking a long time to heal or is often sore. G23 titanium is so biocompatible that is it used for medical implants such as knee replacements, pacemakers and surgical pins. This is the same grade of titanium we use at Body Jewelry Shop, so you can be sure that you are getting the highest possible quality titanium jewelry.

Another major advantage of titanium is that is has the highest strength to weight ratio of any metal. This means that it is very lightweight, strong and durable. This is very helpful for large gauge titanium body jewelry because it results in the jewelry being much lighter than the equivalent steel jewelry. It puts less strain on the piercing, a problem that can lead to uneven stretching and thinning on one side of a stretched piercing.

Titanium is naturally a dark silver colour but it can be anodized to create a rainbow of colours, giving you many more options when choosing body jewelry.
