Why Titanium Jewelry Is the Best Choice for New & Healed Piercings

What Makes Titanium So Special?

Titanium is the piercing world’s gold standard, not just for looks, but for how beautifully it works with your body. At Pink Gem, new piercings start with implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136), the same material used in medical implants.

Hypoallergenic & Nickel-Free

Nickel sensitivity is common and can cause redness or bumps. Titanium contains no nickel, making it ideal for sensitive skin, especially during early healing when tissue is most vulnerable.

💡
Many “metal allergies” are actually nickel reactions. Titanium avoids the issue entirely.

Implant-Grade & Biocompatible

Look for ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 — these certify the alloy meets medical standards. No toxic fillers, no flaky coatings — just pure, polished titanium your body recognizes as safe for smooth, predictable healing.

Lightweight Comfort

Titanium is about half the weight of steel but just as strong. Less weight means less movement and less stress on healing tissue — perfect for cartilage, nostrils, navels and more.

Anodized Rainbow Colors (No Dyes!)

Through anodizing, we adjust voltage to change the oxide layer thickness and create gorgeous colors: gold, pink, purple, blue, teal, without paints or plating. It’s pure science-powered sparkle.

Made for Long-Term Wear

Titanium doesn’t tarnish, rust, or corrode, even with sweat or moisture. It stays smooth and bright for years, making it perfect for both fresh and fully healed piercings.
