Titanium is a preferred material for initial piercings because it’s an elemental metal – it doesn’t contain nickel. Titanium is as strong as steel, but as light as aluminum. … Unfortunately, Titanium is also more expensive material, so the piercing and the jewelry are going to be a bit higher, but you are worth it!
Consequently, is Titanium good for piercing?
Dr. Rabach also endorses titanium for new piercings, explaining that this metal “is a top choice for piercings because it’s biocompatible (meaning your body won’t recognize it as foreign and form a reaction against it). Titanium is so safe that it is often used as the metal of choice for surgical implants.”
Additionally, is gold or titanium better for piercings?
Arguably, titanium is more biocompatible than gold. But, we aren’t implanting things inside your heart- its a body piercing. And most piercers are going to be using titanium posts anyway for the piece that actually passes through the piercing, so just the front or decorative end will be gold in many cases.
