Why We Use Implant-Grade Titanium

What Is Implant-Grade Titanium?

Implant-grade titanium is a premium metal designed for use inside the human body. It's lightweight, durable, and an excellent choice for fresh piercings, which is why every piercing at Tattoo Image includes Titan ASTM F-136 implant-grade titanium jewelry.

​

Not All Body Jewelry Is Created Equal

The jewelry used for a fresh piercing can have a big impact on your comfort and healing. While some studios use stainless steel or other materials for initial piercings, we've chosen to make implant-grade titanium our standard.

Every piercing at Tattoo Image includes implant-grade titanium jewelry because we believe it's an excellent choice for fresh piercings. It's lightweight, nickel-free, and designed to be compatible with the body.

For clients looking for something even more unique, we also carry a curated collection of premium implant-grade titanium jewelry from respected brands like NeoMetal, Anatometal, Industrial Strength, Junipurr, Buddha Jewelry Organics, and more, along with beautiful solid 14k gold options.

We believe your jewelry should be just as thoughtfully chosen as your piercing.

BODY SAFE

Implant-grade titanium is designed to be compatible with the human body, making it an excellent choice for new piercings. It's widely used in the medical field for implants because of its quality and biocompatibility.

CORROSION RESISTANT

Unlike some lower-quality metals, implant-grade titanium resists corrosion and won't rust or break down when exposed to moisture, sweat, or normal body fluids.

MEDICAL GRADE

We use ASTM F-136 implant-grade titanium, a material that meets strict standards for medical use. This high-quality titanium is specifically manufactured for use inside the human body and is trusted by professional piercers around the world.

NICKEL FREE

Titanium contains virtually no nickel, making it a great option for many people with nickel sensitivities. Choosing nickel-free jewelry can help reduce the risk of irritation during the healing process.

LIGHTWEIGHT

Titanium is incredibly strong while remaining lightweight, making it comfortable enough for everyday wear without putting unnecessary weight or pressure on a healing piercing.

BETTER QUALITY JEWELRY

The quality of your jewelry matters just as much as the quality of your piercing. Starting with implant-grade titanium gives your piercing the best environment for a smooth, healthy healing process.
