What materials should be used for piercing jewelry?

The choice of materials is a strategic element of the practice. It affects healing, client comfort, and the perceived quality of your offering. Without multiplying the technical arguments, some materials remain reliable standards in a professional setting.

Titanium is now a benchmark for first fitting. Lightweight, durable and compliant with European requirements (REACH), it is particularly suitable for first fittings and for sensitive clients.

Surgical steel remains a safe choice for resale. It offers a good balance between durability, convenience and aesthetics, making it an essential product for structuring a range.

Bioflex is valued for its flexibility. It can be adapted to specific areas or special comfort needs, especially during the healing process or to limit pressure.

Finishes such as gold or silver plating add an extra aesthetic dimension. They allow the assortment to be enriched with more visually appealing jewelry while meeting the demand for style and customization.

Finally, acrylics can complement the assortment with lightweight and affordable jewelry, often used for temporary looks or additional sales.

Things to remember for your studio:

• Structure the offering with reliable and recognized materials.

• Adapt the choice according to the area (navel, nose, cartilage, surface...)

• Offer a balance between jewelry to wear and jewelry to resell.

• Promote quality to build customer confidence
