Choose The Best Suited Body Piercing Material

Body piercing has been popular for a very long time. But today it has exploded like a bomb. As the number of people taking interest in body piercing is becoming more and more, the number of body jewelry is also increasing. Ear piercing is the most common body piercing activity, but many people also encourage nose and tongue piercing.

In the start of body piercing activities, people used to pierce with surgical steel jewelry. Surgical steel was used as a thin wire to pierce the ear lobe, ear pinna, and tragus. Today there are several materials available for body piercing. People use silver, gold, steel, titanium, Bioplast or bio flex, glass, acrylic, plastic, bone, wood and even horn. Resource Link

You can choose any of the material for body piercing. The choice depends upon your budget and your skin type. Some of these materials are very costly such as silver, titanium and gold. If you do not want to invest more than you can go for the cheaper material such as wood, steel and plastic. The choice of your body piercing material also depends upon your skin type. If your skin is sensitive for a particular type of material such as gold or steel than you need to change your decision. You should also be careful about the quality of material used. Always use good quality material. After ear piercing you can wear origami owl® earrings so that your ear hole doesn’t get close. Don’t wear origami owl® earrings until your ear piercing gets healed.

Surgical steel was very popular for body piercing, but it contains nickel. Nickel can be reactive to a small group of peoples. Although the amount of nickel in surgical steel was very less but the invention of newer materials for body piercing and higher production cost of nickel free surgical steel made it unpopular for body piercing.

For safe and protected body piercing, you should choose titanium. Titanium is the best choice of material for body piercing. Titanium is polished with inert materials which make it non-reactive and inert and it does not hurt your skin. Piercing experts suggest that you should wear jewelry bars® immediately after body piercing. Jewelry bars®  are available in titanium material and it can help in fast healing of the ear hole.

If you want a really small hole so that it is barely visible, you can use bio blast or bio flex. It is a form of plastic and that is why it is inert and does not react with your skin. The Bioplast jewelry bar® is more comfortable than titanium and gold jewelry bars®. The only disadvantage of bioplast jewelry bar® is that they are not attractive as other metal jewelry.

Another option for body piercing material is silver. Silver is not as pure as bioplast and titanium but still it is used in piercing. Silver is not recommended for first time piercing. You can wear the silver jewelry bars® or silver earrings after piercing. Gold, horn, bone and wood can also be used only for healed piercing.
