ASTM F-136 Titanium Ear Piercing

Frequently asked questions about ear piercing jewelry

Which jewelry should you choose for a recent ear piercing?

For a recent piercing, you should choose jewelry that is stable, comfortable, and suited to your anatomy. Depending on the location, an ASTM F-136 titanium labret is often a good option. The final choice should always take your piercer's advice into account.

Ring or labret for an ear piercing?

A labret is often more stable during healing, especially for the helix, tragus, conch, or flat. A ring can be very stylish, but it is generally more mobile; it is therefore often best to consider it once the piercing has stabilized, unless your piercer advises otherwise.

Which titanium ear piercing should you choose for a sensitive ear?

For a sensitive ear, ASTM F-136 titanium is generally an excellent choice. It is lightweight, stable, and does not contain added nickel like some steel alloys. You should also make sure to choose the right length or diameter to avoid pressure.

Which finish should you choose: silver or gold?

The silver finish corresponds to polished natural titanium. The gold finish is achieved by gold PVD on titanium. The choice depends primarily on the style you are looking for and the jewelry you are already wearing on your ear.
