Thats what I’m worried about ( getting a reaction ) , I thought if I had been peirced with it, then I must be ok with it. I keep seeing all these really nice labrets in titanium, but am a bit wary about buying them.
So titanium is least likely to cause a reaction?
Titanium is the best metal to use in a healing piercing, because it causes no allergic reactions (contains no nickel), unlike surgical grade steel, which can cause allergic reactions, although it is uncommon.
I was pierced with surgical steel, and have no reactions to it, but Ti is much higher quality, as is Niobium.
All my piercings have been with surgical grade steel. I know people who get gold jewelry, too. Even plastic (surface piercings). I haven’t actually known of anyone getting titanium in their new piercing, though.

I’ve had 17 piercings, and currently have my septum and nostirl done.
i had stainless steel for my piercings and i was fine , im sure titanium would be ok but you might get an odd reaction to it

Titanium is best as it contains no nickel
But steel CAN be used and so can Bioplast and Bioflex
