Why gold and silver jewelry are not suitable for fresh and healing piercings?

Body piercings are not only a stylish accessory, but also a medical procedure that requires careful care and a responsible approach to choosing jewelry. Many people make the mistake of choosing gold or silver jewelry for fresh piercings, unaware of the possible negative consequences. In this article, we will look at why gold and silver are not suitable for fresh and healing piercings and which alternatives are safer.

Impurities in gold: the risk of allergies and infections
Gold is an alloy containing various impurities, such as nickel, zinc, and copper. These impurities are added to increase the metal’s hardness and resistance to corrosion. However, in large quantities, they can accumulate in the body and cause an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergy can include itching, redness, and peeling in the piercing area. Such a reaction can significantly complicate the healing process and lead to infection.

Disadvantages of jewelry shapes
The shape of gold and silver jewelry can be dangerous for fresh piercings. For example, a sample on the immersion part of the jewelry and poor polishing can injure your piercing from the inside. This not only slows down healing, but can lead to scarring and infection.

Ignoring anatomical features
The length and thickness of gold and silver jewelry are usually calculated for a standard size and do not take into account the anatomical features of each person. This means that the jewelry can either dangle or press on the skin tissue, causing discomfort and inflammation.

The clasp as a source of discomfort
The massive shape of the clasp or shift of jewelry can press on the scalp from behind, causing discomfort during sleep. In addition, these massive clasps collect all the secretions, which are impossible to clean out completely on your own. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria and increases the risk of infection.

We recommend alternatives for fresh piercings: medical steel and titanium.
For successful healing of piercings, it is important to choose jewelry that is safe and comfortable for everyday wear. The masters of the Tattoo and Piercing Studio “Fusion” use jewelry made of medical steel and titanium. These materials have several advantages:

– hypoallergenic: medical steel and titanium do not cause allergic reactions.
– mirror polish: jewelry has a smooth surface, which minimizes the risk of tissue injury.
– different lengths: we select the length of the jewelry in accordance with the client’s anatomy to ensure maximum comfort.

Gold jewelry is beautiful and prestigious, but it is not suitable for fresh and healing piercings due to the risk of allergies, injuries and infections. By choosing safe alternatives to jewelry made of medical steel and titanium, you provide your piercing with proper care and comfort during healing. After the piercing channel is formed, you can always put the jewelry to your taste.
