Press Release Body: Fl, USA, May 28,2008..............Ok so you\'ve decided to get a body piercing, you\'ve done your research, you\'ve found a reputable artist, you\'ve chosen where you want it, hell you\'ve even chosen the clothes to wear after to show it off but you still haven\'t decided on the right body jewelery. It might sound like an insignificant factor to consider but rest assured choosing the right body jewelery is just as important as choosing the artist. With the right metal a piercing can look and feel wonderful . But with the wrong metal....disaster!
Many cultures have pierced their bodies for centuries. People did so for decoration and to show their importance to a group. Today we know much more about the risks of body piercing and that it is a serious decision. Before you get your piercing speak to the artist. Ask what metals they use or which ones they recommend. If they are a professional they should be able to advise you on which metals will suit your body and cause no harm to your piercing. All the metals artists should use should be very inert or non-reactive. They should be bio-compatible which means they will work well within the body. These metals can include :
Stainless Steel - The most commonly used stainless steel is grade 316 LVMF 138 which is the material used in many hip and knee replacements. It is silver in color but shouldn\'t be mistaken for actual sterling silver. While sterling silver looks great it tends to tarnish very easy when it oxidizes with body fluids. And a tarnished piece of metal is not something you\'ll want in an open wound thats still healing. Stainless steel is a safer alternative to sterling silver and many metal sensitive individuals can also use it (including myself!)However if you find your body is too sensitive to cope with any kind of metal there is a plastic called Tygon which is sometimes used. Your artist should be able to arrange for this material to be used in the likelihood you\'ll have problems with a metal piercing.
Niobium is another safe choice. Niobium itself is\'nt an actual alloy but an element, but rest assured its highly inert and has been known to be great for wear in the body. Titanium is a very common choice however it should always be grade Ti6A14V ELI to be safe.Titanium is often used for implant use in the body so its proven to be non reactive to bodily fluids. The great thing about using Niobium and Titanium is that they can be colored to suit your style using an anodizing process of passing electrical charges through the metal. The surface color can be occasionally changed by friction but rest assured this is not harmful. These two metals are often used because they have a light reflecting capability depending of course on the charge used.
And for those who wish to spend a little more money on their body jewelry there is solid 14k and 18k white and yellow gold.These metals are durable enough to be great body jewelry yet inert enough to get along well with the body , however you should consider not all gold is created the same. You need to be careful because of this fact. 14k gold is 14 parts gold out of 24 parts metal which means that 10 parts of your body jewelry are an alloy. Usually the alloy is made up of inert metals but occasionally the gold can be alloyed with the wrong metals such as nickel and this can greatly irritate piercings and prevent them from healing correctly.Be sure if you are going for gold to ask which carat it is and what other metals where used to just be on the safe side. You could be one of the unlucky ones that finds your gold is alloyed with a metal your allergic to. And then its bye bye jewelry and bye bye piercing!
