Titanium Body Jewelry - Strong and Lightweight

Titanium is a great material for body piercing jewelry.  It is light weight and is resistant to interference by bodily fluids.  When used for piercing it is highly polished and very non-porous.

Through a process called anodizing, titanium can come in a wide variety of colors.   An oxide layer is formed over the titanium which provides the color.   Over time this layer will wear away due to friction.   But the underlying jewelry will still be suitable for use.   Titanium is naturally a grey color.

Titanium alloy does contain other elements.  An oxide layer forms though which doesn’t contain these elements.  This layer prevents contact with the other elements and because of this irritation is very rare.

All of these factors make titanium a very good choice in piercing jewelry.   It’s also one of the toughest sounding elemental names out there.
