As well as facilitating a host of talented tattoo artists, Watford Tattoo also offers an in-house piercing service.
TITANIUM JEWELLERY
At Watford piercing, we use titanium because it is lightweight, comfortable and ideal for those with hypersensitivity issues. Our main goal is for your piercing to heal as quickly and easily as possible.
For initial piercings, the most common options are Surgical Steel and Titanium. We use surgical steel for earlobe piercings. Any alloys in the steel are trapped inside the material through a special process so they cannot be released from the metal – meaning those with alloy allergies will be unaffected.
When it comes to piercings other than the earlobes we universally use titanium. Titanium is an elemental metal which doesn’t contain nickel, which makes it extremely body friendly. Titanium is lightweight, meaning it’s more comfortable and more likely to heal in a quicker time.
We know that having a new piercing is exciting and you may have already picked out some beautiful new jewellery, but we strongly recommend 6 – 8 weeks healing time before you change from the initial piercing. It will be worth the wait. For more piercing services, visit our Watford piercing shop!
