Ear Piercing
The majority of ear piercing is performed using sterilised surgical stainless steel.
Studex uses only surgical steel that is manufactured to a specification that does not allow nickel release, thus stopping nickel allergies like nickel dermatitis.
Titanium is a very pure metal not containing nickel.
Studex jewellery uses polished surgical stainless steel, 24k gold plated surgical stainless steel, 14k yellow gold and 14k white gold.
Some manufacturers make their ear piercing studs from plastic (Blondahl) and brass (Caflon).

Nose Piercing
The Medisept nose piercing system is a safe and innovative alternative to the traditional needle piercing. MediSept nose piercing studs are manufactured using the finest high-grade titanium available, categorised as implant grade G23 titanium. The titanium material is inert to the body, meaning that it is non-irritating to body tissue.
Navel Piercing
Navel piercing using the Medisept piercing instrument is performed with 316L surgical stainless steel jewellery. Titanium, usually grade G23 can also be used when piercing with a needle but this material has a much higher cost. 9k gold should not be used for initial piercings as it is too impure.
