How to choose
Titanium is the metal most often recommended for fresh piercings. It is light, contains no nickel and does not oxidise in contact with lymph, so a reaction to it is rarer than to any alloy.

FAQ
Why is titanium better than steel?
Titanium is about half the weight and contains no nickel. 316L steel is also fit for wearing, but there is nickel in it, and people sensitive to nickel feel it. For a fresh piercing titanium is the safer choice.
Can titanium be worn all the time?
Yes. Titanium does not oxidise in contact with lymph and does not change colour, so it is not taken off at night or in the shower. The jewellery is worth removing only for cleaning — and only from a healed piercing: a fresh channel is not left empty.
Which size should I choose?
The typical size for this zone is 1.6 mm thick, 10 mm long. Jewellery smaller than needed presses on the channel, bigger — catches on clothes and hair. The exact size of each model is given on its page.
How long does a navel piercing take to heal?
A navel takes a long time to heal — from 6 months to a year. It is not cartilage, but the skin here moves constantly, and rubbing against a belt and underwear slows healing down.
