Why Getting Pierced with Quality Jewelry Matters

Over the last decade, one of the most common questions we are asked is if we carry hypoallergenic jewelry. When it comes to getting a new piercing, the jewelry you choose isn’t just about style—it’s about safety, healing, and long-term satisfaction. At Identity Body Piercing, we’re passionate about helping clients not only look amazing but heal beautifully too. That starts with using only the highest quality jewelry from the very first moment.

1. Better Materials Mean Better Healing

Quality body jewelry is made from implant-grade materials like titanium, solid gold, and niobium. These materials are biocompatible, meaning they’re safe for your body and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. Cheaper options—often found in mall kiosks or online—can contain mystery metals, nickel, or harsh coatings that interfere with the healing process and lead to complications like bumps, swelling, or infection.

2. Precision Counts

High-end jewelry is crafted with expert precision, from the polish of the metal to the smoothness of the post. That means no rough edges or poor threading to irritate fresh piercings. Quality jewelry is designed to work with your body, not against it, making your healing smoother and more comfortable from day one.

3. It Lasts (and Looks Better, Too)

Let’s be honest—part of the joy of getting pierced is showing off a gorgeous new piece of jewelry. Investing in quality means your jewelry won’t tarnish, chip, or fade over time. The gemstones stay brilliant, the gold keeps its shine, and your piercing continues to look its best for years to come.

4. Peace of Mind

When you choose professional piercing with safe, quality jewelry, you’re investing in your health and experience. At Identity Body Piercing, we only use jewelry from trusted, industry-leading brands that meet the highest safety standards—so you never have to wonder what’s going into your body.
