Safe Piercing: Why Implant-Grade Titanium is Your Best Option

Getting a piercing is an exciting decision, but the choice of material is just as important as the aesthetics. At Kuyen Art, your trusted studio in Palma de Mallorca, we prioritize your health by using exclusively Implant-Grade Titanium (ASTM F-136) and 14k/18k Gold. Why?

The Problem with Surgical Steel

Many studios use “surgical steel”. Although it sounds safe, this material contains nickel, one of the most common allergens. This can cause:

• Allergic reactions.
• Chronic inflammation.
• Jewelry rejection.
• Skin discoloration.

Advantages of Implant-Grade Titanium

ASTM F-136 titanium is the standard material for medical implants (such as hip replacements), and it is what we use for all of our initial piercings:

1. Hypoallergenic: 100% nickel-free. Ideal for sensitive skin.
2. Lightweight: Weighs half as much as steel, reducing tension on the piercing.
3. Biocompatible: The body does not recognize it as a foreign object, accelerating healing.
4. Durable: Does not corrode or lose its shine with sea water (vital in Mallorca!).

Our Jewelry Collection

Besides being safe, titanium can be beautiful. At Kuyen we have pieces anodized in gold, rose, or blue, and designs with Swarovski crystals and opals.
