Exchange the standard belly button piercing bar with this solid titanium belly button bar in a length of your choosing. These bars are suited for:

6 mm belly bars
8 mm belly bars
10 mm belly bars
12 mm belly bars
14 mm belly bars

By far most belly button piercings have a bar made of surgical steel. This popular piercing material knows loads of advantages but unfortunately also certain disadvantages. Surgical steel might by much cheaper than titanium to produce and fabricate, but titanium is always the better choice when it comes to body jewellery. 
Surgical steel contains small amounts of nickel and will start to stain after a certain amount of time. Especially contact with water, sweat and soap will lead to discoloration. 

Titanium piercings are popular but also a bit more expensive. These bars made of solid titanium with a Grade 23 classification which means this titanium is very pure and of high quality. Save money by not buying a belly button piercing made entirely from titanium but just replacing a surgical steel bar with these titanium bars. 

Besides all the benefits that come from titanium bars, you also have the option to choose from several sizes. Is the standard 10 mm length too short or too long? Just order a bar of 6, 8, 12 or 14 mm along.

You can see for each belly button piercing whether or not that piercing has an interchangeable bar. If you can change the belly bars, we will always recommend upgrading to a titanium piercing bar. 

Curved Barbell - Size Guide

Despite the curve, measuring the length of Curved Barbells is still doable with something like a ruler. Measure the bars length in between the threading.

For the thickness, use a specialized tool like a caliper tool with a digital display.

Titanium - Material Guide

Titanium is known as the preferred material for initial Piercing Jewellery by piercing studios around the world. Quality-wise, Titanium is the best material you can choose.

In this Material Guide we look into the specifics of Titanium. Learn about the Pros and Cons and read about why Titanium is so appreciated globally.

Introduction to Titanium

Titanium is part of the Titan group and named after the Titans from the Greek Mythologie. Such a resemblance explains why this material is so widely used and in high demand. Titanium comes in various grades. All our Titanium Piercings are made of 'Implant Grade' Titanium. This guide focusses on this grade of Titanium only.

Implant Grade Titanium is free of any Nickel, hypoallergenic and non-corrosive. Altogether qualities that make Titanium suitable for practically everyone.

Titanium is a darker shade of silver, almost grey. The lack of a shiny silver color is one of the reasons people prefer 316L Surgical Steel.

Titanium Explained

Titanium was discovered in 1795. A mixture of zirconium, hafnium, and rutherfordium create Titanium. Implant Grade Titanium is known for medical screws and plated used to repair bone fractures. The human body doesn't reject Titanium, making it also ideal for Body Jewellery.

The metal is strong, light, and extremely non-corrosive. If you wear a Titanium Piercing, you never have to worry about any form of discoloration/tarnishing. A worry-free piercing jewel is what makes Titanium Body Jewelry so attractive, even when your piercing is fully healed. People sensitive to metals or Nickel usually tolerate Titanium Jewellery. All of our Titanium Piercing Jewellery is made of Implant Grade Titanium. This is often indicated as Grade 23, but the official name is Ti-6AL4V-ELi ASTM F-136.

Melting Titanium to make Body Jewellery is a complex process. This makes it more expensive to produce a Jewel from Titanium than from 316L Surgical Steel.

"Consider changing the bar of a 316L Surgical Steel Piercing for a Titanium one, if possible."

Although more expensive, since Titanium Jewellery will last forever, it may be well worth the investment. In opposite to Titanium, Body Jewellery made of 316L Surgical Steel can tarnish at some point. Consider changing the bar of a 316L Surgical Steel Piercing for a Titanium one, if possible. You can find loose Piercing Parts on our website.

To conclude, if you want a Piercing that doesn't require any maintenance and is hypoallergenic, get one made of Titanium!

Maintenance Instructions

After reading the previous information, you most likely already discovered that Titanium doesn't require any maintenance at all.

Before you put in your newly acquired Jewel, you can use alcohol to disinfect the piercing. We have alcohol pads and special swab sticks available to help out. If you prefer to use soap instead, that is no problem at all.

If your Titanium Piercing comes in contact with salt water, it may leave some white stains when dried up. This is a salt residue that you can clean with fresh water.
