Titanium belly bars with glitter balls
Do you prefer a 6 mm, 8 mm belly bar or any other length? You can find some loose belly bars at the related products section.
Titanium belly bars with glittery balls on both ends. Simplicity is the key here, but these piercings are very good value for money. Solid titanium bars are nickel free and won't discolour. You can keep wearing them when taking a shower, or taking a swim.
The smooth glitter balls can't get stuck to any of your clothing, which makes these titanium belly piercings great to wear on a day to day basis. We also have the same belly button piercings with surgical steel bars. They are more affordable but don't have the benefits of titanium belly bars.
Belly Piercing - Size Guide
Belly Piercings are easy to measure with a ruler. The bar length is measured between the bars' threading.
Measuring the bar thickness is not doable with something like a ruler. Use a caliper tool with a digital display for accurate measurements.
Despite the default thickness being 1.6 mm, some people prefer a 1.2 mm belly piercing. Be careful when switching from 1.6 mm to 1.2 mm, as your belly button piercing might heal back to 1.2 mm.

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.
Pros and Cons
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.
