What kind of jewelry can I use for my piercing?
Here at Shaman Modifications we have a large variety of jewelry that we can use for initial piercings. We cannot use anything organic (i.e. stone, wood, horn, etc.) for the jewelry of initial piercings. Rings and things made of Stainless Steel tend to take longer to heal, so we do not to use those.
So what CAN we use for initial piercings? Implant Grade Titanium (ASTM F136 6AL-4V ELI) tends to work the best for several reasons. Not only does your body accept the metal easier than Stainless Steel, but it is also lighter in weight and will sit and heal more comfortably in your new piercing. Barbells, labret studs and curved barbells are the types of jewelry we initially insert in fresh piercings. We DO NOT pierce with rings, as they tend to complicate the healing process, but we can pierce FOR a ring so it fits the way you want it to whenever you make the switch (after the piercing is completely healed, of course).
As for most jewelry ends, we have our 14k and 18k white, yellow and rose gold selections! If we do not have what you are looking for in stock we can always special order the jewelry and if you cannot find a design your heart desires we can find someone to MAKE it for you.
