Why Titanium at Keisha's
For all our helix piercings, we use implant-grade titanium jewellery to guarantee safety, comfort, and durability. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for this cartilage piercing along the upper ear. Unlike cheaper metals that can cause irritation or delay healing, our titanium studs and hoops promote a cleaner, faster healing process, helping your piercing heal smoothly and stay comfortable.
Aftercare
Clean regularly: Rinse twice daily with sterile saline solution; avoid peroxide, alcohol, or harsh soaps.
Pro tips: Don’t twist or fiddle with the jewellery Be gentle when brushing hair or wearing headphones to avoid snagging Avoid sleeping on the pierced side to reduce irritation and pressure Stay clear of swimming pools, hot tubs, and natural waters until fully healed Keep hair and hair products away from the piercing to prevent irritation
Our sterile saline solution (£8.99 at our counter) is essential for gentle cleaning and promoting smooth healing.
