Why Titanium at Keisha's
For all our snug piercings, we use implant-grade titanium jewellery to ensure safety and comfort in this unique inner ear cartilage piercing. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for the snug’s sensitive area. Unlike cheaper metals that can cause irritation or delay healing, our titanium curved barbells and studs support a cleaner, faster healing process, helping your piercing heal smoothly and comfortably.
Aftercare
Clean regularly: Rinse twice daily with sterile saline solution; avoid peroxide, alcohol, or harsh soaps.
Pro tips: Avoid twisting or playing with the jewellery Be gentle when brushing your hair or wearing headphones to prevent snagging Avoid sleeping on the pierced side to minimise irritation and pressure Stay away from swimming pools, hot tubs, and natural waters until fully healed Keep hair and hair products away from the piercing to reduce irritation
Our sterile saline solution (£8.99 at our counter) is essential for gentle cleaning and promoting smooth healing.
