Why Titanium at Keisha's
For all our tragus piercings, we use implant-grade titanium jewellery to ensure both safety and comfort. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for this small, delicate part of the ear. Unlike lower-quality metals that can cause irritation or prolonged healing, our titanium studs and labrets support a smoother, faster healing process, so you can enjoy your piercing with minimal fuss and maximum style.
Aftercare
Clean regularly: Rinse twice daily with sterile saline solution; avoid using peroxide, alcohol, or harsh soaps.
Pro tips: Don’t twist or fiddle with the jewellery. Be careful when using headphones, earbuds, or brushing your hair Avoid sleeping on the pierced side to reduce irritation and pressure Stay away from swimming pools, hot tubs, and natural waters until fully healed Keep hair, skincare, and hair products away from the piercing area
Our sterile saline solution (£8.99 at our counter) is ideal for gentle cleaning and encouraging smooth, healthy healing.
