Creates a striking, edgy look that stands out
Healing time can take longer due to cartilage thickness
Mainly uses straight barbells, though custom styles are possible
Heals in 6-12 months
Why Titanium at Keisha's
For all our industrial piercings, we use implant-grade titanium jewellery to ensure strength, comfort, and safety. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, making it perfect for this double piercing that spans across the upper ear cartilage. Unlike cheaper metals that can cause irritation or delay healing, our titanium barbells provide a secure fit and promote a smoother, faster healing process. This helps you rock your industrial piercing with confidence and style.
