Why Titanium at Keisha's
For all our vertical labret piercings, we use implant-grade titanium jewellery to ensure the highest safety and comfort standards. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-resistant, making it perfect for this unique lip piercing that passes vertically through the lower lip. Unlike cheaper metals that can cause irritation or prolong healing, our titanium curved barbells promote a cleaner, smoother healing process, helping your piercing heal beautifully and stay comfortable.
