Is there any special care needed for titanium piercings?

Answer by  eldridge (106)

Not really. Titanium is actually good for new piercings. It is very good for not developing infections unlike regular steel piercings.

There is no care necessary other than the recommended care for all new piercings: clean with some type of saline solution and try not to touch it too much.

Any new or infected piercing should be cleaned twice a day with warm salt water or saline solution. Oral piercings should be cleaned with non-alcoholic mouthwash twice a day plus after eating. Clean all new jewelry before inserting it into existing holes. Always wash hands before touching piercings.

Titanium is one of the "refractory" class of metals and is very non-reactive. This means that it is less irritating to your body than some other metals and less likely to produce an allergic reaction or promote infection. All piercings need careful attention while they heal to make sure they do not become infected. Your piercer can advise you.

Im pretty sure it it like the regular care. Use rubbing alchol. Or if it is pierced on your tongue use mouth wash. Those are the things i used when i got my piercings. I would make sure to ask the tattoo parlor though jus tin case i am wrong.

I'm pretty sure titanium piercings are pretty standard (they aren't terrible and infection prone like nickel piercings) so basically follow the instructions you were given and you'll be fine.
