Fresh piercings start in implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) or 316L steel — never mystery metal. Jewelry length accounts for swelling; downsizing protects the fistula.
Butterfly backs trap hair, sweat, and bacteria — flat-back threadless posts heal cleaner on ears.
Gold upgrades come after the fistula stabilizes. Anodized titanium gives color without mystery plating.
When can I change my piercing jewelry?

Real heal documentation
Real piercing jewelry work from our studio — not stock photos. Starter length, swelling room, downsizing, and healed angles documented in Vegas.
Implant-grade titanium and threadless ends — what we stock for fresh piercings.
Fresh piercings start with longer posts — titanium studs sized for swelling, not fashion length.
Healed upgrade — shorter posts and decorative ends once the fistula is stable.
Downsize and upgrade consult — shorter posts and decorative ends once healed.
Starter length shown on flat and conch — downsizing too early is the most common jewelry mistake.
