Why are our piercing's and jewelry so expensive?All of our piercing jewelry is of the highest quality. All of our Stainless and Titanium jewelry is Implant Grade. There are vast differences between “surgical steel” and “implant grade surgical steel”. The term “surgical steel” was coined by the cookware industry to market pots, pans and tableware. There are no standards behind what constitutes “surgical steel” and it does NOT make for appropriate piercing jewelry. However, the term “Implant Grade” is regulated by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Only 316L and 316LVM steel can be called implant grade. All of the jewelry sell or use in piercing's is 316LVM. Anything less than implant grade can cause prolonged healing, irritation, and even metal reactions in a piercing.
Appropriate 316LVM jewelry does cost us more, so it is a little more expensive than what you might find in a mall or anywhere else that sells “surgical steel” body jewelry.
We feel that our clients deserve the best, so we go above and beyond to ensure that you will be satisfied with your visit.
