Body jewellery is of a  quality we can guarantee. We trust it is safe. We recommend that you check your body piercing jewellery is of a medical standard.  It is very easy to get infections from cheaper metals. Customers should be careful not to buy the absolute cheapest body jewellery, especially if they can not trust  the supplier or material the body piercing  jewellery is made from. We sell medical grade surgical steel and titanium. Keeping the same supplier for over twenty years, helps us maintain our quality.

Business Integrity 

Our suppliers pay more than the average wage in their country. They also allow staff good working conditions including weekends off and holiday periods. There is no child labour.  I  feel proud, I sell a product I can trust. As a customer, you also need to go with a company you can trust. You can put your health at risk using cheap body jewellery, made of unknown metals.

Guaranteed standard

Surgical steel that we can guarantee is a surgical implant grade 316L .  Surgical steel of this grade is easy to clean, is resistant to corrosion and it bonds nickel with an alloy, so it won’t be absorbed into the bloodstream in quantities capable of causing a reaction.

Our titanium G23 is grade 6AL-4V-ELI and is compliant with the nickel directive introduced by European countries in 2001. It is bio compatible and has been used for medical implants since the 1950’s. Titanium is half the weight of steel and twice as strong. It can come in anodised colours or just  high polished.

Gauges

Body Piercing jewellery NZ  is measured by gauge. This is the thickness of the wire.

Tips

14 gauge {1.6 mm} is the size for  tongue, belly button or nipple piercings.

16 Gauge {1.2 mm} is the size for eyebrow and lip piercings. Although some people do have a 14 gauge lip piercing, a smaller gauge is more popular.

Ball sizes  are a matter of personal taste but as a general rule 2.5-4 mm balls are popular for the lip and eyebrow.  5-6 mm balls are popular for the tongue and top of the navel bar.
