Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 316L steel suitable for labret piercings?
316L surgical stainless steel offers excellent biocompatibility with its low carbon content and molybdenum addition, providing superior corrosion resistance. Its nickel content remains below EU directive limits, making it safe for most clients including those with mild sensitivities.
What's the advantage of internal threading for labrets?
Internal threading means the threads are inside the labret post rather than external. This design provides smoother insertion through tissue, reduces irritation during healing, and creates a more secure connection with decorative ends. It's the professional standard for quality body jewelry.
Can these labrets be used for fresh piercings?
Yes, our 316L surgical steel labrets are appropriate for initial piercings. The material meets all safety standards for fresh piercing jewelry. The flat back design and internal threading make them particularly suitable for new piercings, promoting proper healing.
What post lengths should I stock for my studio?
We recommend stocking 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm as standard lengths. 6mm works for most healed piercings, 8mm accommodates initial swelling, and 10mm serves thicker tissue areas. Special sizes (5mm, 12mm) can be ordered for specific client needs.
Are your labrets compatible with other brands' tops?
Our internally threaded labrets follow industry-standard threading (18g=0.9mm, 16g=1.0mm, 14g=1.2mm), making them compatible with most quality brands' threaded accessories. Threadless versions work with standard push-fit ends.
How should studios maintain 316L steel jewelry?
316L steel labrets can be autoclaved using standard cycles (121-134°C). Between uses, ultrasonic cleaning removes debris effectively. Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture accumulation. The material's durability allows repeated sterilization without degradation.
