Frequently Asked Questions
Is 316L steel suitable for fresh nipple piercings?
Yes, 316L surgical stainless steel is considered safe for initial piercings. Its low nickel content (below EU directive limits) and corrosion resistance make it a popular choice for fresh piercings, though some clients may prefer titanium for optimal biocompatibility.
What's the difference between 316L steel and titanium for nipple jewelry?
While both materials are suitable for body jewelry, titanium (ASTM F136) is lighter, completely nickel-free, and considered the gold standard for sensitive clients. 316L steel offers excellent quality at a more affordable price point, making it ideal for budget-conscious clients without metal sensitivities.
What sizes are available in your nipple barbell collection?
Our 316L nipple barbells are available in 14g (1.6mm) and 12g (2mm) thicknesses, with lengths ranging from 12mm to 20mm. Ball sizes include 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm options to accommodate various anatomy and preferences.
Can these be autoclaved?
Absolutely. 316L surgical steel is autoclave-safe and can withstand repeated sterilization cycles without degradation. We recommend following standard autoclave protocols for body jewelry before client use.
Do you offer custom or branded nipple jewelry?
Yes, we provide custom jewelry solutions and branded packaging options for larger orders. Contact our B2B team to discuss minimum quantities and customization possibilities for your studio's specific needs.
What's your return policy for wholesale nipple jewelry?
We accept returns of unopened, unused items in original packaging within 7 working days of delivery. Due to hygiene requirements, opened jewelry cannot be returned. A €35 handling fee applies to returns not due to our error.
