Titanium has become the gold standard in modern piercing jewelry, especially for wholesale buyers. Its hypoallergenic properties, lightweight durability, and sleek aesthetic have made it a top choice for both piercers and retailers. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore why titanium (and stainless steel) dominates the body jewelry market, how to evaluate quality, and how your business can thrive through smart sourcing, trend alignment, and customer education.
1.Why Titanium and Stainless Steel Lead the Piercing Industry
For professional piercers and suppliers, materials matter just as much as design. Titanium offers unmatched biocompatibility, while surgical-grade stainless steel (316L/316LVM) provides a reliable, cost-effective option.
チタン (especially ASTM F136) is ideal for new piercings and sensitive skin.
ステンレス鋼 (316L) is affordable and durable, better for healed piercings.

These materials are both corrosion-resistant and compatible with common piercing jewelry finishes.
2. Safety & Certification Standards You Must Know
Professional buyers must understand certifications to ensure product safety and compliance:
ASTM F136 / F1295 – Implant-grade titanium
316L / 316LVM – Surgical-grade stainless steel
REACH / RoHS – EU chemical safety regulations
