It is recommended that solid 14-karat gold or implant-grade metals be used for piercings. By using these metals, you can prevent infections, exposure to toxins, allergic reactions, jewelry degradation, and other issues.

Those metals approved by ASTM International or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are suitable for implantation. Anatometal is a reputable brand you should ask your piercing studio about.

• Titanium implant grade is lightweight, doesn’t corrode when exposed repeatedly to bodily fluids, and doesn’t contain nickel, an allergen for some people. Pieces that comply with ASTM-F136 or ISO 5832-3 are best.
• Another safe option is to use implant-grade stainless steel. Despite having nickel, the protective layer on the metal serves as a barrier between your body and the nickel. You should look for ASTM-F138 or ISO-5832-1-certified pieces.
• A solid 14-karat gold ring made of yellow, white, or rose gold that is nickel- and cadmium-free will also work.

Clit Piercing Prices

Piercings themselves usually cost $50 to $150, and jewelry usually costs $50 or more. The typical cost of a piercing with basic titanium jewelry is $250 at Thompson.

Thompson recommends doing the research before getting any sort of clit piercing, visiting different studios, talking to piercers, and doing online research to ensure that you’re working with a trustworthy piercer. There is a large number of piercers who do genital piercings without having any training, and they are harming their clients. Getting an expert’s opinion is important.

Clit Piercing Facts

1. Despite having the anatomy for something, there are still other considerations that need to be taken into account.

A VCH might be right for you, but if you have a hypersensitive clitoris, then it would not be the best choice. A frank discussion with a qualified piercer is important, in addition to your anatomical suitability!
