Absolutely OBSESSED with this gorgeous clicker we got for my client's healed daith! It's definitely going to be the focal point of this curation we've been working on. 💫 Curation consultations are free! Come start your collection with me - I'd love to do a mermaid-themed setup or some dark witchy stuff, if anyone is interested! I currently have a collection of cute spring pieces in stock for those of you ready for winter to finally stop. 😅

I removed this jewelry from a client's rook this morning. She had been pierced with this piece several months ago and could not remove it on her own. The material used to make this jewelry is not body safe, not intended for long-term wear, and not appropriate for a fresh piercing.
In this instance, low-quality metals had been plated with a shiny coating which flaked off (these flakes can cause injury as well as potentially get into the fistula of a healed piercing - or open wound of a fresh piercing - causing further complications). The metals underneath then oxidized. Oxidization of brass occurs because it is primarily made of of copper and zinc and when copper reacts with moisture, sweat or natural acids on the skin, it can form copper salts. These salts have a greenish color, which can transfer to skin. The client's irritated skin was then oozing discharge, which collected on the decorative part of the jewelry, creating a place for bacteria to proliferate. On top of that, this jewelry is externally threaded, meaning the end of the bar has threads like a screw which fit into a hole in the bead to secure it. External threads can cause injury to tissue, as well as harbour bacteria.
PROTECT YOURSELF! DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Ask your piercer what their jewelry is made of, ask to see certificates that confirm the composition and origin of metals used. ASTM F136 or the G23 European equivalent for implant-grade titanium or surgical steel is ideal. Certificates should have a number you can use to verify validity with the issuing authority. You can visit safepiercing.org to learn more about current safety standards within the piercing industry. (Lynn Loheide also has a great blog where you can find all sorts of information on how to find a good piercer, how to recognize problems with piercings before they become disasters, and more!)
Of course, you are also welcome to contact me directly to ask questions.
Stay safe out there!
