{"title":"Titanium Labret Studs","description":"\u003cp\u003eTitanium labret studs are flat back studs manufactured from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, the material most widely recommended by professional piercers for initial and long-term body jewellery wear. ASTM F136 titanium is biocompatible, nickel-free, and lightweight, making it the optimal choice for flat back studs worn in a range of piercing locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlat back labret studs consist of a straight post, a flat disc back, and a removable top. The flat disc back sits flush against the inner surface of the piercing, distributing pressure evenly and reducing irritation caused by standard ball-back posts. This design is particularly beneficial for cartilage piercings such as helix, conch, tragus, and flat, as well as labret, medusa, and nostril piercings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard gauges for titanium labret studs are 16G (1.2mm) and 18G (1.0mm). Post lengths range from 6mm to 12mm. Threadless (push-fit) tops allow different end designs to be changed on the same post without tools, making titanium flat back labret studs a versatile and practical choice for any healed piercing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is ASTM F136 titanium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eASTM F136 is a specific grade of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) defined by the ASTM International standard.
