Is there a better material for earring protective sleeves used against nickel allergies?

Anyone with nickel allergies? Navel piercing might reject?

  • I'm allergic to nickel and it usually really irritates my ears (lobes) if I wear it for even a day. It gets red, itchy, and just literally nasty. I'm getting my navel done tomorrow and went out of my way to buy my own jewelry (titanium - it's blue?) from the shop that did my tattoo. Since it is blue, do you think it will irritate it? Titanium is suppose to be nickel free but sometimes in the process of making it colorful, it can be contaminated with nickel in small amounts. They had no just silver titanium and I had already visited 6 shops so I bought it. Any experiences or advice?

  • Answer:

    It might be o-kay. I have a nickel allergy. I've found that 10 - 18 carat gold errings work fine. More pure , less nickel.

If you can't use it, try stainless steal. That's what my ear rings are made of. No problems.
