Safe Jewelry for New and Healed Piercings

Body jewelry sales and custom orders available at Bellevue Tattoo Emporium in Nashville, Tennessee.

You need jewelry that fits your piercing correctly, does not irritate your skin, and matches the stage of healing you are in. Bellevue Tattoo Emporium sells body jewelry directly in the studio for both new and healed piercings. Clients in Nashville and surrounding areas can browse options in person, get guidance on what type of jewelry is safe for their piercing, and have jewelry placed by a piercer if needed.


The studio carries LVM surgical implant-grade stainless steel and pure titanium jewelry for piercings that are still healing. These materials are hypoallergenic and reduce the risk of infection or allergic reactions. For healed piercings, the studio offers retail body jewelry options suitable for everyday wear. If you need a specific size, style, or material that is not in stock, the studio can place custom orders based on your preferences.

Choosing Jewelry Based on Healing Stage and Material

The piercer will ask how long you have had the piercing and whether it is fully healed. If the piercing is new or still healing, implant-grade materials are required to avoid irritation. If the piercing is healed, you have more options and can choose jewelry based on style, color, and design. The studio keeps a variety of sizes and gauges in stock, and the piercer can help you find jewelry that fits your anatomy and placement.


After you select your jewelry, the piercer can insert it for you to make sure it is placed correctly. You will notice the new jewelry right away, and if it is the right fit, it should feel comfortable and not cause any irritation or tightness. Jewelry that fits properly does not move around excessively and does not press into the skin on either side of the piercing.


Not all jewelry is safe for healing piercings. The studio provides guidance on what materials and styles are appropriate based on how long you have had the piercing and whether there are any signs of irritation or infection. Changing jewelry too early or using low-quality materials can cause setbacks in healing, so the piercer will recommend waiting if the piercing is not ready for a change.

Questions About Jewelry Safety and Sizing

Most people want to know when they can change their jewelry, what materials are safe, and whether they can wear their own jewelry after healing. These are the questions that come up most often when clients visit the Nashville studio for body jewelry.

What is the difference between implant-grade and retail jewelry?
Implant-grade jewelry is made from materials that are safe for healing piercings and less likely to cause irritation. Retail jewelry is designed for healed piercings and may include materials or finishes that are not suitable for new piercings.
When can I change the jewelry in a new piercing?
You should wait until the piercing is fully healed before changing the jewelry. The piercer can assess your piercing and let you know if it is ready for a change based on how it looks and feels.
Can I order jewelry in a specific size or color?
Yes. The studio can place custom orders for body jewelry based on your size, style, and material preferences. Custom orders may take a few weeks to arrive depending on availability.
What if the jewelry I bought does not fit?
The piercer will measure your piercing before recommending a size. If the jewelry does not fit correctly after you try it, the studio can help you find a better size or adjust the order.
Do you sell jewelry for stretched ears?
The studio carries some options for stretched piercings, and custom orders can be placed for specific gauges or styles. Availability depends on the size and type of jewelry you need.
