PVD titanium and 316LVM surgical steel N/A Internal Lip, medusa, ears, and more! This labret post is 316LVM surgical steel, blackline, rose gold or gold PVD titanium! 316LVM surgical steel is a low carbon vacuum melted. The process sucks the nickel out of the steel. Nickel is one of the most common causes of metal allergies. This process cannot remove 100% of nickel. As a result, a small number of people react to it. We recommend our anodized, blackline, or untreated titanium body jewelry if this is a concern for you. PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. In other words, the colour deposits onto the metal as a vapour. As a result, the titanium looks black, gold, or rose gold. Blackline is a titanium carbide PVD coating. This coating is hypoallergenic. Yellow and rose gold coatings may cause reactions. As we mentioned at the beginning, the PREMIUM Large Bar Labret is a favourite for SO many piercings. Here are a few examples: philtrum (aka medusa) piercings, lobes, conch piercings, helix, lip piercings, tragus, and so many more than we can list!
