This is amazing! I would love a rapid-fire video where you go through several brands and share the pros and cons of each in addition to these in-depth reviews. It would also be really cool to hear your thoughts on smaller indie brands! Thank you for sharing this!
I'd love to hear about Maria Tash. I was under the impression they were safe but I heard they no longer are & I do have a piece I was gifted so I'd love to know more about them safety wise :)
I’d like to see Maria Tash as well! I have three pieces from them and am planning on getting a few more. I’ve also heard similar things, and I don’t like that they don’t really stand by their products.
@@nickyodujirin i think the "tash rook" is supposed to be like an invisible rook, it's actually the top part of the conch that is pierced vertically and the other end comes out right under the rook area. and you're supposed to wear some dangly jewelry for the illusion to work
Lynn, I can’t thank you enough for such a well rounded, informative, and non-biased review! It has helped me realize that as consumers we should be a little more wary of the products we put in our body. I look forward to more reviews like this in the future!
Thank you so much for this video Lynn! Before this I truly thought that invictus was just as good as other brands because of the word "titanium" now I see that's not the case. I've retired some piercings because I thought they just weren't ever healing even with "good" jewelry but it was invictus... Also I really appreciated the up close pictures too! That mirror shine on the anatometal bars was awesome to look at!
Great video. I asked my piercer about Invictus and she just told me right out not to buy them. Her concern was the polish quality. This goes under the 'you get what you pay for' heading. I mostly buy Neometal and Anatometal.
Could you do a video on brands you would recommend other than ananometal? Maybe cheaper ones? On the site I get my jewelry from there are these brands marked as premium brands: neometal, Invictus, Le Roi, SM316
I second this! I get all my jewelry from UBJ and ive gotten plugs from arctic buffalo before. It seems like at least for UBJ they have their fair share of cheaper quality jewelry but they sell a lot of decent things well. I feel like body art forms should also be added to that list
Just came across your channel, and I loved this video!!! 🥰I think plenty of mod enthusiasts and piercers have said why it's important to get good body jewelry, but very few bring the macro shots to SHOW WHY! I think it's also the first time I've heard anyone explain the verification process, and how easily manufacturing of documents is😮💨. I recently switched over to gold jewelry in my piercings, so I've become more invested in the jewelry making, settings and gemstone world. I'm realizing most consumers of that jewelry aren't well informed, and we should be, when it's going on open wounds to heal around. More of this awesome content, please!! Im subbing for sure💕🥰
This has to be one of my favourite videos. Very informative and honest and i love the quality of those photos. I am looking into good quality jewelry companies and where to buy from, so reviews like this are very helpful :))
I'd love to hear more about People's Body Jewelry. I keep seeing them on Instagram, and even from creators I trust, but I just don't really see anyone talking about them.
9:59 that's sales one for you they also got rid of all of the 18 gauge jewelry and 14 gauge jewelry in lieu of 16 gauge jewelry because you can just wear 16 in anything you can wear 18 gauge or 14 gauge. At least that's how sales one international sees it
Also they have convinced the bunch of lower quality younger piercers that it is acceptable to pierce with push pin libraries and snap rings. Even though they fall out and the customers get very upset when they're piercing goes closed because they were pierced with trash fashion jewelry
absolutely loved this thank you, i literally was JUST gonna buy from them. notes taken 📝 that's crazy how unfinished it is. the little grooves were driving me crazy looking at the pierces. how do you feel about BodyCandy ? im a die hard fan of them but maybe they aren't as good since i'm no pro when inspecting jewelry.
Actually thank you so much because those are the best looking ones on the site I'm getting my jewelry from that are still affordable but I haven't seen any professional opinions on it yet. I was just about to look for new jewelry so that's is perfect timing
Hi Lynn, loved seeing this comparison. As someone who lives in a small town with MANY MANY people who want pretty piercings but cannot afford higher end jewelry, can barely afford the likes of Invictus. How do you provide for those people as well? I am also canadian and most of these companies are american and conversion/shipping/hst is INSANE. I'm also mostly hoping for advice with ends, I know some really good quality and low cost posts that are accessible here. Would love any advice!
There are some new Canadian companies popping up that are promising! I also believe some international studios get on orders together to lower shipping/hst costs and reduce prices that way!
Thank you! This video was very informative. It seems like I can wear anything in my ears, but had issues with my nipples until I put Anatometal rings in years ago. Now I know why!
@@nickyodujirin right??? Someone needs to let everyone know that Lulu’s is not as great as they try to make themselves out to be. The way they portray themselves online is soooo misleading to what quality and good piercing ethics are 😒
Hi lynn! Can you please make a video about "Tawapa"? I wanted to buy a clicker for my daith but then I saw that it's made from sterling silver so I'm not sure if it's ok or not:(
Can you do a video on kaos soft wear silicone plugs and tunnels, you recommended that I got my eyelets from there a while ago but I haven’t heard anybody talk in depth about it
When I first got my piercings done (conch, two helix and a forward helix) they all had invictus in them. If it wasn't for the piercer using too short a bar on my forward helix, knowingly, and it imbedding in my ear I wouldn't have known the invictus pieces were trash. The guy who did the pircings said the reason my two helix and conch weren't healing, over a years time none had come close to healing, because I healed slowly - it was just me. But when he kept saying my forward helix was all fine, the swelling would go down, ignoring how it looked like Dumbo's ears in just two days...well I went elsewhere. The forward helix was imbedded and the bar far too short...he'd done it knowing it was too short and just wanted the money. But also the other ones wouldn't heal up because the invictus pieces were flaking into the holes and causing irritation and keeping them from healing. I lost both helix piercings and the forward helix (for an obvious reason). The conch healed up really fast and well though. The invictus was black and flaking and just trash. Wasted money and lied to by the piercer who did it all. The new place carries the good things (neometal, tawapa, buddah, body visions LA, and other brands.)
Really nice video! I think it would be nice to also know the price difference for the final customer, so they can also understand and choose according to their budget :)
Thank you! I love getting to know what jewelry is good and not god to buy. Id love your opinions on Tether jewelry brand, as i was gifted a septum ring from them and love the look but want to know if its safe to wear :)
I'd like to second the absolute necessity of ensuring the metal is industry standard, body safe material. I myself have a nickel allergy and if I got some potentially unsafe metal in a piercing there's no telling how dangerous it could be for people like me! Even just having nickel on the surface of my skin for an hour or so causes these huge breakouts of hives, so I would be terrified about having it inside a piercing.
okay, body art forms is a good place to order wholesale brands online for yourself BUT they also sell shady brands (such as invictus and metal mafia and maria tash) so you really need to be careful about what youre getting. thankfully, you can filter by brand so you can only see their neometal or gorilla glass stuff. definitely double check the brand before ordering. hope this helped :)
Guess I’m sticking with NeoMetal and Anatometal. Even if that means I have to drive 1-2 hours to get to a quality shop (or shop online direct from a high-quality shop).
Great video! Would love to see one about Tremun - they seem to look super nice without magnification and say that they just got a legit mil certificate. Would love to hear your thoughts 🖤
Loved seeing this Lynn! You always have the best info! My mentor uses Invictus and I would like to share this with him but I'm lowkey scared to approach him like this as an apprentice lol. I will anyways bc it's good info to know
Unfortunately if you are being trained using invictus I would bet money you aren’t being given a proper apprenticeship. If your mentor either doesn’t know enough to use safe jewelry or doesn’t care, what else does he not know/not care about in teaching you?
I bought a clicker and set of barbells from a piercer with an online store who sold a bunch of their stuff. I didn’t realize it was Invictus until after, and when I emailed her concerned about the quality, she told me that she did know about the bad reviews they have, but she specifically chose pieces she knew and evaluated to be safe. It’s such a shame, because I can even see with my naked eye the difference in the barbell surface between her Invictus barbells and my Neometal barbells. The worst part is that online, she portrays herself as a piercer who is trying to always learn. I don’t really think I believe her on that because of her actions selling all this Invictus. And now I have a $250 “solid gold” clicker burning a hole in my wallet :(
@@alexandrarunnels4854 oh yep. I know who you talking about. I was right. She doesn't post in her website what brand is it. I think she said she doesn't have too. Also her prices for the jewelry is almost double than what it should be.
There's some wild zealotry going on in the piercing jewelry world over the last few years. We managed with externally threaded steel for decades without issue but now it's all BVLA and Jinupurr or you're a peasant who doesn't respect their own body.
ACK! where was this video when i bought a clicker from them for my daith??? luckily it isnt in yet and now itll never be lol. thanks so much for the info tho!! another great vid :)
Also, don’t they own Metal Mafia? Even if they made quality jewelry, the fact that they also have a straight up horrible brand shows they don’t care about their customers at all, they just want to make money.
*Quietly sits here with my gold Invictus, trying to figure out how much longer I have to heal them before I can get them out now..* I Was taken in by the shiny sparkles!
What are the published standard, if any? Who established these standards based on standard manufacturing processes? Those are marks from a turning tool, not a milling cutter. These items are manufactured in mass to a price point, not by a company that makes medical equipment. Polishing on small items like these is probably via tumblers and various abrasive media. Considering how much of this is made overseas, I'd wonder how much is contaminated by biological agents from poor handling and cleaning.
You can see standards for Body jewelry at safepiercing.org set by the association of professional piercers! Largely we follow ASTM and ISO standards for implantation in the body, and you can learn more about that at ASTM.org. Invictus has declined to reach out for comment so I’m actually not 100% if these marks would be from their laser welding process, turning process, milling for the pin, or part of their polishing process. I went with milling as a generalized point but im tempted to do some videos where we can really go indepth into the machining process of making body jewelry. :) My best guess would be tumblers and just abrasives. I know a lot of higher quality companies do hand polishing along side that and wow the difference it makes. The polish difference under magnification on these pieces blew me away tbh.
@@Lynn_Loheide Material standards / certs. and surface finish are two separate "quality" categories. You can start with the best material and still produce a poor product through flawed production techniques, cleaning, finishing or failure to do an adequate inspection. Tough to police a product made overseas.
Thanks, this is really helpful. I got my daith pierced with an Invictus 14k gold "hinged segment ring" (a clicker really, I didn't know), and it just wouldn't heal so I had to swap the jewellery. The hinged parts weren't smooth and were causing some serious irritation!
I wish I'd had this before I got my piercings done, it would've saved me 7 months of suffering and anxiety trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for my ear piercings. The shops around me are ONLY using titanium for new piercings, and a lot of them are ONLY using Invictus titanium. I even brought up my concerns and insisted on high-quality steel (which I have never had a problem with, no nickel allergies here), and was only told then that they don't even carry steel jewelry anymore-- ironic, considering their business has "steel" right in the name. I should've walked out then and there, but the piercer convinced me that titanium was objectively better. Fast forward to today and I've had to abandon 4 out of 6 piercings I had done last summer because they wouldn't heal at all, and the remaining two lobe piercings are just now almost fully healed only because I swapped my jewelry 3 months ago.
This makes me really uncomfortable because my piercer uses invictus and I have healing piercings with invictus jewelry in rn 🥲 maybe that’s why they haven’t healed well :’(
I'm ready for a whole series on ALL the brands.
Honestly- I think I wanna do that !

@@elliearr96 They also pierce at the very rare 19g so that no other jewelry works with it 💀
