Wood Fake-Plug out of Surgical Steel 316L with Walnut wood. Bar length:5mm. Cross-section:1,2mm. Length:50mm. With threaded coupling.

Surgical steel 316L, originally used in medical implants (e.g. artificial joints), has now become the most important material for piercings. It is characterized by its extremely shiny surface with practically no uneven traces. Surgical steel is also very scratch-resistant.However, it is not advisable to use surgical steel for first-time piercings since its nickel component as part of the alloy may become active when in contact with the sore salt of a newly pierced skin (we recommend to use Titanium G23 or Bioplast instead). Surgical steel can be worn without any trouble once the piercing hole is healed because Nickel cannot be absorbed by the body anymore. Allergies to surgical steel 316L are rare.

The walnut wood is rather rare and therefore expensive, but due to the dark appearance a good and environmentally friendly alternative to tropical wood. The walnut requires a lot of light which is why the tree is mainly grown on plantations. The tree is actually grown primarily for the nuts, so the noble walnut wood is just a by-product. The walnut wood convinces with the rare dark brown coloring and the beautiful look.
