Reviewing Invictus Body Jewelry

I would love to see more companies doing high quality, body safe, and well make titanium body jewelry. Unfortunately what I more often see is stuff like this- mislabeled materials, poor surface finish, incomplete polish, poorly set stones. The biggest bummer here is that they advertise like they are high quality and many piercers and clients believe them, and don't realize that these pieces cause so much issue for healing piercings. Stay safe, and shop smart!

@@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

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!
@brentmatheson4729
@brentmatheson4729 Год назад

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💕🥰

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!

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.)

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 :(

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.
@Lynn_Loheide
@Lynn_Loheide Год назад
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.

@jd3497 Год назад
​@@Lynn_Loheide Material standards / certs. and surface finish are two separate "quality" categories.

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.
