Everything piercing studios most often ask wholesalers in 2026—in one place. From choosing titanium vs. steel and selecting core stock to cooperation terms, delivery, and returns. This post is updated regularly—if you have a question that isn’t covered here, write it in the comments or email us.
1. Materials—what do you recommend and why?
Question: What is the difference between titanium and surgical steel? Is it really worth paying extra for Grade 23 titanium?
Answer: ASTM F-136 Grade 23 titanium (implant grade) contains less than 0.05% nickel—meaning practically no allergic reactions in the nose, navel, mouth, or cartilage. 316L steel contains 10–14% nickel, resulting in a 3–10× higher rate of irritation and complaints in sensitive areas. In 2026, most professional studios use titanium for 90–100% of fresh jewelry and all piercings except earlobes. The additional cost of PLN 4–12 per piece at wholesale pays for itself through fewer returning customers due to problems and better reviews.

Question: Do you offer titanium with a black coating? What quality is the PVD?
Answer: Yes—we offer black PVD / DLC exclusively on Grade 23 titanium (coating thickness: 0.5–1 µm, corrosion-tested). Cheap PVD on steel wears off quickly and exposes nickel, which is why we do not stock it. Black PVD on titanium lasts 1–3 years of intensive use without chipping.
2. Product selection—how do you get started without being flooded with dead stock?
Question: How much jewelry should a new studio order to get started?
Answer: For one workstation and 15–35 piercings per week, PLN 18,000–35,000 is enough for core jewelry (Grade 23 titanium). The key is to focus on 10–15 bestsellers in larger quantities (15–30 pieces each), rather than buying “a little bit of everything.” Ready-made opening order list: Starter set for a new piercing studio—2026 shopping list
Question: What should always be in stock (core stock)?
Answer: The basic core consists of models that sell at least 2–4 pieces per month per workstation: 6–8 mm nostril clickers, 6–8 mm flat-back helix jewelry + black/clear tops, 10–12 mm navel bananas, and 6–8 mm lip labrets.

Question: How can you avoid dead stock?
Answer: Follow a rotation rule: if a model has not sold within 90 days, discount it or return it. Allocate 70–80% of your budget to 10–15 bestsellers and a maximum of 10% to new products being tested.

3. B2B cooperation—terms, minimum orders, discounts
Question: What is the minimum order and what discounts do you offer?
Answer: Minimum first order: PLN 8,000–12,000 net for new customers. No minimum for subsequent orders. Progressive discounts: 3–12% on monthly turnover of PLN 20,000–100,000. Free shipping from PLN 6,000–10,000, depending on the region.
Question: Do you offer deferred payments / invoices with a payment term?
Answer: Yes—after 2–3 regular orders and a positive verification, we offer 7–21 days of deferred payment, up to PLN 30,000 per month. New customers pay in advance or cash on delivery.
Question: Can I return products / dead stock?
Answer: Yes—returns are accepted within 30–60 days of purchase (unopened bulk packaging, with no signs of use). After 60 days, products can be discounted by 30–50% or exchanged for other models. Details are set out in the cooperation terms.
4. Delivery and logistics—times, costs, tracking
Question: How quickly do you ship, and how much does it cost?
Answer: Shipping via InPost / DPD / GLS takes 24–48 hours after payment is credited (orders placed by 2:00 p.m. are shipped the same day). Cost: PLN 0 for orders from PLN 6,000–10,000 net, depending on the region; below that, PLN 12–25. Orders above PLN 20,000 include a free pallet.
Question: Do you provide a shipment tracking number?
Answer: Yes—a tracking link is sent automatically by SMS and email immediately after dispatch.
Question: What if the package arrives damaged?
Answer: Check the package upon delivery in the courier’s presence. If anything is missing or damaged, prepare a damage report, take photos, and submit a claim within 24 hours. We will replace the products or refund your money within 7 days.
