You're either allergic to something or you're not. A skin prick test
with cat dander, would give a reaction on you anywhere on your body. The
reason why you get a reaction when you rub your eyes but not when you're
in a room with a cat is that exposure is much more intense when you rub
it in your eyes, plus the surface is different. Mucous membranes have a
single layer of epithelium, skin has lots.
Being in a room with cats doesn't necessarily make your skin itch
either. A friend of mine gets an itch in her ears or throat, but not her
arms for example.

It could be two things:

1. you're allergic to Ti, but because of differences in skin texture,
you don't notice it everywhere.

2. It's the surface of Ti jewelry. From what I understand, Ti is never
as smooth as steel? Maybe Ti irritates your skin in your lobes because
the skin is more delicate there as, say, in a navel piercing. I'd have
to say this is more plausible because real Ti allergies are very rare,
and wearing jewelry for extended periods of time should be enough to
cause a reaction elsewhere. But you're weird, so why shouldn't you be
the rare allergic person :D.

You could get tested, that's about the only way we'll find out for sure.
Otherwise, we can just state that "different kinds of jewelry are not
tolerated equally well in every piercing" and be done with it.

I have spoken!

ok, so even a localized reaction is only going to be localized
because of different skin tissues. so kavin & i were equally wrong, right?
:D

seriously, though, it seems pretty odd that ONLY Ti would work in
some places & ONLY non-Ti would work in others. so i'm allergic to
everything, but some of my piercings don't mind as much as others? come
on.

Funny, I hear an echo . . .

My piercer always anodizes the Ti jewelry. It coats the surface with
Titanium oxide which does smooth the surface.

Mine is Kavin blue -- they call it that. Really.

I seemed to have misplaced my crystal ball, so I can't tell you what's
really wrong with you :P.

Or with the Ti jewelry. Does it react the same with stuff from different
manufacturers?

> you know you want another piece of this. mmfph.

Only if you don't erase my memory this time.

Once again, we have imparted knowledge.

i don't know; i haven't had the desire to purchase more Ti eyelets
to find out i can't wear them.

no promises.
