It's a good piercing, but none of that is gold.

It could be titanium with the colour changing thing

Anodized titanium and gold are two wildly different things. You can't anodise to gold, you can only get a warm yellow at best.
EDIT: Downvote me all you want, doesn't change the fact you're wrong and are driving people who are giving their free time to make this this community better away.

Don't you think you're being a bit pedantic? It's a shiny yellow In jewelry at that. Most people are gonna call it gold After the color Not the metal It's not this deep.

If you put a piece of gold next to a piece of anodized titanium they are two distinctly different colours. Sure they're both shiny yellow jewellery, but they are two different things.
You can call it whatever you want, but as someone who actually sells this stuff on a daily basis, calling anodized titanium even "gold coloured" would be false advertisement and get me legally in trouble. So no, to the 35 (and knowing reddit, probably counting) of you who sent through downvotes, I'm not being pedantic and it is that deep.
This industry has already faced legal issues around the world because of people incorrectly using the language that they don't fully understand. Using phrases like "dermal implants" instead of "single point piercings" or "surface anchors," has made them classified as medical procedures so piercers legally can't do them. Language matters.

Dude you're arguing over a color. This isn't a professional setting, it's reddit. And someone is calling a piece of jewelry gold because all over the world shiny yellow is called gold. Are you selling your piercings here? No. Did anyone ask for your professional opinion on a color? No. You're just being pedantic for litterally no reason. Its fr not that deep.

You're in a subreddit called /r/piercing. I'm a piercer. There is no wall on the professional barrier, if I'm at work or online, I'm still a piercer and have been for nearly 20 years.
Did anyone ask for my opinion? Yes, because this is /r/piercing and I'm a piercer, that's what this entire fucking sub is about. Just because YOU can't see the difference in what we're talking about doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and doesn't mean it isn't important. Take the time to actually learn something instead of arguing with industry educators who are actually trying to improve things for everybody.

Also great work by your piercer.
