Surgical Steel aka Stainless Steel is one of the most popular body jewelry materials. .There are many different grades of Surgical Steel but only a few are body-friendly and suitable for body jewelry. The only body-friendly grades are 316L and 316LVM Surgical Steel. They do contain alloys, however, the alloys are trapped inside the material through special process so they cannot be released from the metal. Allergic reactions, when they occur, are rarely due to the Stainless Steel but from other factors (most commonly from mechanical irritation or harsh cleaning products). For most people this grade of steel works just fine.
316L Stainless Steel Care: Simply wash with antibacterial soap and warm water before inserting into your piercing. If the steel jewelry has gems on it DO NOT use alcohol or harsh chemicals to clean it.

Plated brass jewelry is not intended for sensitive skin. Most people switch to brass jewelry once their piercing is fully healed. Please don't use this on unhealed piercings as your skin is still healing. We are very straight forward with sharing the information of materials used to help you make an informed decision.
