    Body jewelry can be a tricky thing for those not in the field.  Rule
    number one: any cheap jewelry is not acceptable.  If jewelry is made
    poorly it can cause bad reactions in the body.  Certain materials
    such as silver, or anything painted or plated is not good.  Gold
    should be 18k.  Stainless steel should be made of either 316LVM
    ASTMF-138 or 316L for healed piercings.  "Surgical" stainless doesn't
    say anything about what kind of metal it is.  All parts of the
    jewelry should be mirror polished with no nicks, scratches, or bumps.
     Quality body jewelry is not cheap, but if you care about your
    customers it's worth it.  And just because a company claims that it
    makes it's jewelry from 316LVM doesn't mean it's of good quality. You
    can find out more at www.safe-piercing.org and I believe that they
    have a few names of companies in their member listings.
