    316LVM austenitic stainless steel can be found at many specialty
    metal suppliers, just look in your area or the internet. PTFE is
    basically teflon and can be found at many plastic supply houses
    again depending on your location. 

    You can solder the SS with silver or gold solders though for body
    art you would probably want to use a laser. 

    General rule with SS is the higher the number (over 302) the harder
    it will be to work, form, polish or what ever. 

    If you are doing body art that pierces at or near the eyes, mouth,
    genitals, or any mucus membrane, you will also want to consider an
    autoclave for your final cleaning, or taking your work to a medical
    lab that does sterilization for doctor or dentist with the packaging
    done immediately.
