Aron,

    One thing you should be aware of is that the term 'stainless steel'
    is often misused to cover two types of steel. There is 'Stainless
    steel' and 'Rustless Steel' which are both often just referred to as
    'stainless'. The difference is that some 'Stainless' steels will rust
    but are resistant to staining from chemicals etc. while 'rustless'
    steels may stain but will not rust..... 316L grade stainless is the
    type normally used for body jewellery and this is what you should
    look for. 

Best wishes,
Ian
