Advantages

Body jewelry like ear plugs, tunnels, ear gauges, tapers, etc are available in BodFx in stainless steel. A good reason why people use stainless steel is because it does not cause allergic reactions. Allergies because of chemical reactions are avoided with this. This can also be sterilized using an autoclave. When using stainless steel jewelry it needs to be checked for compatibility with body usage. When compared to other metals, steel jewelry is durable and has a long life term. Its life term is said to be longer than gold and silver’s life term. It is one of the most versatile forms of jewelry as it can be used for different occasions and body types. Another reason why people prefer steel is that it is environmentally friendly too. It does not have much wastage when compared to other metals and does not easily corrode too.

Disadvantages

Large pieces of stainless steel body jewelry can pose certain amount of risk. It might not be able ‘to breathe’ in the body part it is pierced into and this might cause allergic reactions as it cuts off the blood circulation in the body. Small pieces are however safer for use. When used in extremely cold countries, this might also reduce the blood circulation and might pose hazards to the body. Stainless steel jewelry also tends to be heavy and might stretch the body’s skin. Also it is difficult to alter or resize steel jewelry. So once purchased, it is for good.
