Take it from us, there is awide variety of routes to go down when it comes to body modification. People tend to notice the shape, size, and color of piercings, but oftentimes a big factor in both the impression a piece of body jewelry makes is the piercing material itself, which also influences how the wearer literally feels when wearing a piece.
Steel Body Jewelry
Steel body piercings are popular for their versatility and ease of use. They are easy to clean and are not costly.
For people with allergies, steel can be a good option, as it is considered “hypoallergenic”, meaning it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. In steel, this is because of its low nickel count.
Glass Body Jewelry
A glass piercing has many benefits, including a smooth surface that makes for easy healing and cleaning. If you have sensitive skin, the smooth surface of glass can make for a soothing piece of body jewelry.
Of course, glass is fragile, so be wary of where you put a glass piercing, as you do not want to break a glass piercing while wearing it. That being said, most glass piercings are built to be durable, so you should be fine wearing a glass piercing in an area that is relatively well-protected.
