Is there a difference between stainless steel and surgical steel with regard to body piercing jewelry?
The term "surgical steel" is for the most part a little bit of a misnomer. Body jewelry is classified as "implant grade steel", but in any event, there isn't a lot of difference between the two other than the fact that implant grade steel will never break down and corrode in the body as stainless can do over time. Rarely body jewelry is made of stainless steel, but plugs for ears are sometimes made of it.
