Oh gosh no, Hypoallergenic is a phrase that has been misused by everyone from toilet paper companies to makeup manufacturers. It was intended to imply that the product is considered safe for it's intended use and that it should not cause any adverse reaction to the body. This implication is more often than not incorrect when it comes to earrings and nickle. Of the shelf earrings from just about any store will contain nickle in the post or hook section that actually runs through the piercing as well as the butterfly backing that holds it in place. Generally 303 or 304 stainless steel still contains nickle, which are the metal types used most often in earring studs and posts. For a material to be nickle free it is suppose to be clearly marked "nickle free" and the certification proving it. Professional Body Piercing Studios carry a wide range of certified nickle free earrings in various designs to choose from.
