Well, stainless steel is okay but not nearly as good as titanium or implant-grade surgical steel. When I had "standard" ear piercings back when I was about 9 I could never wear stainless steel because it really irritated my ears; now I can wear it in my stretches but I definitely prefer glass. But if you don't have a nickel allergy they should be fine for a fresh stretch/long-term wear. Metals do get pretty smelly though.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
