I've only ever worn steel and acrylic, and I've found some gorgeous bone and hematite tunnels and glass pinchers.
What other jewelry materials have y'all worn? What do you think of them?
And polymer clay, although isn't full of carcegens anymore, is very porous and isn't designed to be skin safe (not as body jewellery for sure). A lot of the dyes, glazes and varnishes people use are really dodgy too. Maybe if you wore through eyelets, but still; I'd be all 'meh'. Plus I think they look rather cheap and badly made irl. Acrylic is MUCH safer and nicer imo, and thats rubbish XD

Dichro glass is by far my favourite shiny though
Glass plugs are fine, I've had to break or even chip any. Hangies in small gauges can be fragile, but as long as you're careful...
