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.
