Here's a pair of  half inch long stainless steel, surgical steel fake plugs, with each plug-thing adorned with the Captain America symbol! These babies are.....fake plugs. You wear them like regular earrings since they have regularly sized posts. This means they will NOT stretch the pierced holes in your earlobes to the size of.......manholes. Yes, Captain America is hip. Yes, he has a nose piercing and listens to Elbow. Let me specify that this is Cap from Earth 714. Anyway, let's go over some subcutaneously placed, surgical steel body jewelry specifics:


316 Stainless Steel is the preferred steel where bio-compatibility is required (such as body implants and piercings). The "L" means that the carbon content of the alloy is below 0.03%, which reduces the sensitization effect. 316 steel has .08 Max carbon content while 316L has a .03 Max carbon content. Stainless steel does not contain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Though it will not oxidize or turn black, it is still not "stain-proof.
