I have a septum piercing and I want to make my own eccentric jewelry for itMy local Joe-Anne\'s has aluminum jewelry wire in my gaugeIs this a bad material for a young piercing (6 weeks old) and will it cause irritation?Talk to your piercer on this oneMost people don\'t have much trouble with aluminum, but piercings can be sensitiveIt\'ll also depend on you-some people can wear anything, others can only wear the most nonallergenic metalsPersonally, I wouldn\'t use aluminum (at least for the bit that actually goes through the hole) because it\'s so softI\'d constantly be worrying about it getting bent out of shape.Other related question
