This is right from the APP website: "Gold (yellow or white) is appropriate for initial piercings if it is 14k or higher, nickel-free, and alloyed for biocompatibility. Gold higher than 18k is too soft for body jewelry because it can easily be scratched or nicked. Gold plated, gold-filled, or gold overlay/vermeil jewelry is not acceptable for fresh piercings. All of these involve coating a base metal with a layer of gold. The gold surface (which is very thin-measured in millionths of an inch) can wear or chip off."

Should you try gold nose ring or platinum if surgical steel keeps infecting your nose?
Your nose isnt infected because of the surgical steel. You're doing something wrong. Unless you mean that the jewelry is irritating your piercing. Either way, surgical steel is very high quality. Other metals have more nickel in them so if you have a metal allergy, thats a bad idea. You should try titanium. If you mean that the piercing is actually infected, go see a doctor to handle that.
Is surgical steel the same quality as titanium for naval piercings?
Surgical Steel is fine for surgery. It contains Nickel. Many people are allergic to nickel. Still, for as short a period of time as it will be used, it should not cause any problems. People are not allergic to Titanium. It is safer to leave in your body.
What is the best metal for ear piercing?
in the case of all piercings surgical stainless steel is the best. almost all legalized piercers would carry it. Titanium is better than "surgical" stainless (which is the exact same metal silverware is made from) as it is COMPLETELY biologically inert. They make medical implants from titanium for this reason. The reason piercers tend to use stainless instead of titanium jewelry is titanium is more expensive, which would raise the price of a piercing, and stainless works well.
Can you get your tongue pierced with a retainer instead of surgical steel so it's not as noticeable?
No. Retainers are made of plastic which is not suitable for initial piercing. Initial piercing should always be done with a titanium barbell.
