Wood Body Jewelry
http://woodbodyjewelry.safeshopper.com/Amazing jewelry, beautiful stuff at very reasonable prices. Shipping is free (I believe) and there are many payment methods offered. Shipping is quick and the staff are all very friendly and cooperative. Their jewelry styles and types are pretty diverse and they also do custom orders. They don't have stock so if you're ordering something keep in mind it may take a couple of weeks for your order to be actually made and shipped.
Steelwerks
http://www.steelwerksjewelry.comGreat Canadian (Montreal) based company. This site specializes in custom orders. Everything from a custom made wedding ring to a special order jeweled butt plug. Yes you'll find it all! Photographer / webmaster Jerome Abramovitch, this is not only a beautiful website but a great company to order from. Shipping is fast and the jewelry is beautiful!
Glasswear Studios
http://www.glasswearstudios.com/Amazing custom pieces, several different types of materials, the site is mapped out really well and overall the prices are great. Shipping is generally fast, and they accept several different payment methods.
Industrial Strength
http://www.industrialstrengthjewelry.comIndustrial Strength is one of the leading jewelry manufacturers in the U.S. They offer a very large variety of body jewelry at reasonable prices, especially for jewelry of this grade. This is the wholesale site, but there are tons of shops that carry Industrial Strength that are listed on the site for customers and info for shop owners and employees to make an order. Shipping is typically very fast, the service is great and the company is constantly having sales.

One Stop Freak Shop
http://www.onestopfreakshop.com/One Stop Freak Shop (and its owner, Wil) made my dreams come true this year with a pair of amazing custom plugs. I had found a pair of dangly traditional pierced earrings that I really wanted to wear... and he turned them into a pair of plugs for my half-inch lobes! The possibilities for custom wood plugs are endless, and One Stop Freak Shop is not afraid to push the boundaries.

Industrial Strength
http://www.industrialstrengthjewelry.comHuge selection, outstanding quality, you can’t go wrong with Industrial Strength. Not a lot of customization options here, as they cater to mostly business, but you’ll be hard pressed to find finer quality. Not to mention their swanky shirts… heh.

Quetzalli Jewelry
http://www.quetzallijewelry.com/Their website really isn't very exciting, but on the basis of the jewelry itself I'd like to offer this award to QUETZALLIJEWELRY.COM. There are a lot of companies out there doing "organic" jewelry, but this small company from Mexico is the first in a long time where I've walked past their jewelry and had to stop and stare -- it's absolutely gorgeous work they're doing, especially their bead-inlaid and ammonite fossil plugs.

Cold Steel
http://www.coldsteel.co.uk/I'm going to nominate Cold Steel for this... not for having unique, or super high end quality stuff...their stuff is above average to very good generally, but they get nominated for being one of the most accessible body piercing jewellery sites in the UK, and having some of the fastest service I've ever come across from an online store (of any type). I have always used them, and always recommend them. In a country swamped with Wildcat crap, it's a nice change.
