I am a 31 year old female and I have been thinking of getting my nipples pierced. I think it is a very sexy look and I have very sensitive nipples. I have been thinking about it for several years. I already have my tongue pierced. Has anyone had any experiences with pierced nipples?
 
Do it!

I've had mine done for about three years now and just love them. Even if you're not really into the "pain" thing, my favorite part is just knowing what I have when others would have no idea. Or seeing people's faces when it might just casually come up in conversation, it's great.

But definitely get both done, not just one.

I definately want both done at the same time. I've heard that if you do not do it at the same time the placement of the ring can be off.
 
the pain is worth itMy wife has had n

my wife had hers done for about twenty plus years and was very happy with them. then she decided to take them out and they closed up real quick. we both miss the look end the effects. we are planning on piercing her lower lips after the holidays. then i feel sure that she will want her nipples done again.

another of my concerns is I have not had any children and want to breast feed when I do. Did your wife have any children while she had the nipple rings? And if so did she breast feed?
 
Oh, and from what I've heard, if you want the best shot at breastfeeding, it's wise to wait until after you've had kids. Otherwise, a lot of women only get one done prior to pregnancies but plenty have enough trouble feeding babies with two breasts, much less one, so that's why waiting is likely your best bet. Pay attention to what ladies have said about babies grabbing at the jewelry on the pierced one in those threads above, too.

Personally, if I'm still interested after I'm done with kids, I'll go ahead, but breastfeeding for the first year or so is very important to me, so I'm not going to do anything to risk that.
 
SweetErica I always fine your comments very helpful. I somewhat figured I needed to wait until after I had my kids. But once I have had some I definately am going to get pierced.
 
Im planning to get one nipple pierced and get a tattoo of a star outline around the nipple.

Just thought I'd tell ya :)
 
For nipple piercings or any kind of body piercing, how you get the piercing done, where you get it done (the shop), and what kind of jewelry you choose are very important.

First and foremost, you should look for a piercer who is a member of the Association of Professional Piercers (APP).

(The have some great information about choosing a piercer on their site.

When it comes to body jewelry, you need to look carefully at the type of materials the jewelry is made from. Any body piercing (other than standard ear piercings) should be done with implant grade metals such as:


  • Surgical Implant Stainless Steel, CrNMo 316LVM, ASTM F-318**
  • Surgical Implant grades Titanium, including Ti6A4V ELI, ASTM F-136***

** American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Specification for Wrought 18 Chromium-14 Nickel-2.5 Molybdenum Stainless Steel Bar and Wire for Surgical Implants (UNS S31673)

*** American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) alloy (UNSR56401) for Surgical Implant Application

You should also make sure that any piercing jewelry is free of nicks, cuts, or scratches on the surface because bacteria can be trapped in any nick, cut, or scratch and breed easily in the heat and moisture of your body.

The jewelry should also be free of burrs as burrs can rip the skin. And you should not use piercing jewelry that is coated with a polishing compound.

Finally, something you will want to consider especially for nipple piercings is using internally treaded jewelry. In fact, all fresh piercings should be done with jewelry with internal tapping (no threads on posts). (This is especially important on barbell nipple piercings.) For ring piercings (CBRs--Captive Bearing Rings), you want rounded ends on your rings.


External threads on the jewelrytear the skin every time they go in or out; thus they increase the chance of scarring External threads also collect more body fluids, which can cause infection.

A picture of external threading versus internal threading is linked below.


For nipple piercings you can choose straight barbell, curved barbell or CBR rings.

Bodyart Forms gives you a good range of the kinds of jewelry that can be ordered if you want to look at the types available. But for a fresh piercing, you should select yoru jewelry from the place that you are getting the piercing.

Any new piercing should be completely healed before you change the jewelry. For a nose piercing, complete healing takes about 6 weeks; nipple piercings can take 3-6 months.

And for a tidbit of advice, if a nipple piercing every comes out, you can put them back in by themselves, but you should not try to do so on a completely dry nipple. Its far easier to do it in the shower if you soap the nipple up with antibacterial soap. If that fails, you can get a small amount of olive oil (NEVER baby oil) and lube your nipple with that and usually slide the piercing back in. Do not force it though or you can rip the skin around the piercing, which can lead to infection.

It is typically recommended that if you are not comfortable putting your piercing back in, that you have it done at a piercing studio. I regularly put my nose piercing back in if it comes out. I've snagged it on a wash cloth a couple of times.
 
I've got both my nipples pierced. I am a man.

Firstly, I agree that a woman with pierced nipples is sexy as hell. Just had to get that out there.

My only piece of advice would be to go with a straight barbell for your first jewellery. The reason for this is that they catch on things less, especially during sex. When I had a ring in my first nipple piercing it constantly got rubbed especially during sex and it was quite inconvenient, hurt and I'm pretty sure slowed down the healing process. A straight bar is much easier to look after and won't get as affected by all the skin to skin rubbing that tends to go on at times. I had a straight bar put in for my second nipple and it was much easier. I have a straight bar through both of them now since I prefer that look for myself.

After it's healed then you can do what you like...I personally think rings look better on a woman's nipple than a bar, but obviously that's a matter of personal taste.
 
If you're not ready for your nipples, you might try a clitoral hood piercing. Mostly painless, quick healing time and it just feels cool as hell...

I've also heard that some women take a long time to heal for nipple piercings. Any soft tissue or surface piercing can be this way, but a lot would have to do with how well you care for them and your body's immune response to the piercing.

I had a couple of surface piercings in my chest done... see here;

And they just never, ever came close to healing. I had them removed just before a trip to the jungle as I was paranoid abut having an open and mildly infected wound there.

Surface piercings take much longer to heal than other types of piercings and eventually they will migrate because you are continually sloughing off dead skin.
 
'tis ok - the resident piercer is back online *smile*

right.... to dispell some myths....

breastfeeding can be done with pierced nipples, and i myself have done so.
i recommend replacing any rings with barbells tho, and ALWAYS check to make sure the balls are screwed on tightly.
if you have trouble still, then you can remove the jewellery completely, and simply replace it when you finish.
piercing your nipples in no way interferes with your natural milk production, nor does it interfere with the flow - in fact, your milk comes from many little holes in the nipple (not just one) so you will still be able to have the full flow.

threaded jewellery is not usually a problem re: tearing the skin, because by the time you begin taking it out and replacing it you should be fully healed anyway (attempting to replace jewellery too early will result in infection issues).

healing of any glandular tissue can sometimes take a long time, depending on how your body heals in the first place.
it can take anywhere up to 12 months, but the usual is between 4 and 6 months to completely heal.

i use CBR's when piercing nipples (unless my clients specify otherwise) as i have seen much better results with healing and less infection problems by doing so - and i have been piercing for many years.

any more questions?
feel free to pm me :)

the success of a surface piercing is dependant on many factors - the clients skin healing ability, the elasticity of the area pierced, the amount of 'skin movement' in the pierced area, the type and shape of jewellery used and the clients own attention to maintainence.
i have clients who have successfully maintained madison piercings for over 5 years before a couple voluntarily removed them (2 still have them in)... and the piercings were beautifully healed and set.
several other surface piercings are now over 3 1/2 years since being done, including a hip piercing and several back-of-wrist and -neck piercings.

it depends on so many things, that i cannot ever predict who will be lucky enough to keep them and who will have migration issues, so i warn everyone about the problems that can be experienced and let them decide if they'd like to go ahead.
