Nipple piercings

I am currently thinking over the possibilty of getting a nipple piercings. I was just wondering what are all fo the side affects and dangers of ahving this done?

Belly button piercings, nipple piercings, and tongue piercings are often the most likely form of body piercing to get infected. These regions are highly sensitive, and therefore can cause severe pain if the piercing does not heal as planned.

It has been noted that half of all piercings will require medical attention due to the various dangers of body piercing. This means that when you get pierced, you should be aware of the fact that there is a fifty percent chance that you will need to visit a doctor for some reason, whether it is to treat an infection, an allergic reaction, or a disease contracted from the new body piercing. Many of these dangers can be avoided by following simple rules of safety precaution.

I just got my nipples pierced not even a week ago. They are healing up fine and as long as you clean them right and do everything your supposed to they will be fine. If you have small boobs they will heal even faster. You have to make sure your always taking care of them and making sure they're clean. You dont want to get an infection in yourbreast! Even when they aare healed you should always clean them.

Just be careful, and don't rip your shirt off without thinking..you don't want those rings to get caught in your clothing and rip out. OUCH>

the worst pain I've ever felt in my life was a 10g needle going through my nipple :]

if you have sensitive nipples, this piercing is nauseating.I bled a lot and almost passed out from the shock/pain. but..I also had a sadistic piercer who used a needle 2 gauges too large.one thing that really helped me heal was wearing a bra to bed.it keeps your boobs in one place so your piercing doesn't get roughed up while you're asleep.most people will tell you to avoid that..but it worked well for me

hurts a ton!
I would not advise it, don't want anybody to go through that kind of pain!!
just think about all those nerve endings, they are right in your nipple. ouch!

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FINE... THE PIERCING ITSELF WAS AS AST AS FAST CAN BE AND THEN YOU ARE REALLY TENDER FOR WHILE.THE COLD SUX AND SO DOES BEING BUMPED INTO...REALLY!!! NOT THAT BAD.

I wanted to get my nipples pierced for years, so one day I got up my nerve and went and got it done. I had reserched the subject(history, do's, don't complications, etc..)and area body piercers. The gentleman I chose had been piercing for 15 bad plus years and his salon was extremey clean. It was slightly painful, but I remember walking out being so proud that I finally had it done. I was careful to follow directions for cleaning and treating them while they healed. I am 41, it has now been four years, since I made the decision to have them pierced. FYI; I have no other piercings;except for my ears, and no tatoos. I wish I would have done it sooner. My husband thought I had lost my mind, now he wishes I would had done it sooner also. I am a very large breasted and the piercings add so much passion and excitement to love making. I would definately recommend having your nipple pierced.

I got mine done over 5 months ago and just recently took them out...I have my nose done, tongue done and ears as well and the nipples were the only ones I had trouble with. They continued to stay sore and tender and would get infected, I soaked them in sea salts and took anibiotics and they did great , but once I was done with that, they were sore again. I know of others who have it done and are fine, its just may be my body rejecting it and not adjusting. I just got tired of being sore all the time. I started out with hoops because they are less likely to catch on clothing, but the place I had them done at put barbells in after a couple months to see if it would help the soreness. Everybody has a different experience. Good luck!

I got my nipples pierced yesterday and I must say.. it was a horrible pain.
I compared it to having your nipples bitten off!!!
I've had my tongue, eyebrow, nose, and tons on my ears & nothing even compares to getting your nipples pierced. I've yet to enjoy the benefits, but am very excited as the slightest graze across them feels so amazingly good!!!

I've heard that having nipples pierced is actually better for breastfeeding because it allows more milk flow for baby.

Make sure you go to a SAFE & CLEAN place to get pierced. Do NOT go to the cheapest place, it is WORTH the extra money for QUALITY piercings & a great experience!

I feel bad for "xtinkx" who said she had a sadistic piercer who pierced her with a 10g needle!!
The standard is 14g.

I've have both my nipples pierced and I must say "I love them." make sure it's something your really into before getting it done. I was also afraid of the pain but it wasnt bad at all... I kinda enjoyed it. I did have a bit of difficultly in the first week or so..I woke up to find my bra drenched in blood on my right side.. I was also quite tender. I suggest wearing a fitted sports bra and a loose shirt to sleep. avoid getting them caught in anything because it slows down the healing process. AND PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THEM... your piercer well tell you how to care for them properly.

also keep in mind. that becuase this is a surface piercing you have a greater chance of it getting regected by your body or migratiing.

im getting mine done in february, I cant waiitt!!!
