GOOD GOD! The most pain ever! And then not being too confident about telling people and so when they hug you it hurts! Looks bloody sexy tho, but seriously does take a good 6 months to a year to heal. Also have them BOTH done at once or you'll never go back

4mm balls on the barbells... That's all!

Each ball though is pretty much larger than my nipple, which is proberbly why they stuck out so much!

Plus I always wore sports bras from working in a leisure centre, so I guess that's a bit thin and flimsy and would show them off quite a bit!

really?!? I have 3mm balls on them, although I did have 4 and 5mm beforehand - they never showed (my nipples are tiny too). Maybe it's just my bra or my soft flesh that they never show lol

Nipple Piercing

Hi! I'm thinking about getting mine done, and was wondering what kind of good/bad experineces other people have had.....

I've had no bad experience of any significance - none, and I've had mine, ohhh - 13 years now. I once caught the left side on the edge of a car door, and it hurt, but no more than that - like stubbing your toe, sharp but over quickly and no damage done. I wouldn't use em to attach myself to a waterski boat, but in day to day life, I just don't even notice them now. Play sensibly up to whatever limit works for you, working up very gently after maybe a few weeks or a couple of months, and you should have no problems at all. I found that once they'd been in 12 months, that was it - I could do anything with them then, that I can do now - though my overall pain tolerance has risen over the years as well.

Make sure that:

1) The person doing it is competent and sterile.

2) Insist on 316 SS ( surgical steel). This is the alloy used to make surgical instruments and is hypo allergenic. Most post piercing problems are not caused by dirt, but by the bodys reaction to the metal.

Of course, you'll keep the wound well cleaned though, and yes barbells are a good start, although I went straight to .5 inch rings. Whatever jewellery you put in, keep it rotating for a good few days - don't let a scab develop and bond to the metal - because that will hurt. Oh OK, if you insist *sigh*

Do it do it do it. You won't regret it! Good luck...

Be careful with stainless steel!

Of the materials used, stainless is possibly the worst as it contains nickel, which some people re-act to.

Recently the law was changed because of this and you cannot use stainless steel for initial jewelry (though some companies do sell extremely low nickel and can be used)

Go for Titanium or PTFE.

Best aftercare is just to soak the piercing in a solution on 1/4 teaspoon salt to half a pint of boiling water. Very soothing and helps draw everything out.

Hope that helps

do you think men and women have very similar experiences of nipple piercing or are they completely different? I just ask because you are both guys and I'm a delicate little flower of a girl (or a domineering bitch goddess, depending how the mood strikes!)

I don't know what experiences other women have, but as far as the piercing went, my two nipples were completely different!

One went through very smoothly and not unpleasantly at all, but the other hit some duct tissue and 'stuck' - had to be pushed quite hard and was surprisingly painful!

You may or may not wish to know that it can complicate breastfeeding as scar tissue can form, but that doesn't always happen (didn't for me - I had a sprinkler system!-but did for my friend).

Um - I didn't suggest Stainless steel, but an alloy known as 316SS, a type of *surgical* steel used to make medical implements, which provokes no reaction in very nearly 100% of healthy human beings.

Don't misquote me please.

Whilst we're at it, I wouldn't suggest that boiling water is the best way to treat a fresh piercing, either.

mine had to come out after about 26 months, when i suddenly had three holes in one, SN has now redone them after about 13 months of letting them heal up completely. hopefully they wont migrate again.

316ss is standard stainless steel, i sell that material every day.

depends how much of what other metals is in it. no idea what exactly surgical steel got less of. i had my first bars out of implatanium, that i bought from wildcat, it was suggested that it had far less nickel than surgical steel, now i just got normal surgical steel and i got no problems with them.

only thing is that my bars are about 20mm long

P.S. PTFE is Teflon, synthetic

Must have got mine done about ten years ago now, at a place called MetalMorphosis in London. Hurt like hell at first and I had a few problems with healing, cos despite frequent cleaning they did get crusty and irritate the skin. One particularly nasty infection I cleared up with a honey poultice left on for a few days, but tea tree would work just as well.

Had to leave them in for about 9 months before I dared remove them. I've only got one in these days as the other rejected and I never fancied having it done again.

im meant to be getting mine done next week so this threads proving rather useful indeed, thing is im a guy with quite small nipples hehe. ive heard they kinda grow after piercing if youre a guy, which is good. just hoping the piercer i go to knows what theyre doing and i can get the right size for me. not looking forward to catching them or whatnot, but the sensitivity? ah, yes, looking forward to that :D anyone recommend any good piercers in the preston area?

I stand corrected.

My piercings have been in for 13 years, and I haven't had an issue, so my memory was at fault. The point being - surgical = hypo allergenic, along with the other "good" metals listed by others.
