Piercing Advice - Nipples (42)

I've always enjoyed playing with nipple clamps (particularly the clover leaf ones) and have seen a delightful looking spiral nipple torture device made by fetters (http://www.fetters.co.uk/nipple-whirls-per-pair/ ) which are designed to be used with a piercing (though for short term play could be used with a surgical needle). Edit: Found the same product elsewhere at a quarter of the cost: http://www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/online_store/ad...

I'm mindful that with the sort of use I want from the piercing, that they probably need to be fairly well into the nipple, would that be correct?

I'm also interested in recommendations on where to have it done in the Bristol area, cost isn't much of a consideration, I'd rather have them done by someone with decent experience and a clean environment and pay for it accordingly.

What sort of healing period would people expect to see, and any after-care advice?

How long after piercing would people recommend before playing with them?

Cheers all!

Aftercare is as usual for body piercings, regular saline cleaning and rotating is fine.

all are good to keep new piercings clean but you may find one suits you better than other's,,

Please excuse crap spelling cause i,m rubbish

If I removed them at a later date, do they take long to heal back up again?

I've had my nipples pierced several times, if you take out the piercing, it heals up pretty quickly.

Type of ring- I think rings are recommended because the shape means they lie flatter against you. However this isn't the case for everyone. I HATE rings in mine, mainly because they just don't seem to come large enough, so they pinch. Its probably easiest to decide which you like and then stick to it until it has completely healed because the different shape piercings will make your nipple heal in a different shape inside- which for some people I know can make changing between shapes uncomfortable. If you want a large piercing then it would be a good idea to tape it to yourself for most of the time, just so you don't get it caught on something and end up minus a nipple

Metal- Surgical steel or titanium are the usual materials, avoid anything that you could have a reaction to (cheap alloys, even silver for some people).

Removal and re-piercing- I can't even change the piercing quickly enough to stop it from closing up and so putting the bar back through is agonising. So leaving it out for any length of time would be impossible.

Its really important to keep it clean. If it does get infected do not take the piercing out since that can cause an abscess.

Finally, (again I know its different for everyone) but I thought my nipples were pretty iron-cast, and the un-pierced one is fine, but 6 years in and still if the piercing gets nudged a tiny bit the wrong way I want to curl up and cry, and when I tried clamps I almost passed out in seconds. So although its supposed to be 6months healing time, mine never fully healed in the same way my ears have.

Saying all of that, I can't bring myself to take it out.

Please be nice to me I give myself enough shit everyday... so please don't gang up with me against myself!

Don't count on ever being able to "play" with them, consider it a bonus if you ever do. After 18 months mine hadn't healed properly and had to be taken out, even though I've had other piercings that have healed straight away.

My nipples (as I'm a bloke) aren't stupidly sensitive, indeed one is less so than the other from what I can tell, but will have to think about the best way forward now!
