Talk to me about nipple piercings

iwantnoworld

I'm considering it and I know there are some lovely ladies on here who have them, so give me your experiences. Or if you don't have one, but want or wanted them at some point, give me your reasons for not getting it done yet or at all.

But to those that do, how do you feel about them now? Any regrets? Tell me about your experience getting them done and the healing process. Did they increase/decrease sensation physically or mentally? What was your SO's reaction to them? How do you feel having them and being a mom?

I really really want them, but I'm scared, so if you have them and love them, give me your most convincing thoughts.

I wanted this when "both girls" stood at attention... (

I always wanted mine done but dh didn't like the idea. I had my tongue but took it out when I got married. Let us know if you do it!!

I had my tongue for several years, but I just kind of grew bored of it.  The only time I even noticed it was when I bit it (ouch), and SO said he didn't notice a differing in any sensations, so I was like meh, guess I'll lose it.  He's not allowed to take his out, though. 

I keep going back in forth between how much people say it hurts and "but, labor tho" lol.  If I do, I'm probably going to wait til my winter break so I don't have to explain to my classmates why I'm wincing every two seconds.

And money.  They might want that...

I had mine done and had them for about 4 years. They were okay, but in the end they were more troublesome than fun. My issues-1. one decided to get infected after 3 1/2 yrs. I tried everything to get the infection to go away, but in the end I had to just take it out. 2. I had to wear padded bras all the time or my piercings were obvious if I nipped out. That was annoying.

They didn't add any extra sensitivity, they were just boobie jewelry.

I want to but I've never taken the steps to do it.  At first I wouldn't bc of breast feeding but now that I know that isn't for me I just need to suck it up and do it.  SO mentions it every few months.

I just got mine done about 6 or 7 months ago. It was a little painful, but nothing too bad. I didn't have any significant pain with it after though either. But I've gotten tattoos in places people seem to say are really painful (top of the foot, ribcage down to hip bone), and I didn't find those painful either. So maybe I'm not a great judge.

 

I say do it though!

Oh noes!  I'm totally a belly sleeper, that will be awful.  Of course, I had the same issue of not sleeping on my boobs when I breastfed, so I'm sure I'll figure it out.  Lots of pillows. 

@ShamyCooler

How did you go about finding a place you trusted with your nips?  I know of good places in my town, but I can't decide which one would be best.

@Everyone I normally love tit every post, but for some reason every time I hit the button, TB is freaking the fuck out and I have to hit back, forward, back, forward and then cycle around half-loaded pages before finally making my way back here, so I give up.

The only thing I remember about it was they would flip up (I had rings in) when it got cold out.

That sucked.

Lol, that sounds fun.  Did you prefer rings over bars?  Did you pierce with bars to begin with?

My friend had just one pierced. One day, she leaned over my couch to pet my dog and it got stuck on the arm rest. The scream she made was horrifying and still haunts my dreams.

I vowed never to pierce my nipples.

Yeah that's a concern as well. I know my SO has to deflect DS all the time when he's grabbing at his shirt because he's afraid he's gonna tug on them. And the spongy bath washing thing gets caught a lot, so he has to be super careful. It's not even the pain, I just don't want to fuck up my nipples for life because of an extraneous thread getting looped on them. Bleggh. ::shivers::

I've had mine done twice in the past. The first time, I got them pierced with hoops and they started migrating out, so I removed them. A few years later o got them redone with the snall barbells and I loved them. They healed great and looked great too. MH was a big fan.

The only reason I tool them out this time was for BFing (which ended up not working out anyway- not related at all to the piercings though). I'd definitely consider doing it again. My breasts don't exactly have the best shape and are certainly not perky, so I honestly liked the look of having the nipple piercings.

Eta...yes, it hurts, but its over so quick, the pain was NBD to me. If you can handle childbirth, you can handle getting your nips pierced!

@MrsT0514

See that's kind of where I'm at as well. I mean, I like my boobs, and I know SO likes my boobs, but they're not in the best shape and never really have been, and I think piercings would give me something about them that makes them just as good, but different, yanno?

And bleegghh again on the migrating. How far in did it migrate before you took them out? Did you lose any sensation from that happening? I'm serious, loss of sensation is probably one of my biggest fears.

Yeah dh didn't care for it when the bj was happening haha so I got rid of it. I miss it sometimes. I like piercings and tattoos, he doesn't. I know I can get them if I want but if he doesn't like them at all and I care what he thinks and likes, I won't get them

Well funny enough, my teenage niece has a lot of piercings so I went to the same place she always goes lol. It's a place in the Bay Area that has a good reputation.

I'm also a belly sleep, and never had any issues after getting pierced. Sure, it was probably a little tender, but nothing unbearable to where I had to switch positions. I still say do it (when you can)

iwantnoworld

@Spapeggy thankfully, both SO and I love piercings.  We both have snake bites and eyebrow, he still has his tongue, nippies and industrial.  I want my nose and some dermals, but my big one I'm weighing on is my nipples.  I feel like at this point I wouldn't be compatible with someone that wasn't into piercings.  I'm too attached, especially to my lip piercings.  But we take each other into consideration about ones we're less than ethused about.  I want a nose stud, he thinks they look like pimples.  He wants his ears gauged, and I just think that's icky (no rational reason why).

I do think it's something that my various family members are waiting for me to "grow out of" but I don't see an end in sight yet considering I'm still wanting more.  Even my profession won't interfere, because any facial ones can come out for days at a time.  Honestly, the only thing I worry about is being the "scary" parents.  I don't want anyone to not let their kids hang out with DS because of judginess (yay Bible Belt).

I think I am.  The more I think about it, the more excited I get. 

But I've gotta wait and see if I can find another job first.  The money just isn't there right now (damn priorities putting diapers over nipple pizzaz).  If I do get a better job, it's probably gonna be my Christmas present/New Year's resolution, lol.

Justifications <-- I have them.

Yeah we are in the Bible Belt. I've them but I care about what dh likes. Just like I am obsessed with his beard and he's wanted to shave. He keeps it for me. So sexy

I wish SO would listen to what I like for his beard.  I like that just trimmed but stubbley look.  He lets it grow grow grow, then shaves it completely clean, then grow grow grow.  The part I like lasts for like a day or two and the rest he looks either homeless or like a 15 year old boy.

I've had my nipples pierced twice. The first time they were migrating out after about 6 months. I had them re-pierced about four years later by a different piercer. She suggested doing them deeper and at an angle to avoid the scar tissue. The second time hurt more than the first, but the migrating from the first time hurt the most. I kept them in for 7 years and removed them after my daughter was born to make breastfeeding easier.
I don't plan to get them repierced. My DH didn't love them and I worry there may be too much scar tissue.
Good luck!

I had mine done years ago in my late teens/ early twenties.
First one they used a numbing spray, second time no anaesthetic at all- just breathing exercises they talked me through. Honestly it hurt less the second time. I took them out when I was pregnant with ds1 4 years ago. I bf and couldn't be bothered with the faff of removing and replacing them constantly. My so wasn't fussed either way. I had them done before I even met him, so I never had a chance to gauge his reaction to it as an idea- they came with the package so to speak.
