Not gonna lie: the clamp felt great, first needle felt just like any other piercing. Not too bad. Second clamp, again, great (I learned a lot about myself that day), and then OOOO I feel bad. It hurts, but not terribly, but I yelled in my piercers face. Left her a $20 tip from embarrassment!
Thank you for sharing your experience. A little yelling and maybe some swearing is prt of the piercing experience for a lot of people. Most piercers don't mind and a good tip is always appreciated. Thank you for watching.
when i got mine done i said to they piercer before hand 'just so you know i may swear' and he said it wasnt a problem, i effed a few times, each time he double checked i was okay!
this video really helped me to decide to get mine pierced. i finally did it yesterday and super happy with the results. definitely did not hurt as much as i was expecting. first was about 4/10 but the second was a high 7/10, but over SO quickly. the piercer was also really helpful in making me feel comfortable because i was extremely nervous walking in to the appointment
Maybe not a typical situation but I had my nipples pierced for about 4 years before I became a mother. I wanted to breastfeed and didn’t want to lose my piercing so I would take it out and feed daily of course and just put jewelry back in daily or sometimes weekly without any issues. I breastfeed for two years and still have my piercings 🥰
Everyone is different but often leaving the jewelry out for a few hours can cause the piercings to close. I'm happy to hear that you were able to keep the piercings and thank you for sharing your experience.
I got my nipples pierced and he did it free hand. Haven’t had any issues. He has 20 years of experience and is licensed with the American Piercing Association. I’ve never seen someone so skilled and made me feel so comfortable. He answered all my questions and was very informative. This piercing has boosted my confidence so much and I love my breasts so much more now.
Had mine for 4 months now! The piercing itself hurt like hell but the healing process was a breeze. Didn’t feel any pain after the first 24 hours. I love them so much!!
I got mine done two days ago, while on my cycle. So far so good. The piercing pain was less than I expected, 4/10. Afterwards that day it just felt like I had nipple clamps on (pleasurable for me). They’re a little crooked but it gives it a little character. My piercer made me feel comfortable and did a good job overall.
I got mine pierced back on Saturday, so far it seems everything is healing well. I’ve been watching this guy and his videos made me more confident while getting this body part pierced. I’m going to see my piercer in early June and I’m hoping he’ll be able to tell me that it’s healed enough to safely go swimming while I’m on vacation. I got two coming up one in mid June and mid September.
I had mine done 6 months ago and they weren't nearly as painful as I expected from friends stories! My whole city went into lockdown a week after for 4 months so there was no way to downsize until three weeks ago. Thankfully no irritation bumps happened somehow! My piercer did them freehand since he's been doing them that way for 10 years and they're done perfectly :D
I'm about 3 months into my healing process & I've developed a new nemesis. Loose threads. I thought i knew pain until the day i caught my nip nop on a loose thread as i was getting dressed. I genuinely thought i was going to die that day. Thankfully I'm still alive and healing is going well but sweet baby jesus catching my lovely lady lumps unexpectedly is a nightmare i live more frequently than I'd like to admit
First off, Ouch. I had this really old NOFX t-shirt and I kept getting mine caught in the holes. I learned to pull the front of the shirt away from the piercings as I slid in on and off.
I got mine done today and I love them! I was terrified but it actually wasn’t that bad. The first one was as solid 4/10 but the second one was definitely an 8/10. They hurt for about an hour after but now I don’t even feel any pain or discomfort
same! I got them done today and don’t feel much anymore, though my nipples are very sensitive so i’m happily surprised! Hope the healing is going well so far 💕
I LOVE mine! I got the July 4, 2020. Let's see reasons 1, 3,4....several of my coworkers have them and no one knew until we all were talking about them one night at work (the beauty of working nightshift).
Getting mine done tomorrow so I’ve been watching so many videos on pain level and care for it. Just came across this video and I feel confident/comfortable now hearing from a pro.🖤 Thank you and I will most definitely do a follow up comment after.
@@ryanm7249 I had gotten my nose done and nipples at the same time, I ended up getting pregnant so I wasn’t able to keep them 🥺 I plan on getting them redone once the baby is out and I no longer produce milk.
Hi DaVo, thank you producing such comprehensive, educational content for free! It really helps people make informed decisions before getting their piercings (that's why I went ahead and got my septum done a few years ago, and currently considering more!). Where I live, it's hard to find piercing shops with such high levels of professionalism like you've made me aware of through your videos (such as offering a thorough consultation before the procedure, providing detailed/written information on aftercare etc.), or they charge a ridiculous amount (I forked out more than a hundred bucks for the septum)-because getting pierced by a gun at a jewelry shop is a far more common experience in my country. It's also obvious that you have such a passion for what you do and always eager to stay up to date, which is so wonderful. Btw, did you ever mention what the best size/gauge of jewelry to get the nipples pierced with? I might have missed it. Thanks and hope you have a great Christmas! :)
You're welcome and yes, I would like to see the standards of the industry improve. I think that starts with the clients expecting more. Usually with nipple piercings 14-10g is the standard. Width on barbells 7/16-5/8 on average. It all comes down ro the width of the nipple.
Yeah I get you there I live in Wichita Kansas and it is hard to find a very professional piercing spot either they’re super cheap super uneducated, or they’re on the other end of the spectrum and they’re super super super expensive I forked out more than $200 for a septum ring, then he pierced it with a clicker and it’s swelled too much, and I had issues with it it’s finally healed now and it’s beautiful I love it but it was way way more expensive than it should’ve been. And to my knowledge you’re not supposed to pierce a septum with a clicker
Yes you are right, it shouldn't be pierced with a clicker or hinged ring. A lot of it comes down to the jewelry they stock. I try to stock many options from good quality affordable jewelry to very expensive gold and everything in between. It means a bigger investment but not everyone can spend $200 on a piercing. Also a simple Titanium circular barbell is going to make for a much easier heal.
i got mine done 3 days ago for my birthday 🩷 the pain was unbelievable. i knew it was going to hurt but i did end up shouting quite loud 😭😭 luckily my piercer is so lovely and professional, she made me feel so comfortable! they ached for around an hour afterwards but it was so so so worth it! it’s made me so much more confident in my body. if you’re thinking about getting them, go for it! the actual piercing lasts for not even 20 seconds, the rest is just getting comfy, putting dressings on etc. thanks so much for this video !
That is strange that the video came up. Take care to the piercing and you should have an easy heal. If something does not seem right, get ahold of me. Happy healing.
What good timing! I'm currently considering re-piercing. I got them done originally 4 years ago and had to take them out 2 years ago. I didnt have great luck healing them the last time but I was in my early 20s and not as diligent as I should have been! I did swear it was a piercing I would never do again, but after so many years I seem to have forgotten how bad they hurt 😅🤣 Thanks for this video and such great info!
It depends on if you feel that your body looks better with piercings than without them. You have the right to alter your own body how you wish. It's my experience that people that get nipple piercings are not chasing trends and are rarely doing them for someone else.
Yes, they are prone to that. I will say that it fades over time or we all start to instinctively avoid contact. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
thanks for another informative video. i'm someone who got pierced with curved barbells and my piercer's reason was because i have slightly inverted nipples and the curve would help mitigate any potential pressure that the inversion may put against the piercing. the reasoning was sound to me so i went with it, and healing has been fine! when i downsized from the piercing jewelry, my piercer still used a pierced barbell for the same reason just to be safe, and things have still been fine. i'm at 9 months now (some grumpiness but still overall great) and i've just ordered some 1/2" straight barbells to be my final jewelry, and i'm looking forward to it!
I'm glad you found the video informative. The main issue with curved barbell is they tend to set with the top of the curve. I get what they are thinking but unless the curve stays inward, a straight barbell would have been a better option. Now, it the barbells are in fact sitting with curve inward, it would best to stick with the curves, if they are pointing downward a straight barbell is a better option.
I didnt wanna ever wear a bra after mine it kinda hurt to compress them. Pain was not bad really. Especially the first one, it was a pinch. Go get it if you wanna be more confident in your breasts. And ofc ALWAYS CLEAN YOUR PEIRCINGS. EVEN AFTER THEY ARE HEALED.💓
@@BodyPiercingTattooing def worth it! Just got them and I'm so happy with the shop and professionalism that my piercer has. But def not getting any other piercings anytime soon. Pain out of 10 would have to be an 8 (but just the initial pierce with the needle) after that its smooth sailing. Thanks for the video!
i was always kinda scared of getting mine pierced but i saw somewhere that you could lose sensitivity, you saying otherwise just gave me the green light
I got my nipples pierced about 3 weeks ago the healing process went amazingly well so far, I think a little too well. No swelling even immediately after, no liquid coming out, no pain whatsoever(only when i got them pierced) and no crustiness. But i noticed that one is a little bit more deeply done than the other and i think that the piercer did that so it looks more even(one of my nipples is not exactly straight and even), so it’s a bit close to the areola. Should I worry?
I'm going tomorrow to get both nipples pierced. I do have my heart set on rings but will happily concede to a barbell if my piercer strongly recommends it. These tutorials have been amazing (I've watched a ridiculous amount of them!). I feel a lot more empowered and confident about the questions I should ask and the red flags I should keep an eye out for. Thanks!
It's best to heal out with barbells and then wait an additional 6 months before changing to rings. Ask about their experience, sterilization methods and to see examples of their work. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
I got mine in February of 2023. I was worried it would be an issue because my nipples were already pretty sensitive. If they were touched a certain way I’d start feeling nauseous and uncomfortable. Fortunately, the piercings have actually helped to make that particular activity more pleasurable more often than not. I haven’t regretted the piercing at all. I clean it every day in the morning and check it in the evening. At 5-6 months there really wasn’t any build up to even clean the second time. Definitely the most painful piercing I’ve gotten though. The only one I ever yelled for. I suspect it’ll be the only one of any future ones too 😅
Well information can make a huge difference. Especially with piercings and healing them. If you decide to do them again, good luck and let us know how it turns out.
My septum was more painful than my nipples. The most painful thing is the clamp! Go for it!! Its like a 4/10 on the pain scale for the actual piercing itself.
i had the same exact experience! getting my nipples done hurt in the moment, but not terribly. my septum on the other hand was a solid 6 or 7. my ex piercer went straight through cartilage and oh my lord it hurt so badly, it’s my most painful piercing by FAR
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I agree, got my septum that way, its perfectly straight and I barely felt it, actually had to ask the piercer whether the needle is already through (I always close my eyes :D ) Now thinking of nipple piercings, so far yours is the most educative video thanks ❤ I am a bit more on a yes side now...
I recommend using a breast shells during the healing process to keep it from touching anything, especially while wearing a bra of tight clothing. I wore these while working at fedex , where I literally had boxes and other things hitting my chest 10hrs straight. Lol. And not once did I experience pain . By the way breast shells are hard plastic half spheres on one side and soft silicone on the otherside that lays flat on the breast and has a cut out circle that the nipple fits into. Breast shells are for woman who are breast feeding and the breast shells catches the milk that comes out between feedings. Also they are not noticeable in sports bras with pads . They should also never be used with push up bras.
Thanks for the great info!!!! ll be 42 in Oct and I'll be finished with Nursing School!! In celebration to both, I'm treating myself to nipple piercings!!💜💜
Yeaah!!! I just turned 36 and finally getting all the piercing I want one after the other lol I did 1 then it didn't go well had to remove it Then did 3 in 1 go lol 1 wasn't done properly so removed it I have currently 2 and need to do the 2 others + 2 nipples
Happy birthday ladys,got mines done on my birthday this april i turned 37 and i have to say i have fetish with my boobs now lol . it definetly enhances the breast for sure. You should go for it i love mines
I loooove this piercing! Did it almost a year ago, both were not very painful, at least less than my helix (still remember that day…ugh). Love the look, all kinds of jewellery and the massive confidence boost. Edit: sometimes it takes a bit more time to find the right jewellery because I need larger barbells than 5/8”. But it’s not a problem for me at all.
Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying your piercings. 5/8 is a pretty common size for most barbells. I guess it really depends on what you are looking for but there is a lot of the more designs on the market than there used to be. Especially the threadless jewelry which opens up a lot of different options for ends.
Thank you for informative video. got my nipples pierced about a week ago and they are doing well, swelling done and hist a lil crust. pain level for me was a 6/10. but afterwards piece of cake . You are amazing and the reason i got my vertical labret done instead of the labret . Good work sir ✌🏽😁
Congratulation on your new piercings and I'm happy to hear that they are doing well. Glad to hear that you have found the videos useful. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Never wanted nipple piercings because I knew that if I had kids, I wanted to nurse. But, now that I’m officially a part of the one and done crew.... 🤔🤔🤔
I got one nipple piercing a couple weeks ago and then just last week decided to go and get the other nipple done because it looked uneven with just the one done🤣 I’m very happy with them and there healing super well. I watched all your nipple piercing videos before getting mine done and they were super helpful. Thank you 😁
Just got mine done yesterday!! I don’t know if I’m just touched starved but I enjoyed the piercing experience. Didn’t really hurt for me but I did bled a lot
I watched this video when you first posted it I just started working at a piercing shop and wanted to experience the feeling because everyone kept asking I must say mine didn’t hurt . I thought being that my nipples are sensitive it was going to be unbearable I guess I spiked my self out lol I suggest to everyone get them pierced at least once I love mine. Can’t wait till they are fully heal
Have they healed for you well? Which side did you get done first? Now that you work in a piercing shop you can let everyone know what your experience is.
I just got mine redone yesterday. I first had them done when I was probably 20/21 and had them for probably about a year before one got infected and I took them out (which I now know was the worst thing I could have ever done and I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. Thank goodness Antibiotics exist). I’m now 26 and had been wanting to get them redone so I finally did. My second experience was way different the second time around. 1st go around clamps were used and the piercer used rings which I absolutely hated because it was so I comfortable. It also led to be buying barbells from Spencer’s just to get the rings out. This time I used a completely different shop and guy. He did it free handed and he was so knowledgeable. He said barbells were the way to go and he also gave great after care instructions and explained everything as he did it. My second experience was 10/10. They’re straight and look amazing! The difference in price between the two experiences was DRASTIC but you really get what you pay for. I would describe the pain as a burning sensation but it goes away soon after they’re done. If you are considering the piercing I would highly suggest it! Also the shop sold the spray recommended in this video and I highly suggest! Much better than the hydrogen peroxide I used when I was younger ( I was uninformed and was given 0 instructions my first go around).
I've been considering getting mine done. My only concern is that I sleep on my front so not sure how well that would work out. Good to know you're in Des Moines! Definitely know where to go if I choose to do it 😁
You really want to avoid sleep on the piercings. It is best to sleep on your side or figure out a way to make sure the piercings are not in contact with your bedding. Yes, we are located in Des Moines. If you decide to get them, your best bet is to set up an appointment by going to axiompiercing.com/booking
Thanks for this informative video, it's literally a life saviour! I've got a question related to working out - isn't the friction of jumping around and moving a lot going to cause problems? Thanks in advance
I do have a question abut re-piercing. I had to abandon my nipple piercings but I have been thinking recently about getting them done again. I'm not sure what I should expect from that, or if I should even attempt it, I would love to know your thoughts on this! Thank you!
If the piercings were healthy when you removed the jewelry, re-piercing shouldn't be an issue. Scar tissue can be a little more sensitive and the piercing may be slightly uncomfortable but not too much. Sometimes it may bleed a little more. Otherwise should be about the same as the last time.
@@JessicaAkAAdiz hey sure! it’s been 2 months ans I has NO problems with it. Didn’t even have some pus after it. Just also make sure to follow the instructions & after care
Today I’m going to get mine. I had my right one pierced for four years. But after childbirth I took It out. And after 11 years at almost 40 I feel like a rebbel doing it again. Thanks for this great video 💜 I bought the Neilmed mist this week online so I got that right away.
Thanks for the essay! Very interesting. Much more men should be pierced at BOTH nipples. No half way. I got mine done a year ago, and I am most happy. Absolutely no regret. Best wishes for 2021!
One day after I got my nipple pierced I realised that the jewellery is very thin. Turned out that the piercer pierced me with 1,2mm curved barbell so I called her back to ask if she hasn't done it by mistake, because as far as I know female nips should be pierced with 1,6mm needle. She told me that it's very uncommon to pierce them with such a thick neede and that I could choose how thick the needle would be except she forgot to tell me that. Now I don't know if I should have them repierced with 1,6mm or leave it like that. Please, somebody help me because I'm stumped
14g or 1.6mm is the thinnest used in most cases. The piercing cam be healed with thinner jewelry but I would suggest stretching the piercing after it has seasoned. Also straight barbells would be a better option. Here is the deal if the piercings are healing and there is no issues, leave them be.
I’ve done all my piercings with 1.2mm and then used a taper pin to stretch them out to 1.6mm once the initial healing has occurred. In my experience, the larger size bars tend to be less uncomfortable.

I just got mine done this morning. I watched all your videos on nipple piercings a million times to prepare myself. They hurt like hell. Whoever said “it’s not as bad as you think it is” is lying 🥲 The first one was definitely the worst. Right now my boobs hurt and my piercings burn a bit but they don’t hurt nearly as much as I thought they would at this point. I’m any case, they look bomb!
Everyone has a different experience. I'm sorry yours wasn't the best. Though from your response, I'm guessing that you feel it was worth it. Congratulations, thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Perfect timing! I was thinking of getting mine pierced! How do you feel about nipple shields? Obviously I would wait OVER A YEAR to make sure those bad boys are all healed out, but I've heard some piercers say nipple shields are the devils work, and others say they're completely fine as long as they aren't too heavy and tug on the piercing. What are your thoughts?
I should have mentioned them but this video is rather long. You should mention that you plan on wearing nipple Shields at the time of the piercing. The main issue is that a majority of them are one size fits all and as I'm sure you are aware, the anatomy of the nipple and the breast varies greatly. So they tend to be ill fitting and cause pressure outward against the piercing. I always suggest wearing them only for short periods of time. Special occasions basically. Avoid anything made out of silver and sterling.
I've heard you can go swimming with them after 2 or 3 months as long as you clean them right after and wear water proof bandage just wanted to know what your thoughts were on this? Also hands down the best video I've seen on this! ty so much for all the great info!
I do not suggest swimming until the piercing is completely healed(6-12 months). It is the only way to ensure that they will not become infected. A waterproof bandage may reduce exposure to the water but they aren't 100% effective. Also, the adhesive can damage the piercing and collect on the jewelry.
Not really. The only issue is if there is a lot of outward pressure on the nipples which adds a slight risk to migration and rejection. Otherwise they should heal fine.
Hi, you mentioned that you should keep something in the piercing at all times only removing to change them out; what about when having a mammo or MRI's and they want you to take them out...Would they close up that quickly??
I love hearing your channel!! You are so good and give lots of information. I was also was looking for information on PA for my boyfriend- and he’s not cut - he’s from England. Before I knew him he said he had his nipples pierced twice. - getting PA - the place said they can make it work since he’s uncut. Your awesome
So after getting them pierced how will it be with the more intimate act. is there something one cant do anymore or how long would you have to wait? Also how does one now that you hace the right anatomy? Thanks in advance ^°^
I get mine done 2 years ago, now 6 months ago I got them taken out because of surgery. I’m thinking of getting them again but are a bit scared of it hurting more or complications with scar tissue? What are you experience with re-piercing?:)
Sometimes there can be a slight bit more discomfort but not as bad as you think it will be. Usually they heal faster the second time around or at least the heal seems easier. For future reference, you can wear glass retainers and it won't cause issues during surgery.
Thank you for making this video! My personal experience with this piercing: Mine are a little over 3 months old at this point, with a pretty smooth healing process so far. I was pierced with 12g straight barbells, internally-threaded and implant-grade titanium. The piercing itself was, quite frankly, shockingly painful to the point I thought I was going to have to back out halfway. I think my piercer did not use forceps, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had and I just completely forgot; I was pretty nervous going into the piercing, and once the pain started the rest of my concentration completely scattered. Despite the possibly free-hand piercing, I see nothing wrong with the final placement; the piercings are not uneven in any way I can see, are appropriately at the base of my nipples, and (at the recommendation of my piercer) are angled to visually complement my anatomy, which I am very happy for. But even though I love how they turned out, I can easily say that the pain of the piercing experience is singularly the reason that I would never ever get them re-pierced. In terms of healing, I haven't had many issues at all, but have had to make a couple expected lifestyle changes. I was a nearly religious stomach-sleeper before getting the piercings, but obviously have had to unlearn that. I've also discovered that I am much more comfortable wearing some type of sports bra at all times of the day than I am going bra-less, because it helps to have that bit of a barrier between my piercings and everything else. I have had little to no pain or soreness since the first couple days after the piercing except during my period, and even then it's nothing that a bit of ibuprofen can't soothe. I was a little nervous about how the healing would go because even though my helix piercing (~2yo) is very docile, my earlobe piercings (~6yo & 3yo) act up a lot. But I am happy that so far these piercings are being nice to me.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing very true! The thing about not being a professional is not knowing what to ask or look for. "Everyone" is "professional" when they're in a shop and that's certainly a huge misconception. If only they all RUclips videos like you, we'd know that they really know their stuff. I personally look for all the basic necessities of a shop/piercer: hygiene and cleanliness, credentials, a portfolio, reviews etc. The thing about that too is, the popular shops normally care the least because they have sooo many customers (in my experience) and the smaller shops don't care enough by the looks of things. Other than that, how do you know the RIGHT piercer from the wrong piercer 🤔
I'm going to make an updated version of the how to choose your piercer. In the mean time, set up a consultation before getting pierced. If they are worth their weight in salt, they will be willing to take a few minutes and sit down with you. The great thing about finding these videos and others is you are more educated. So ask lots of questions. Even ones that you know the answer to. Also ask others what their piercing experiences have been like.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing 😁😁😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 PERFECT! Thank you again soooo much and I'm turning your post notifications ON to look out for that video! 😎 I'm gonna wait to get my nipples pierced now.
The key is to let the tissue heal back to as normal as you can. Usually best to wait at least 2 months after you removed the jewelry. Otherwise the experience maybe a little easier because you know what to expect.
My brow piercing rejected, but I was told that happened because the bar was straight not curved. I want to get my nipple pierced but worried it will reject. Ive had other piercings but there only my ears and bellybutton.
never heard anyone say it but with mine it let in bacteria and i developed multiple cysts/lumps in my milk glands. please if you have them done do regular self exams
Milk duct infection are rare with nipple piercings. Understand that first you would have to introduce a pathogen that would cause the infection. It is why we stress cross contamination prevention so much.
Thank you so much for such informational videos! They really have helped! Just had a question about my nipple piercings. I got them done about three weeks ago and they seem to be healing fine, no bleeding or discomfort. But one has been healing into my skin, the ball seems to sink into my skin and I sometimes have to push the other side to get it out. It’s appearing to make a hole into that side of the piercing so just wondering if I should get a longer bar or if there’s something else I should do? Thank you in advance!!
You are welcome and thank you for watching. Yes, you may need a longer barbell. I would suggest seeing your piercer and have them put in something longer or with different ends.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you so much for responding! I went to my piercer but he said it wouldn’t be necessary to change them and that they looked normal. But the ball of the piercing continues to get lost in my skin and it started bleeding yesterday. I don’t like the placement of it either so I just want to remove it at this point. Would it be possible to repierce it in the future and is it necessary to have it taken out by a piercer? Thank you!!
They should aoways be marked with the client standing. I find it is more comfortable with the client to be reclined. With their body fully supported, they are more stable and it reduces the risk of the client moving.
Hi, i have had 2 kids and breastfed both. Because of that my nipples are slightly droopy when they are not erected. Do you think that getting them pierced might correct this?
There is no 100% in life and piercing but they may appear more pronounced and erect. Also I have had clients in the past say that it help regain some of the sensitivity they had lost after breast feeding.
Curious, does the second one hurt more even if you wait a few weeks or months between having them done. I'm just wondering if the phenomenon of the body reacting more severely is short term. I've wanted this done for almost 20 years and went to do it in Sturgis but my nipples were too large for the barbells they had on hand. My brother in law got them done instead and had a horrible experience which scared me away for awhile.
The second hurt more is more about how your body registers pain warnings. After the first piercing, the nervous system is on high alert. However, it is common that one side is more sensitive than the other. So you may notice one hurts more than the other regardless of when you do it. Chances are it is not going to be as bad as you think it is going to be. Also male piercings tend to be more painful than female nipples.
It makes little or no difference. Also it can cause swelling which could make the placement off and tends to be petroleum-based. Which makes getting a proper hold on the area and marking difficult. It isn't going to hurt as much as you think and the part that hurts isnt the surface.
Hello, thanks for your informative video🥰. I do have a question though. I just went through the comments and read that another women had some bioplast (plastic) barbells with titanium balls. I have the same. I’m afraid now because I read your answer. But when can I switch my jewellery to another one? Don’t you have to wait a certain time until you can change the piercing they pierced you with (for the first time)? And do you recommend a specific material :)? Thanks in advance!
Okay, so I just reached the point where you talked about the material. So I have an answer to that question now. But I have another two question now 😅. When do I know whether my piercing is healed or not? And when can you start touching the nipples in the bed room again:)? Thanks!
When you he piercing finishes its first stage of healing, the piercing holes will pull inward, the discharge will reduce or stop and the jewelry will move freely through the piercing. When in doubt see your piercer and have them take a look. We love seeing the results of our work and happy to tell you that it is healed or give it more time. You should avoid contact until the piercing is healed. You
More than likely the least risky. However, it brings up the question of whether the jewelry would damage the child's mouth. Thst would need further research about the child's development. Also often a large ring is need. So just the size of the jewelry could be an issue.
Thank you so much for this video!! Very informative and helpful. I had additional questions about females with larger breasts. My nipples sit a little lower, due to gravity (as my chest is 40DDD). Are nipple piercings still an option for me? Or will there be higher risk involved with the piercing itself and/ or heal time? 🤔😅 Thanks in advance!
There is little or no difference. The only thing that might cause an issue is if the weight is putting too much pressure on the nipple. Making them more like an inverted nipple.
How should double piercings be done? I have them but I had to go into my areola to get the vertical behind the horizontal and now I'm worried for my future milk production.
Hey my nipple piercing got hooked on the door a couple weeks ago and ripped, not completely but significantly. There's no more bleeding, no infection but it's still painful. I've only been using saline to clean nothing else. Any advice on what I can use to aide in the healing process. Also have you ever seen a tear heal back to original piercing size. Btw I got them pierced in September
About all you can do is monitor the piercing and hope for the best. If it seems like the piercing is moving or migrating, see your piercer. In some cases taping the wound together will help to to repair.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I've continued saline cleansing. Used waterproof plasters for a few days and just basically left it alone otherwise. It's looking good so far as if the tear is getting smaller. Thanks your vids are the best advice on this topic
Hi. Thanks for the video. I am sorry but I maybe overheard. My question is how will the nipple look like after taking the piercing out. Is it going to be same as before? Thanks:)
I think I have a high pain threshold, I got mine pierced a few days ago and they didn’t hurt, I got my septum pierced same time and I’d say they were the same pain level. Nipples are healing better than septum and septum hurts more than nipples lol my most painful piercing was my tongue, no regrets love them all 🖤🤘😝
I got mine done in October and I love them so much! I knew I'd pierce them at some point of my life, since middle school, so finally at the age of 21 I decided to get it. So far they are definitely more sensitive than before and it helped make my flat nips, a bit more "out there". Some swelling occurs around my period, but I think this will also calm down once it's healed. I had a little inflammation going on for a moment, but it went away after the oak bark soaks and I reacted very quickly. Thanks to covid I can go braless, which in my opinion helps with the healing process to some extent. Overall, they've been fun so far and I can't wait for them to be fully healed. An interesting thing is my piercer did them with a bioplast bar and titanium balls. The bar is interesting since it was cut to fit my nipple perfectly and allow for swelling, as well as I can come in January and get it shortened while healing, so the bar is not annoyingly long for the entire process, as with titanium bars. What do you think about this method? So far I don't have any problems with it, but after the piercing heals, I will definitely switch to a full titanium bar, preferably one that can only be unscrewed on one side, as I'm a bit paranoid with both sides being possible to unscrew. Last thing is that I did notice that one of my piercings definitely had to settle in the right place during the first couple of days, but has not moved since then.
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching. The main issue with plastic is there is no third party verification that it is biocompatible. The term bioplastic is only a name brand and has no meaning. So there is risks of toxins leaking out of the plastic into your body with long term exposure. Additionally, the plastic as a rougher surface that can damage the piercing or scratch easily. Also the flexibility of the tubing can cause the piercing not grow straight which can lead to migration and issues when normal metal jewelry is put in.
Got mine done yesterday and it does enhance the look of the nipple. They look gorgeous I love them. But the pain!! If you don’t have a high tolerance for pain it’s gonna hurt a lot. I have a high tolerance for pain, and my piercer told me took it like G 😂. What they say is true, the 2nd piercing does hurt a lot more than the 1st. Cuz I was like oh that’s it? Until they pierced my left nipple 🤦🏾♀️. If you truly want to get em pierced, go for it. You’ll like the end result, if you can get through the pain.
It is often normal but it can be a sign of allergic reactions to the jewelry material or aftercare product. Also the tissue drying out which is common if you are using anything other them premixed saline solutions and sprays.
Nope, it’s a very bad idea to take antibiotics when you do not have an infection under any circumstance. It won’t do anything to help, and you might end up killing off the good bacteria that your body needs to actually heal the piercing and keep you healthy.
Thank you for sharing your experience and motivations. I often have clients get nipple piercings because their nipples are "bashful". A majority of time this will end that issue and make the nipple more pronounced. Thank you for watching.
Wish I saw your video sooner, had my left nipple pierced with a bar bell initially and I don’t know if it was too superficial or what but seemed like bar bell was to heavy so I talk to my piercer and he putted a banana there, as you said it had issues but still had it fine for about 4 years then end up rejecting and had to take it out, I’m thinking about re opening it with a better piercer or one that tells me if it’s just not right for me (nipples too small or something) how long should I wait to re open it? Thanks you 👏🏻 love your videos
It is hard to say if the piercing can be done again without seeing the area. If it rejected the tissue may not be able to support a new piercing or the piercing will need to be done at a different angle to avoid the jewelry just traveling though the softer scar tissue.
I just got mine pierced and honestly the anxiety beforehand was worse than the actual pain. It hurt for like half a second and then it was done. I guess i got lucky bc the second was no more painful than the first! Lol Do yourself a favor and eat well beforehand. I waited until right beforehand an nearly passed out. If you have a good piercer they should have glucose tablets and water bottles at the ready just in case!
@@BodyPiercingTattooing your video was very helpful and informative. I love my piercings But I wish my piercer was more informative. That’s why I came to your video you had all the answers I was looking for.
I've wanted to do this for a while now. I'm done having babies and no more breast feeding so that's no issue. However, I am a swim instructor and I am in the pool 4-5 days/week. Can I still have this done and use waterproof bandages?
It would be best to wait until you can be out of the water for at least 6 months. Waterproof bandages can reduce the risks but they are not 100% effective. Also, they can damage the piercing and cause the adhesive to collect on the jewelry that could cause issues.
Not gonna lie: the clamp felt great, first needle felt just like any other piercing. Not too bad. Second clamp, again, great (I learned a lot about myself that day), and then OOOO I feel bad. It hurts, but not terribly, but I yelled in my piercers face. Left her a $20 tip from embarrassment!
Thank you for sharing your experience. A little yelling and maybe some swearing is prt of the piercing experience for a lot of people. Most piercers don't mind and a good tip is always appreciated.
Thank you for watching.
@Owen Matteo Instablaster :)
@Owen Matteo No problem =)
when i got mine done i said to they piercer before hand 'just so you know i may swear' and he said it wasnt a problem, i effed a few times, each time he double checked i was okay!
We are all used to the swearing and it helps you get through it, them we all encourage it.
I got my piercings done two week again after binge watching all the videos from this chanel. This guy is amazing!! belive in him!🤩
Congratulations on your new piercings!!! I'm happy to hear that you are finding the videos helpful and informative. Thank you for watching.
this video really helped me to decide to get mine pierced. i finally did it yesterday and super happy with the results. definitely did not hurt as much as i was expecting. first was about 4/10 but the second was a high 7/10, but over SO quickly. the piercer was also really helpful in making me feel comfortable because i was extremely nervous walking in to the appointment
Congratulations on your new piercings. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Have they healed well for you? Which side did you get done first?
Maybe not a typical situation but I had my nipples pierced for about 4 years before I became a mother. I wanted to breastfeed and didn’t want to lose my piercing so I would take it out and feed daily of course and just put jewelry back in daily or sometimes weekly without any issues. I breastfeed for two years and still have my piercings 🥰
Everyone is different but often leaving the jewelry out for a few hours can cause the piercings to close. I'm happy to hear that you were able to keep the piercings and thank you for sharing your experience.
I got my nipples pierced and he did it free hand. Haven’t had any issues. He has 20 years of experience and is licensed with the American Piercing Association. I’ve never seen someone so skilled and made me feel so comfortable. He answered all my questions and was very informative. This piercing has boosted my confidence so much and I love my breasts so much more now.
Congratulations and here is hoping they give you years of enjoyment.
Had mine for 4 months now! The piercing itself hurt like hell but the healing process was a breeze. Didn’t feel any pain after the first 24 hours. I love them so much!!
Chances a e it is not. When in doubt see your piercer and have them take a look.
I got mine done two days ago, while on my cycle. So far so good. The piercing pain was less than I expected, 4/10. Afterwards that day it just felt like I had nipple clamps on (pleasurable for me). They’re a little crooked but it gives it a little character. My piercer made me feel comfortable and did a good job overall.
I got mine pierced back on Saturday, so far it seems everything is healing well. I’ve been watching this guy and his videos made me more confident while getting this body part pierced. I’m going to see my piercer in early June and I’m hoping he’ll be able to tell me that it’s healed enough to safely go swimming while I’m on vacation. I got two coming up one in mid June and mid September.
Congratulations and glad to be of help. Thank you for watching.
How have the healed? Any tips you learned?
Avoid contact and saline.
Everything has healed great. Still get some crusties from time to time but other than that. They healed up great
Good to hear.
I had mine done 6 months ago and they weren't nearly as painful as I expected from friends stories! My whole city went into lockdown a week after for 4 months so there was no way to downsize until three weeks ago. Thankfully no irritation bumps happened somehow! My piercer did them freehand since he's been doing them that way for 10 years and they're done perfectly :D
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching
I'm about 3 months into my healing process & I've developed a new nemesis. Loose threads. I thought i knew pain until the day i caught my nip nop on a loose thread as i was getting dressed. I genuinely thought i was going to die that day. Thankfully I'm still alive and healing is going well but sweet baby jesus catching my lovely lady lumps unexpectedly is a nightmare i live more frequently than I'd like to admit
First off, Ouch. I had this really old NOFX t-shirt and I kept getting mine caught in the holes. I learned to pull the front of the shirt away from the piercings as I slid in on and off.
Mine was a loofah in the shower! I saw stars that day, good lord, lol
I got mine done today and I love them! I was terrified but it actually wasn’t that bad. The first one was as solid 4/10 but the second one was definitely an 8/10. They hurt for about an hour after but now I don’t even feel any pain or discomfort
same! I got them done today and don’t feel much anymore, though my nipples are very sensitive so i’m happily surprised! Hope the healing is going well so far 💕
Love the look in his eye when he said don’t touch it. I’ve seen the same look on my piercers face 😂
We practice that look.
I LOVE mine! I got the July 4, 2020. Let's see reasons 1, 3,4....several of my coworkers have them and no one knew until we all were talking about them one night at work (the beauty of working nightshift).
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.

Well, when you are ready set up an appointment by going to Axiompiercing.com/booking. I'll be honored to help you through the process.
Had mine done as 60th birthday present to myself.
Getting mine done tomorrow so I’ve been watching so many videos on pain level and care for it. Just came across this video and I feel confident/comfortable now hearing from a pro.🖤 Thank you and I will most definitely do a follow up comment after.
Glad to help. Good luck with your piercings and let us know how they turn out.

@@brandybaber6086 I know this was seven months ago, but how did it go? Which one did you do first?
@@ryanm7249 I had gotten my nose done and nipples at the same time, I ended up getting pregnant so I wasn’t able to keep them 🥺 I plan on getting them redone once the baby is out and I no longer produce milk.
@@brandybaber6086 congratulations on your new baby! I pray you have a smooth pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby!
Hi DaVo, thank you producing such comprehensive, educational content for free! It really helps people make informed decisions before getting their piercings (that's why I went ahead and got my septum done a few years ago, and currently considering more!).
Where I live, it's hard to find piercing shops with such high levels of professionalism like you've made me aware of through your videos (such as offering a thorough consultation before the procedure, providing detailed/written information on aftercare etc.), or they charge a ridiculous amount (I forked out more than a hundred bucks for the septum)-because getting pierced by a gun at a jewelry shop is a far more common experience in my country.
It's also obvious that you have such a passion for what you do and always eager to stay up to date, which is so wonderful.
Btw, did you ever mention what the best size/gauge of jewelry to get the nipples pierced with? I might have missed it.
Thanks and hope you have a great Christmas! :)
You're welcome and yes, I would like to see the standards of the industry improve. I think that starts with the clients expecting more.
Usually with nipple piercings 14-10g is the standard. Width on barbells 7/16-5/8 on average. It all comes down ro the width of the nipple.
Yeah I get you there I live in Wichita Kansas and it is hard to find a very professional piercing spot either they’re super cheap super uneducated, or they’re on the other end of the spectrum and they’re super super super expensive I forked out more than $200 for a septum ring, then he pierced it with a clicker and it’s swelled too much, and I had issues with it it’s finally healed now and it’s beautiful I love it but it was way way more expensive than it should’ve been. And to my knowledge you’re not supposed to pierce a septum with a clicker
Yes you are right, it shouldn't be pierced with a clicker or hinged ring. A lot of it comes down to the jewelry they stock. I try to stock many options from good quality affordable jewelry to very expensive gold and everything in between. It means a bigger investment but not everyone can spend $200 on a piercing. Also a simple Titanium circular barbell is going to make for a much easier heal.
i got mine done 3 days ago for my birthday 🩷 the pain was unbelievable. i knew it was going to hurt but i did end up shouting quite loud 😭😭 luckily my piercer is so lovely and professional, she made me feel so comfortable! they ached for around an hour afterwards but it was so so so worth it! it’s made me so much more confident in my body. if you’re thinking about getting them, go for it! the actual piercing lasts for not even 20 seconds, the rest is just getting comfy, putting dressings on etc. thanks so much for this video !
Congratulations on your new piercings and thank you for sharing your experience. Here's hoping they give you years of enjoyment.
Went here yesterday to get mine done, then you pop up on my RUclips recommendation! Crazy! So far so good but only one day in. lol
That is strange that the video came up. Take care to the piercing and you should have an easy heal. If something does not seem right, get ahold of me. Happy healing.
What good timing! I'm currently considering re-piercing. I got them done originally 4 years ago and had to take them out 2 years ago. I didnt have great luck healing them the last time but I was in my early 20s and not as diligent as I should have been!
I did swear it was a piercing I would never do again, but after so many years I seem to have forgotten how bad they hurt 😅🤣
Thanks for this video and such great info!
You are welcome and if you do decide to re-pierce, good luck and let us know how it turns out.
I’m 47. Had my kids. Always wanted them. Going for it :)
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
It depends on if you feel that your body looks better with piercings than without them. You have the right to alter your own body how you wish. It's my experience that people that get nipple piercings are not chasing trends and are rarely doing them for someone else.
@@trustyourgut5092 what about loving your body and simply wanting a piercing 😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@trustyourgut5092 can't people like you mind your business?! lmaooo let people do what they want and "trust their guts".
@@trustyourgut5092 I’m trusting my gut and it says to get mine done
I find myself bumping and hitting them on things 🤦🏽♀️ and that’s when they hurt again , I’m 6months in and I love them , thx for the video 💕💕💕💕.
Yes, they are prone to that. I will say that it fades over time or we all start to instinctively avoid contact. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
thanks for another informative video. i'm someone who got pierced with curved barbells and my piercer's reason was because i have slightly inverted nipples and the curve would help mitigate any potential pressure that the inversion may put against the piercing. the reasoning was sound to me so i went with it, and healing has been fine! when i downsized from the piercing jewelry, my piercer still used a pierced barbell for the same reason just to be safe, and things have still been fine. i'm at 9 months now (some grumpiness but still overall great) and i've just ordered some 1/2" straight barbells to be my final jewelry, and i'm looking forward to it!
I'm glad you found the video informative. The main issue with curved barbell is they tend to set with the top of the curve. I get what they are thinking but unless the curve stays inward, a straight barbell would have been a better option.
Now, it the barbells are in fact sitting with curve inward, it would best to stick with the curves, if they are pointing downward a straight barbell is a better option.
I didnt wanna ever wear a bra after mine it kinda hurt to compress them. Pain was not bad really. Especially the first one, it was a pinch. Go get it if you wanna be more confident in your breasts. And ofc ALWAYS CLEAN YOUR PEIRCINGS. EVEN AFTER THEY ARE HEALED.💓
I always suggest you experiment with clothing to figure out what works best for you. Thank you for sharing and watching.
I’m getting mine done on my 18th birthday in 16 days! I’m so excited yet so nervous! I’m going to my regular piercer

@@BodyPiercingTattooing def worth it! Just got them and I'm so happy with the shop and professionalism that my piercer has. But def not getting any other piercings anytime soon. Pain out of 10 would have to be an 8 (but just the initial pierce with the needle) after that its smooth sailing. Thanks for the video!
Went to the emergency room and had to have them taken out 😩 but got them repierced yesterday ☺️ my absolute favorite piercings ✨✨
Congratulations on getting your piercing back. Thank you for watching.
i was always kinda scared of getting mine pierced but i saw somewhere that you could lose sensitivity, you saying otherwise just gave me the green light
Everyone has different experiences but usually it is more on the positive side.
I got my nipples pierced about 3 weeks ago the healing process went amazingly well so far, I think a little too well. No swelling even immediately after, no liquid coming out, no pain whatsoever(only when i got them pierced) and no crustiness. But i noticed that one is a little bit more deeply done than the other and i think that the piercer did that so it looks more even(one of my nipples is not exactly straight and even), so it’s a bit close to the areola. Should I worry?
I wouldn't worry about it unless it is deeply in the areola. At this point don't fix what is not broken.
I'm going tomorrow to get both nipples pierced. I do have my heart set on rings but will happily concede to a barbell if my piercer strongly recommends it. These tutorials have been amazing (I've watched a ridiculous amount of them!). I feel a lot more empowered and confident about the questions I should ask and the red flags I should keep an eye out for. Thanks!
Do it,if done properly you won't regret it.Had mine done as early 60th birthday present to myself.Hurts like fuck for a few seconds.
It's best to heal out with barbells and then wait an additional 6 months before changing to rings.
Ask about their experience, sterilization methods and to see examples of their work.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Congratulations on your new piercings Clive.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing Thank you for the hygiene/healing information.
@@clivenewman4810 That's an amazing gift to yourself. You should think about getting a Prince Albert for your 65th birthday 😉
I got mine in February of 2023. I was worried it would be an issue because my nipples were already pretty sensitive. If they were touched a certain way I’d start feeling nauseous and uncomfortable. Fortunately, the piercings have actually helped to make that particular activity more pleasurable more often than not. I haven’t regretted the piercing at all. I clean it every day in the morning and check it in the evening. At 5-6 months there really wasn’t any build up to even clean the second time. Definitely the most painful piercing I’ve gotten though. The only one I ever yelled for. I suspect it’ll be the only one of any future ones too 😅
Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm happy to hear that they have improved the sensation.
Thank you for this. Had unsuccessful piercings years ago. I’m realizing some of the mistakes made by the piercer and myself now.
Well information can make a huge difference. Especially with piercings and healing them. If you decide to do them again, good luck and let us know how it turns out.
My septum was more painful than my nipples. The most painful thing is the clamp! Go for it!! Its like a 4/10 on the pain scale for the actual piercing itself.
One more reason to pierce the septum freehand with a needle receiving tube.
Wow really my septum was a pinch. It really depends on your body! Enjoy your piercings
i had the same exact experience! getting my nipples done hurt in the moment, but not terribly. my septum on the other hand was a solid 6 or 7. my ex piercer went straight through cartilage and oh my lord it hurt so badly, it’s my most painful piercing by FAR
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I agree, got my septum that way, its perfectly straight and I barely felt it, actually had to ask the piercer whether the needle is already through (I always close my eyes :D ) Now thinking of nipple piercings, so far yours is the most educative video thanks ❤ I am a bit more on a yes side now...
Getting mine done today. Super nervous/ excited. Wanted them done since I was 20. We shall see how it goes!
I'm a little late, but how did it turn out?
^ i'm even later but i'm also curious lol how'd it go?
I recommend using a breast shells during the healing process to keep it from touching anything, especially while wearing a bra of tight clothing. I wore these while working at fedex , where I literally had boxes and other things hitting my chest 10hrs straight. Lol. And not once did I experience pain . By the way breast shells are hard plastic half spheres on one side and soft silicone on the otherside that lays flat on the breast and has a cut out circle that the nipple fits into. Breast shells are for woman who are breast feeding and the breast shells catches the milk that comes out between feedings. Also they are not noticeable in sports bras with pads . They should also never be used with push up bras.
Thank you for the suggestion and sharing your experience,
Thanks for the great info!!!!
ll be 42 in Oct and I'll be finished with Nursing School!!

Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
I loooove this piercing! Did it almost a year ago, both were not very painful, at least less than my helix (still remember that day…ugh). Love the look, all kinds of jewellery and the massive confidence boost.
Edit: sometimes it takes a bit more time to find the right jewellery because I need larger barbells than 5/8”. But it’s not a problem for me at all.
Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying your piercings.
5/8 is a pretty common size for most barbells. I guess it really depends on what you are looking for but there is a lot of the more designs on the market than there used to be. Especially the threadless jewelry which opens up a lot of different options for ends.
I've been preferring no bras or restrictions when I do use them it bothers the piercing.
Everyone is different and often you have to find what works for you
Thank you for being so professional on this topic!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Thank you for informative video. got my nipples pierced about a week ago and they are doing well, swelling done and hist a lil crust. pain level for me was a 6/10. but afterwards piece of cake . You are amazing and the reason i got my vertical labret done instead of the labret . Good work sir ✌🏽😁
Congratulation on your new piercings and I'm happy to hear that they are doing well. Glad to hear that you have found the videos useful. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.

I watched this video when you first posted it I just started working at a piercing shop and wanted to experience the feeling because everyone kept asking I must say mine didn’t hurt . I thought being that my nipples are sensitive it was going to be unbearable I guess I spiked my self out lol I suggest to everyone get them pierced at least once I love mine. Can’t wait till they are fully heal

@@ryanm7249 they healed perfectly and I got the left side done first then she hurried and did the right
I just got mine redone yesterday. I first had them done when I was probably 20/21 and had them for probably about a year before one got infected and I took them out (which I now know was the worst thing I could have ever done and I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. Thank goodness Antibiotics exist). I’m now 26 and had been wanting to get them redone so I finally did. My second experience was way different the second time around. 1st go around clamps were used and the piercer used rings which I absolutely hated because it was so I comfortable. It also led to be buying barbells from Spencer’s just to get the rings out. This time I used a completely different shop and guy. He did it free handed and he was so knowledgeable. He said barbells were the way to go and he also gave great after care instructions and explained everything as he did it. My second experience was 10/10. They’re straight and look amazing! The difference in price between the two experiences was DRASTIC but you really get what you pay for. I would describe the pain as a burning sensation but it goes away soon after they’re done. If you are considering the piercing I would highly suggest it! Also the shop sold the spray recommended in this video and I highly suggest! Much better than the hydrogen peroxide I used when I was younger ( I was uninformed and was given 0 instructions my first go around).
Congratulations on your new piercings, thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Was there any scarring/bumps/holes/change in color where the piercing was inserted after removing them the first time?
I don't have much feeling so this has always been on my bucket list! Question does mediation affect overall healing time?
Being healthy and reducing stress will always improve and speed up healing. So I do believe it would.
I've been considering getting mine done. My only concern is that I sleep on my front so not sure how well that would work out. Good to know you're in Des Moines! Definitely know where to go if I choose to do it 😁
You really want to avoid sleep on the piercings. It is best to sleep on your side or figure out a way to make sure the piercings are not in contact with your bedding.

Mine too and what due me to piercing.
Thanks for this informative video, it's literally a life saviour! I've got a question related to working out - isn't the friction of jumping around and moving a lot going to cause problems? Thanks in advance
With exercise, it's going to be more about reducing the movement for the first few weeks.
I do have a question abut re-piercing. I had to abandon my nipple piercings but I have been thinking recently about getting them done again. I'm not sure what I should expect from that, or if I should even attempt it, I would love to know your thoughts on this! Thank you!
If the piercings were healthy when you removed the jewelry, re-piercing shouldn't be an issue. Scar tissue can be a little more sensitive and the piercing may be slightly uncomfortable but not too much. Sometimes it may bleed a little more. Otherwise should be about the same as the last time.
I watched this video before getting them pierced yesterday. It hurted but it was not that painful how I thought!

One day after I got my nipple pierced I realised that the jewellery is very thin. Turned out that the piercer pierced me with 1,2mm curved barbell so I called her back to ask if she hasn't done it by mistake, because as far as I know female nips should be pierced with 1,6mm needle. She told me that it's very uncommon to pierce them with such a thick neede and that I could choose how thick the needle would be except she forgot to tell me that. Now I don't know if I should have them repierced with 1,6mm or leave it like that. Please, somebody help me because I'm stumped
14g or 1.6mm is the thinnest used in most cases. The piercing cam be healed with thinner jewelry but I would suggest stretching the piercing after it has seasoned. Also straight barbells would be a better option.
Here is the deal if the piercings are healing and there is no issues, leave them be.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing Thanks so much for your advice, I think I'll try to stretch it once enough time passes 😌
I’ve done all my piercings with 1.2mm and then used a taper pin to stretch them out to 1.6mm once the initial healing has occurred. In my experience, the larger size bars tend to be less uncomfortable.
I just got mine done this morning. I watched all your videos on nipple piercings a million times to prepare myself. They hurt like hell. Whoever said “it’s not as bad as you think it is” is lying 🥲 The first one was definitely the worst. Right now my boobs hurt and my piercings burn a bit but they don’t hurt nearly as much as I thought they would at this point. I’m any case, they look bomb!
Everyone has a different experience. I'm sorry yours wasn't the best. Though from your response, I'm guessing that you feel it was worth it. Congratulations, thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Perfect timing! I was thinking of getting mine pierced! How do you feel about nipple shields? Obviously I would wait OVER A YEAR to make sure those bad boys are all healed out, but I've heard some piercers say nipple shields are the devils work, and others say they're completely fine as long as they aren't too heavy and tug on the piercing. What are your thoughts?
I should have mentioned them but this video is rather long. You should mention that you plan on wearing nipple Shields at the time of the piercing.
The main issue is that a majority of them are one size fits all and as I'm sure you are aware, the anatomy of the nipple and the breast varies greatly. So they tend to be ill fitting and cause pressure outward against the piercing.
I always suggest wearing them only for short periods of time. Special occasions basically. Avoid anything made out of silver and sterling.
I’m from Iowa city and I’m definitely booking an appointment with you to get mine done
I look forward to it. To book an appointment go to Axiompiercing.com/booking
I've heard you can go swimming with them after 2 or 3 months as long as you clean them right after and wear water proof bandage just wanted to know what your thoughts were on this? Also hands down the best video I've seen on this! ty so much for all the great info!
Commenting bc I have the same question!
I do not suggest swimming until the piercing is completely healed(6-12 months). It is the only way to ensure that they will not become infected. A waterproof bandage may reduce exposure to the water but they aren't 100% effective. Also, the adhesive can damage the piercing and collect on the jewelry.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing ty so much!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Im wanting a nipple piercing and appreciate how informative your videos are. Im a size D; do you see more problems with larger breasts?
Not really. The only issue is if there is a lot of outward pressure on the nipples which adds a slight risk to migration and rejection. Otherwise they should heal fine.
Hi! I'm doing both of my nipples piercing on either June 18th or June 19th 2021. Nervous and excited at the same time!!
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I will! :)
Got mine done in June they are healed and healed fairly quickly but yes I do have grumpy phases
Hi, you mentioned that you should keep something in the piercing at all times only removing to change them out; what about when having a mammo or MRI's and they want you to take them out...Would they close up that quickly??
Your best bet is to wear glass retainers.
Thank you very much!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
I love hearing your channel!! You are so good and give lots of information. I was also was looking for information on PA for my boyfriend- and he’s not cut - he’s from England.
Before I knew him he said he had his nipples pierced twice. - getting PA - the place said they can make it work since he’s
uncut. Your awesome
With uncut it really depends on his anatomy. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and thank you for watching.
So after getting them pierced how will it be with the more intimate act. is there something one cant do anymore or how long would you have to wait?
Also how does one now that you hace the right anatomy?
Thanks in advance ^°^
Your partner will need to avoid contact with the piercings and the area around them until they are healed.
i wanna get my nipples pierced so bad like i have wanted them done for forever but im terrified of the pain
The pain will likely not be as bad as you think and it's a short amount of pain for a lifetime of enjoyment.
I get mine done 2 years ago, now 6 months ago I got them taken out because of surgery. I’m thinking of getting them again but are a bit scared of it hurting more or complications with scar tissue? What are you experience with re-piercing?:)
Sometimes there can be a slight bit more discomfort but not as bad as you think it will be. Usually they heal faster the second time around or at least the heal seems easier.
For future reference, you can wear glass retainers and it won't cause issues during surgery.
Thank you for making this video!
My personal experience with this piercing:
Mine are a little over 3 months old at this point, with a pretty smooth healing process so far. I was pierced with 12g straight barbells, internally-threaded and implant-grade titanium. The piercing itself was, quite frankly, shockingly painful to the point I thought I was going to have to back out halfway. I think my piercer did not use forceps, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had and I just completely forgot; I was pretty nervous going into the piercing, and once the pain started the rest of my concentration completely scattered. Despite the possibly free-hand piercing, I see nothing wrong with the final placement; the piercings are not uneven in any way I can see, are appropriately at the base of my nipples, and (at the recommendation of my piercer) are angled to visually complement my anatomy, which I am very happy for. But even though I love how they turned out, I can easily say that the pain of the piercing experience is singularly the reason that I would never ever get them re-pierced.
In terms of healing, I haven't had many issues at all, but have had to make a couple expected lifestyle changes. I was a nearly religious stomach-sleeper before getting the piercings, but obviously have had to unlearn that. I've also discovered that I am much more comfortable wearing some type of sports bra at all times of the day than I am going bra-less, because it helps to have that bit of a barrier between my piercings and everything else. I have had little to no pain or soreness since the first couple days after the piercing except during my period, and even then it's nothing that a bit of ibuprofen can't soothe. I was a little nervous about how the healing would go because even though my helix piercing (~2yo) is very docile, my earlobe piercings (~6yo & 3yo) act up a lot. But I am happy that so far these piercings are being nice to me.
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for detailing your experience and watching.
so sports bras aren't going to cause irritation from pressing on the piercing ?
No they tend to limit movement which limits discomfort.
I have to wear a stab proof vest a few day a week. Will that be a problem with healing?
It depends on how tight it is. I have had a number of clients that worked in law enforcement and they never had issues with vests.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you!! Turned 41, and it’s time to rock my body. Got to love the skin your in!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Need piercers like you here in Florida! I've gotten MANY piercings and most were done wrong by so called professionals.
I'm sure there are at least a few in Florida that share my passion. The first step toward getting better piercers is clients demanding more.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing very true! The thing about not being a professional is not knowing what to ask or look for. "Everyone" is "professional" when they're in a shop and that's certainly a huge misconception. If only they all RUclips videos like you, we'd know that they really know their stuff. I personally look for all the basic necessities of a shop/piercer: hygiene and cleanliness, credentials, a portfolio, reviews etc. The thing about that too is, the popular shops normally care the least because they have sooo many customers (in my experience) and the smaller shops don't care enough by the looks of things. Other than that, how do you know the RIGHT piercer from the wrong piercer 🤔
I'm going to make an updated version of the how to choose your piercer. In the mean time, set up a consultation before getting pierced. If they are worth their weight in salt, they will be willing to take a few minutes and sit down with you. The great thing about finding these videos and others is you are more educated. So ask lots of questions. Even ones that you know the answer to. Also ask others what their piercing experiences have been like.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing 😁😁😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 PERFECT! Thank you again soooo much and I'm turning your post notifications ON to look out for that video! 😎 I'm gonna wait to get my nipples pierced now.
Any advise for repiercing nipples that were previously pierced and have completely healed over?
The key is to let the tissue heal back to as normal as you can. Usually best to wait at least 2 months after you removed the jewelry. Otherwise the experience maybe a little easier because you know what to expect.
My brow piercing rejected, but I was told that happened because the bar was straight not curved. I want to get my nipple pierced but worried it will reject. Ive had other piercings but there only my ears and bellybutton.
If the piercing was done with the incorrect jewelry, it will often have issues. Also eyebrow piercings are a great deal more prone to rejection.
never heard anyone say it but with mine it let in bacteria and i developed multiple cysts/lumps in my milk glands. please if you have them done do regular self exams
Milk duct infection are rare with nipple piercings. Understand that first you would have to introduce a pathogen that would cause the infection. It is why we stress cross contamination prevention so much.
Thank you so much for such informational videos! They really have helped! Just had a question about my nipple piercings. I got them done about three weeks ago and they seem to be healing fine, no bleeding or discomfort. But one has been healing into my skin, the ball seems to sink into my skin and I sometimes have to push the other side to get it out. It’s appearing to make a hole into that side of the piercing so just wondering if I should get a longer bar or if there’s something else I should do? Thank you in advance!!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Yes, you may need a longer barbell. I would suggest seeing your piercer and have them put in something longer or with different ends.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you so much for responding! I went to my piercer but he said it wouldn’t be necessary to change them and that they looked normal. But the ball of the piercing continues to get lost in my skin and it started bleeding yesterday. I don’t like the placement of it either so I just want to remove it at this point. Would it be possible to repierce it in the future and is it necessary to have it taken out by a piercer? Thank you!!
Should the client be standing, sitting, or laying down when doing this piercing? I’ve heard mixed things 😅
They should aoways be marked with the client standing. I find it is more comfortable with the client to be reclined. With their body fully supported, they are more stable and it reduces the risk of the client moving.
Hi, i have had 2 kids and breastfed both. Because of that my nipples are slightly droopy when they are not erected. Do you think that getting them pierced might correct this?
There is no 100% in life and piercing but they may appear more pronounced and erect. Also I have had clients in the past say that it help regain some of the sensitivity they had lost after breast feeding.
Tell me about mammograms. I’m 46 and I get them yearly. Well, I have to take my ring out?
It really depends on the tech but there really is no reason that you would need to remove them.
Curious, does the second one hurt more even if you wait a few weeks or months between having them done. I'm just wondering if the phenomenon of the body reacting more severely is short term. I've wanted this done for almost 20 years and went to do it in Sturgis but my nipples were too large for the barbells they had on hand. My brother in law got them done instead and had a horrible experience which scared me away for awhile.
The second hurt more is more about how your body registers pain warnings. After the first piercing, the nervous system is on high alert.
However, it is common that one side is more sensitive than the other. So you may notice one hurts more than the other regardless of when you do it.
Chances are it is not going to be as bad as you think it is going to be. Also male piercings tend to be more painful than female nipples.
Could you be able to use numbing appointment before getting the piercing
It makes little or no difference. Also it can cause swelling which could make the placement off and tends to be petroleum-based. Which makes getting a proper hold on the area and marking difficult.
It isn't going to hurt as much as you think and the part that hurts isnt the surface.
Hello, thanks for your informative video🥰. I do have a question though. I just went through the comments and read that another women had some bioplast (plastic) barbells with titanium balls. I have the same. I’m afraid now because I read your answer. But when can I switch my jewellery to another one? Don’t you have to wait a certain time until you can change the piercing they pierced you with (for the first time)? And do you recommend a specific material :)?
Thanks in advance!
Okay, so I just reached the point where you talked about the material. So I have an answer to that question now. But I have another two question now 😅. When do I know whether my piercing is healed or not? And when can you start touching the nipples in the bed room again:)? Thanks!
It is always best to wait until the piercing is healed before changing the jewelry. At this point if it isn't causing issues leave it be.
When you he piercing finishes its first stage of healing, the piercing holes will pull inward, the discharge will reduce or stop and the jewelry will move freely through the piercing. When in doubt see your piercer and have them take a look. We love seeing the results of our work and happy to tell you that it is healed or give it more time.
You should avoid contact until the piercing is healed.
You
@@BodyPiercingTattooing thanks for helping :D!!!

Do you think seamless rings in nipple piercings would still be considered choking hazards?
More than likely the least risky. However, it brings up the question of whether the jewelry would damage the child's mouth. Thst would need further research about the child's development. Also often a large ring is need. So just the size of the jewelry could be an issue.
Compared to the vertical hood piercing... how much would nipple piercings hurt?
Not as bad as you think.
Im getting mine done next Saturday. Im EXTREMELY nervous but i want them done so so sooooo bad
The most common reaction is that it isn't as bad as they thought it would be. You can get through it. Good Luck and let us know how it turns out.
@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you for the encouragement and the educational video!!!
Thank you so much for this video!! Very informative and helpful. I had additional questions about females with larger breasts. My nipples sit a little lower, due to gravity (as my chest is 40DDD). Are nipple piercings still an option for me? Or will there be higher risk involved with the piercing itself and/ or heal time? 🤔😅
Thanks in advance!
There is little or no difference. The only thing that might cause an issue is if the weight is putting too much pressure on the nipple. Making them more like an inverted nipple.
Haha it was so painful to get😅😆 but i didn’t get my adrenaline up before so that may be the reason haha! 100% worth it tho!!😍
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
How should double piercings be done? I have them but I had to go into my areola to get the vertical behind the horizontal and now I'm worried for my future milk production.
They should have been both through the nipple only. If they had to go into the areola, you may not have the right anatomy.
Hey my nipple piercing got hooked on the door a couple weeks ago and ripped, not completely but significantly. There's no more bleeding, no infection but it's still painful. I've only been using saline to clean nothing else. Any advice on what I can use to aide in the healing process. Also have you ever seen a tear heal back to original piercing size. Btw I got them pierced in September
About all you can do is monitor the piercing and hope for the best. If it seems like the piercing is moving or migrating, see your piercer.
In some cases taping the wound together will help to to repair.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing I've continued saline cleansing. Used waterproof plasters for a few days and just basically left it alone otherwise. It's looking good so far as if the tear is getting smaller. Thanks your vids are the best advice on this topic
Fantastic, I'm glad to hear that it is improving.
Hi. Thanks for the video. I am sorry but I maybe overheard. My question is how will the nipple look like after taking the piercing out. Is it going to be same as before?
Thanks:)
It depends on how long you have the piercings but usually the nipple will appear erect and may increase in size slightly.
I think I have a high pain threshold, I got mine pierced a few days ago and they didn’t hurt, I got my septum pierced same time and I’d say they were the same pain level. Nipples are healing better than septum and septum hurts more than nipples lol my most painful piercing was my tongue, no regrets love them all 🖤🤘😝
Congratulations on your new piercings and thank you for sharing what your experience was like.
I got mine done in October and I love them so much! I knew I'd pierce them at some point of my life, since middle school, so finally at the age of 21 I decided to get it. So far they are definitely more sensitive than before and it helped make my flat nips, a bit more "out there". Some swelling occurs around my period, but I think this will also calm down once it's healed. I had a little inflammation going on for a moment, but it went away after the oak bark soaks and I reacted very quickly. Thanks to covid I can go braless, which in my opinion helps with the healing process to some extent. Overall, they've been fun so far and I can't wait for them to be fully healed. An interesting thing is my piercer did them with a bioplast bar and titanium balls. The bar is interesting since it was cut to fit my nipple perfectly and allow for swelling, as well as I can come in January and get it shortened while healing, so the bar is not annoyingly long for the entire process, as with titanium bars. What do you think about this method? So far I don't have any problems with it, but after the piercing heals, I will definitely switch to a full titanium bar, preferably one that can only be unscrewed on one side, as I'm a bit paranoid with both sides being possible to unscrew. Last thing is that I did notice that one of my piercings definitely had to settle in the right place during the first couple of days, but has not moved since then.
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
The main issue with plastic is there is no third party verification that it is biocompatible. The term bioplastic is only a name brand and has no meaning. So there is risks of toxins leaking out of the plastic into your body with long term exposure.
Additionally, the plastic as a rougher surface that can damage the piercing or scratch easily. Also the flexibility of the tubing can cause the piercing not grow straight which can lead to migration and issues when normal metal jewelry is put in.
Got mine done yesterday and it does enhance the look of the nipple. They look gorgeous I love them. But the pain!! If you don’t have a high tolerance for pain it’s gonna hurt a lot. I have a high tolerance for pain, and my piercer told me took it like G 😂. What they say is true, the 2nd piercing does hurt a lot more than the 1st. Cuz I was like oh that’s it? Until they pierced my left nipple 🤦🏾♀️. If you truly want to get em pierced, go for it. You’ll like the end result, if you can get through the pain.
Congratulations on your new piercings and thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Thank you. Quick question. Is it normal for your nipples to itch through the healing process? Like annoyingly itch?
It is often normal but it can be a sign of allergic reactions to the jewelry material or aftercare product. Also the tissue drying out which is common if you are using anything other them premixed saline solutions and sprays.
Thank you for this,question; can I drink antibiotic to help it heal?
Nope, it’s a very bad idea to take antibiotics when you do not have an infection under any circumstance. It won’t do anything to help, and you might end up killing off the good bacteria that your body needs to actually heal the piercing and keep you healthy.
Antibiotics are not going to help at all. As @localcrybaby said you shouldn't take them unless you in fact have an infection.
I got my nips pierced because they always felt flat and i didnt like that. Now theyre more perky and now they look so cute and confident
Thank you for sharing your experience and motivations. I often have clients get nipple piercings because their nipples are "bashful". A majority of time this will end that issue and make the nipple more pronounced. Thank you for watching.
Wish I saw your video sooner, had my left nipple pierced with a bar bell initially and I don’t know if it was too superficial or what but seemed like bar bell was to heavy so I talk to my piercer and he putted a banana there, as you said it had issues but still had it fine for about 4 years then end up rejecting and had to take it out, I’m thinking about re opening it with a better piercer or one that tells me if it’s just not right for me (nipples too small or something) how long should I wait to re open it? Thanks you 👏🏻 love your videos
It is hard to say if the piercing can be done again without seeing the area. If it rejected the tissue may not be able to support a new piercing or the piercing will need to be done at a different angle to avoid the jewelry just traveling though the softer scar tissue.
I just got mine pierced and honestly the anxiety beforehand was worse than the actual pain. It hurt for like half a second and then it was done. I guess i got lucky bc the second was no more painful than the first! Lol Do yourself a favor and eat well beforehand. I waited until right beforehand an nearly passed out. If you have a good piercer they should have glucose tablets and water bottles at the ready just in case!
Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
Which side did you get done first? I hope they're healing well aned that you're loving them!
Just got mines pierced and it hurt soo bad😱. But oh my God I love them they are so beautiful I can’t wait to buy new bars.
Congratulations on your new piercings. Sorry your experience was painful but it sounds like it was worth it. Thank you for sharing and watching.
@@BodyPiercingTattooing your video was very helpful and informative. I love my piercings But I wish my piercer was more informative. That’s why I came to your video you had all the answers I was looking for.
I've wanted to do this for a while now. I'm done having babies and no more breast feeding so that's no issue. However, I am a swim instructor and I am in the pool 4-5 days/week. Can I still have this done and use waterproof bandages?
It would be best to wait until you can be out of the water for at least 6 months. Waterproof bandages can reduce the risks but they are not 100% effective. Also, they can damage the piercing and cause the adhesive to collect on the jewelry that could cause issues.
