Pierced nipples

In My Humble Opinion
21

Don’t have one myself, though I was very vaguely considering it for awhile… but… no. My ex-bf had his right one pierced, though, just your standard CBR, and oh my goodness was it hot. Maybe it was just on him, but it was the sexiest thing ever, IMO. ::sigh:: still kinda miss that boy sometimes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, and according to the glossary at bmezine.com (not linking because of the graphic pictures)…

There is a picture of it on the BME website, I’m sure you can find it pretty easy. Kinda creepy, IMO. ::shrug::

22

For those who are interested, there is a scene in the movie Tromeo and Juliet where an actress gets her nipple pierced on camera.

23

I had both done for a while, but now just my right one is pierced. It’s a copper colored ring with a tiger eye bead.

It hurt A LOT! And for days after I had it done. I like it. In the beginning, bumping into anything was pure torture, but it’s okay now.

Nice! If you had bars instead of rings, you could have hammerhead nipples!

Hehe… Surprise! “Hammerhead” is a good description for them. I’ll have to remember it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t have my nipples pierced, but my hubby does. He had both done about 3 years ago. From what he said, the first was bad, but the second one was worse (he knew what to expect and was anticipating the pain). He has not had increased sensitivity in his nipples and he doesn’t particularly like me playing with them. On the other hand, an old lover of mine had his left nipple pierced and would almost climb the ceiling if I barely touched it. I guess it depends on the individual. I can’t bring myself to get my nipples pierced. After having my navel and tongue done, I think that’s plenty of extraneous holes in my body.

26

I used to have my right nipple pierced. I didn’t think it hurt all that much, I actually watched the guy slide the needle thru. (Having my navel pierced hurt a LOT more.) I used to love having my nipple ring tugged on, but after having it a year, the hole actually started to tear, so it started healing all over again. I decided hell with it and took it out.

27

I’m trying to remove the mental image of some 70 year old with body piercings…
Seriously, do you consider the aging effect when you do these things???

[Disclaimer: I fainted when my brother pierced my ears when I was 12. Just reading the above posts made me pale and woozy.]

SouthernSky, unlike tattoos, piercings are not necessarily permanent. There will most likely be scar tissue left if you decide to let a piercing grow back in, but the aging effect is not a big factor. I’ve had piercings I’ve since ‘retired’ and you really can’t even tell I ever had them. (This is, assuming you’ve been pierced by a competant professional)

29

Thanks for the clarification. Just couldn’t get the picture of my grandma with nipple rings out of my mind. I’ve gone back and forth about a small tattoo, but haven’t found my “symbol” yet. Just think of all the old folks running around in a few years with tats reading “Born to be wild”…

Woozy again - have a good day, all.:eek:

A few years ago, a daily comic strip (Think it might have been Non Sequitur had one showing the graveside funeral for someone. The headstone read “Ran out of things to pierce”

31

My left one is pierced. I did it as a “souvenier” for my visit to San Francisco back in '96. I had it done at the “Gauntlet.” :smiley:

Yes, it hurt, but not that badly. It bled a little bit. And, unfortunately, I didn’t get much of an increase in sensitivity. shrug

32

Got 'em? SO got 'em? Yes, I have both done. SO has one.

How much do they hurt to get? I thought they both hurt about a 7 on a 10 scale, SO thought about a 3 on a 10 scale.

How do your nipples feel now that you have them, compared to before? Are they more sensitive? Less? More for me.

Does it make your nipples more or less erogenous? More.

What do you wear in them? Is it as easy to change them as earrings? Captive Bead Rings, never changed them. I can and do change my PA jewelry like earrings - several different styles of jewelry that I switch around a lot depending on mood.

Do you like them in your SO? Yes.

Left nipple done, and it hurt like hell! And for the next few weeks, whenever I caught it on something - oh boy! I remember being demonstrated on at a kung fu class and continually struck right on the piercing…

It took a few months to fully heal, but any real pain subsided quite quickly (unless I caught it on something!).

My nipple wasn’t particularly sensitive to begin with, and it is no different now.

Some women find it incredibly arousing though :slight_smile:

34

I had both mine pierced w/ 8gauge rings for a while. I loved them, but took them out after about six months when I had to move home (Was pretty sure the 'rents would freak when they saw them, since then, I’ve learned to tell them to f**k off, so, I’ll be getting them redone) I didn’t get a whole lot of increased sensitivity, but did get a new and differant and nice sensation from them. Mostly I found that my partners love playing w/ them. I had my navel done too, and that definitely became sensitive and is now one of my “spots” :wink: As for pain, the first time my piercer put me into a total trance, and I swear I didn’t feel a thing till it was done. The second time, I told her how much I love it, and she just kinda jammed the needle in, and it hurt like hell. But for me, piercing is all about the adrenaline rush. I have to have someone else drive me to the studio, otherwise, I get extreme road rage, and wanna drive really fast, and have to be kinda isolated, otherwise I try to get in fights.

Repiercing question: There is a little bit of scar tissue from my former piercings, will that interfer when I get them re-done? I’ll probably step it down to about ten gauges.

35

sirkle -

My right nipple is a 2nd piercing there, the first one migrated out. Scar tissue will not interfer with getting it redone (generally) but it may make it a slightly more painful experience as the scar tissue is much tougher and harder to get the needle through. I’d suggest massaging the tissue, preferably with Vitamin E oil or lotion, daily for a couple months prior to getting re-pierced. This should help break down and soften the scar tissue.

I’ve got one of my nipples done, I did it on HS spring break about 7 years ago. did it hurt? not when they did it, but I was really drunk and stoned when I did it(BTW, do not get anything pierced when drunk unless you really like to bleed). Once I sobered up, and yes I made the decision sober, not on a drunken whim, it hurt A LOT. but that was only for about two days or so. Since then, I’ve never had any problems with it, I don’t think I could bring myself to remove it now, its like part of my body. I’ve never regretted it.

37

oh yeah, to answer one of the questions I saw, yes my nipple is much more sensitive now. There is a huge difference between the one I did and the one that remains unpierced. I’d say getting my nipple pierced was worth it just for the fun that can be had with it now.

38

My right nipple is done. It hurt a little at first, but not too much more then an ear.

One thing I’ve noticed is it is more “perky” then the left nipple.

I keep a smallish ring in mine.

Sensitive? It feels about the same as the left nipple. I don’t notice much of a difference between the two.

My wife likes it. I wouldn’t mind one bit if she had one, or both, of hers done. I like the way it looks.

39

You ready for my TMI?

OK, I have been wanting to get my third nipple pierced for quite awhile now. I have a small extra nipple on the right side, about 3 inches below the normal one. It is fully-formed, but about half (maybe a third) the normal size. No, there is no ‘breast’ beneath it, it rests on top of a rib. My brothers both have them, as well as my sister (and hers is tiny and looks like a mole).

I have been thinking about getting it pierced now that I have lost so much weight (25 lbs since January 10! Only 5 to 8 more to go!). But I don’t know…Wifecat wouldn’t be for it I don’t think, and I don’t want to turn her off…We’ll see. I’d like her to get it done, but she is adamantly against piercing.

Why would I worry about what I’m going to look like when I’m 70? I’ve never understood this “logic” when people bitch about piercings or tattoos, especially piercings which are easily removed. To me, it’s like worrying about wearing polyester “old man” pants when I’m seventy, or having white hair. Who cares? I’ve got more important things to worry about than having piercings or tattoos when I’m 70.

I like to think that I’ll look back at all of my tattoos and remember exactly where I was and what my life was like at the time that I got it. I think it’ll be kind of fun to be an old man with tattoos, and having tattoos is the least of my aging-related worries.

For the record, I’ve had both nipples pierced twice at 12ga. They migrated out enough the first time that I took them out and got them repierced a year or so later, at which time I had enough scar tissue built up that both have stayed in just fine.

I got them pierced with rings, had the rings in for the first six weeks or so (it’s much easier to clean the new piercings with rings as opposed to barbells). Then I switched to barbells to avoid the migration issue. As an added bonus they seem less likely to get caught on things than rings. I’ve had them in for about six years now.

I thought they hurt a lot, in terms of piercings. They were the most painful piercings that I’ve ever had.

In order from most painful to least painful:

Nipples
Nostril
Labret
Septum
Earlobe
Prince Albert
Tongue (but the healing process hurt a lot)

I don’t have all of these anymore, but they’re what I’ve had over the years. Stretcing my ears was more painful than most everything but my nipples - I got them pierced at 12ga. (relatively thin wire) and used plugs to gradulally size them up to 2ga (about the thickness of the PaperMate ballpoint pen on my desk here).

As for sensitivity, they are more sensitive than they were before, and are much larger - I’m a guy (should be obvious based on the PA piercing). My wife digs 'em. But honestly they’re mostly decorative for me.

Anyone interested in piercing should check out BME for more info than you can probably handle. Trust me on that, especially if piercings freak you out.
