    Can I just throw in a question here as well ? Doesnt merit a thread of its own.

    I've been considering getting my nipple pierced too - but I dont have very prominent nipples, even when they are aroused/cold. Could this make a difference or should I just go to my local piercer and see what they have to say ?

    It will definetly give them a more perky state. It won't make a difference when piercing them but as I said will give them a more defined look, whether you want that or not I dunno.

    Not that wouldnt really make a big difference to me. I just wasnt sure if it was possible to pierce "Flat" nipples or not, thanks Wilburt.

    They wouldnt be more likely to reject for those flat nipples would they ?

    Nah nipples very rarely reject, they're tough lil things! wouldnt worry about it :)

    I've had my nipple pierced for two years now and i think the skin where it's pierced has shortened considerably. My piercing is nearlly always hanging down now on one side. I have to kind of push it across if you catch my drift. Is this normal? Should i take it out before my nipple falls off.

    Obviously there is still a "nice" bit of skin there but when i got it done i couldn't see much of the bar now i can see a lot!

    Nipple piercings can change angle over time, mine did. to fix this you can put in a captive bead ring but it isnt guaranteed to fix the issue. your nipple wont fall off lol

    your nipple swelled a lot when you first got it pierced like everyones. its most likely fully healed now, so maybe a shorter barbell is in order or as i said the captive bead ring

    This is probably a silly question, but would nipple piercings affect breastfeeding later in life?

    Depends how old you are when you get em pierced and how deep they are pierced as far as i know. Generally if theyre done well shouldnt effect breastfeeding. just take out the bars when feeding the kid


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 938 ✭✭✭chuci


    shouldnt affect breast feeding at all.just take it out before you begin

    yes, it can. what age are you? according to steve in snakebite anyway, (who i would trust more than about any other piercer i've met), women's nipples are still developing in late teens, and getting it pierced before 20/21ish is potentially harmful. after that, get it done by a good piercer and you're sorted.

    Really? That's mad I didn't actually think the piercing went deep enough to affect it. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    it doesnt really, but because you're still developing up to a certian age, stuff is moving around inside and the piercing there can damage it. least, that's what steve in snakebite told me, so i took mine out, and have decided to get mine done for my 21st birthday, when it's definitely safe :P

    Hey, sorry to bump this thread but i just wanted to check in and say thanks again to Wilburt for the advice - got both my nipples done in Yakuza, Waterford today. First piercings. Heres hoping they heal up alright. Starting to get a bit tender now. I'd say trying to sleep with them tonight will be tough.

    Ill be interested to see my g/f's reaction, she didnt know I was getting them done :D:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    haha thanks a lot, there were others here too who contributed also, theyre to be thanked too :)

    make sure you dont tell your other mates, they'l nipple cripple you, you've not felt pain like it yet... :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    yep, nipple piercings are ot be kept secret at all costs, especially for guys. for the good of the piercing.
