    I bet you wear barbed wire boxers too! Piercing a female nipple at 2.4 is bad enough, but a male nipple!!! I know the 2.4 looks cool, but there is a reason why 99.9% of all nipple jewellery measures 1.6mm. Pierce it, Heal it, Stretch it. much easier and kinder way to do it.

    Diameter is normally 1.6mm (or 14g) to our American cousins. Length, just take it out and use a ruler. Normal rule of thumb is size of nipple plus a mil or 2 for swelling (yes I know its healed but your nipples still swell !)

    I didn't know any better, they never healed. Took em out 2 years later. Pain was unreal.

    I'm very surprised to hear about a 2.4 nipple piercing. Most piercers won't pierce it any larger than a 1.6. Stretching up afterwards is realitively easy but the trauma of piercing it that size.... I'm not surprised you had problems with it.

    i had the same problems with my 1.6 nipple too, but not quite as epic. larger, and number than it started. i only had two tries at it, and both were a disaster.

    I'm thinking of getting both of mine done in Dublin city somewhere- would Snakebite be a good place to go or are there any other recommendations? I was also thinking of BodyShock maybe, but I'm not sure where they are located.
    Should I get them both pierced on the same day?
    The sea salt soak- do you just use regular bought-in-the-supermarket sea salt and add a little to water, yeah?

    Thanks! :)

    I would only recommend visiting Áine in Wildcat,St Stephens' Green Shopping Centre. She is professional,honest,open and bordering on OCD when it comes to hygiene. Even if it's just to consult her or query the procedure,I would really urge you to see her.

    Tell her I sent you,too!

    I'm not keen on Wildcat but thanks anyway. I think I'll probably go with Snakebite because someone told me Bodyshock has closed down and I've heard good things about Snakebite. :)

    Áine has moved to Galway and is soon opening her own studio, I believe called AWOL Tattoos and Piercings. Bodyshock are still very much in business, they've just moved premises to behind their old shop, on the same street as classic ink. Snakebite are always a good choice also.

    Bodyshock has reopened. I had a very bad experience in Snakebite and since then I have only ever visited Áine @ Wildcat.

    Whatever choice you make,enjoy. You'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago!

    @Will - Áine is still in Dublin,herself and her brother own and run the Galway business and she commutes regularly.
