Janet Jackson nipple ring continues to create interest

Last year’s Super Bowl stunt shot the Janet Jackson nipple ring to notoriety and fame in a few quick seconds of exposure on national television, and body piercing got more attention than it’s ever had before. Even today, search engines report that there are thousands of searches done for the Janet Jackson nipple ring every day.

Obviously, while some people were offended by the display of the Janet Jackson nipple ring, others thought, “Cool nipple shield! I wonder where she got that?” And not many people had the opportunity to ask Janet herself where she got the sunburst design nipple shields she was wearing that night.

The now justifiably famous Janet Jackson nipple ring style, which resembles a sun with wavy sun rays radiating out from the center, is still one of the most popular styles available. (Okay, if you want to get technical, the nipple ring she wore was a standard barbell, the sunburst was actually a shield, but when someone talks about “the Janet Jackson nipple ring, what do we all picture? That’s right – that big old sunburst!)

It is one of many styles of the most common kind of nipple shield. These nipple shields fit over the nipple itself and are held in place by the barbell that goes through the nipple and sometimes through the shield as well. So when you think of the Janet Jackson nipple ring, remember that what the fuss was all about was really a nipple shield.
