Learning more about getting a nipple piercing
January 4, 2005

A nipple piercing is one of the few body piercings out there that
are easy to hide. Unlike body piercings done to the tongue, eyebrow,
lip, and labret, nipple piercings are easily hidden. No matter what
you do by day, chances are you can have pierced nipples. Celebrities
like Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera have helped to popularize
the piercing.
Pierced nipples are for both men and women. Those who have
inverted or especially small nipples may need to have the piercing
artist examine them first in order to determine if they can
accommodate a piercing.
The male nipple is pierced closer to the body than the female
nipple because of size. Women are pierced at the base of the nipple
while a male piercing would be more in contact with the areola.
For women who get their nipples pierced, it’s advisable to wear a
cotton sports bra during the healing process. It will keep the area
dryer. Or, use a nursing bra. Men will want to sleep in a cotton tee
shirt at night to protect the piercing. Clean sheets are a must as
well.
Hands and mouths need to stay away from the piercing during the
first few weeks of healing. No doubt your partner will be excited by
the new piercing, but avoiding infection is so important. Your
piercing artist will have their own explicit instructions for
aftercare and is always there to answer any questions you might
have.
Pricing for pierced nipples varies from studio to studio. The
window seems to be between $35 and $55 for one nipple and between
$75 and $100 for both. The price often depends on the jewelry you
select.
