Nipple Piercings

[BruceBoxer]

Good morning folks,
My sub wants her nipple pierced and I'm all for it. I've been reading though that recovery is 2-6 months--long time. Anybody had good/bad experiences?
Cheers,
Boxer

Haven't done it, won't do it, not interested in it.

[emmaadmirer]

Me, too. Ouch!!!

[redEva]

Done it, loved it, but….
Healing time is really long, again it depends on how person heals in general; I don’t. As with any other body art – make sure more than few people recommends the parlor. Piercing it self, hurts – but not impossible (this is BDSM forum after all – no?). There is barely any blood. Nipples look gorgeous with rings (only my personal opinion here – hehe). Recommendation is not to wear the bra – it will put the unwanted pressure on the wound. If the breast is of a size that needs support – get a bra and cut out the holes big enough for nipple to get through. Nipples will be sensitive for a while, and there is ABSOLUTELY NO NIPPLE PLAY ALOUD till it completely heals.
In conclusion – would I recommend it? HELL YES!
Any other questions – you or your sub could have – you know where to find me

Sincerely

red

My wife had both pierced. Healing time was not all that long, but required a lot of cleaning and care. RedEva is right about no playing until completely healed. She claimed that it didn't hurt at all. Her nipples are now on high-beam all of the time. Trust me, we both enjoy them very much

I gotta disagree with you, Eva, but I think piercings, aside from the classics like ears and nose, look pretty tacky and fadish.

I'll actually be glad when people begin having more brains in their heads again than metal. I say, pick up a book and leave the needle behind.

Some smart person said long time ago that: “preferences are not for discussion” or to each his own.
I did state:

And, quite honestly I too prefer people that have more brain than metal in their head, but just like I don’t discriminate against color, nationality or religion I do not have problem with people that use they body as canvas for art of any kind. Body adorations are as old as human society, and if you personally don’t find it appealing that is fine, but do not put down those that do.

[redEva]

Beautiful - is it not?

and a close-up

and a bit of extreme - but well it is not close to brain

[BDSM_Tourguide]

You stated your opinion, I restated mine. I, personally, don't care for nipple, clit, vaginal, labia, eyebrow, la brae, cock, ball, navel, or other various forms of piercing. I think people use them far too much as a way to gain attention these days. I also don't care for piercing the ears more than twice each. I don't mind the nose so much, especially hoops, because they serve a functionality.

I'm not putting anyone down for their preferences and I really don't care if you or anyone else on this forum has piercings, as I will never see them myself. What I am saying is that I, myself, do not care for them, won't have them, won't ask my submissive(s) to have them, nor shall I likely change my opinion based upon popular cultures' view of things.

As for the pictures you posted, I liked the tattoos, but the breast implants and multiple piercings I find equally vile. I find things done out of vanity and shock value to be of poor taste. Not that I mind make-up, shampoo or that sort of thing, but to spend $10,000 or more just to make your tits bigger boggles my mind. There are so many other things I would rather spend that sort of cash on, like sending my baby to college.

Great pictures from redEva (particularly the second!)!

To get back to Bruce Boxer's question, healing time can vary a LOT in piercing, depending on how fast the sub usually heals from other things, whether or not there's an infection (which could set you back a month or more, or convince you to let the piercing close up and try again later), the location being pierced (nipples tend to take longer than labia, for instance), the time, temperature and what's on television that night. In other words, the first time a sub gets pierced, there's really no way of knowing how long the healing will take. For nipples, a rule of thumb would be half again to twice as long as it took her earlobes to heal when she had them pierced.

Two things that can (somewhat) speed the healing process are: regular applications of Neosporin to the site (unless she's allergic to it, which is possible), and; keeping the site covered. Some people think that letting a wound "breath" speeds healing. Specifically for nipple piercings, this is not the case. The most important considerations are to keep the wound clean (preventing infection) and to prevent irritating friction (which would seem to mean keeping her away from BDSM Tourguide!). I know, irritating friction is one of the main reasons for infibulating, but not until the healing is complete, please.

There is an enormous amount of literature available on this subject, Mr. Boxer. It shouldn't be at all hard to find enough to thoroughly confuse you.

Piercing may not be for you, I don't have one myself either. My wife really enjoys hers (more than just nips by the way). When she enjoys something, so do I. She says that they have become much more sensitive, so the plus is so much more than the minus. There is still constant cleaning (but that can be more of a plus come to think of it). Besides, if you don't want them anymore, just take them out.

By the way, great pictures Eva

[redEva]

Happy to see most people enjoyed pictures - so here is another one .

[Curtis]

Okay, now I want to know what that metal thing to the LEFT of the labia is!

[redEva]

Not metal, Curtis, rubber outfit (or the leftover of it hehe).

[knotz2u]

Thanks for your pic

[kittenfemme]

Oh my! I find these are so very lovely! I've no body piercings myself (several tattoos) but one of my submissives had her nipples pierced. Waiting for them to heal is incredibly frustrating! After all, they're beautiful and I wanted to do all sorts of horrible things. Hers took nearly 3 1/2 months of healing time until she reached the point where I could really abuse them.

My Mistress, on the other hand, has many piercings. She told me the vertical stud through her hood took almost six months! That's six months without clitoral stimulation! I'm glad she I wasn't under contract with her at the time. I would have gone insane not being able to eat her properly.

[Mobius]

How do you go through a metal detector at the airport.
Could be an interesting theam for a story.

Can you say humiliated

[BruceBoxer]

Hot as I think pierced nipples are, following comments here and mucho research, I opted not to have her done. She was just too scared and I thought allowing an honorable escape to be the best strategic move. Of course, the nipples have paid a heavy price being subjected to various torments. Perhaps she may change her mind someday and relish the repite while the piercings heal.

[Mobius]

Nice set of 44d's will do nicely

[kittenfemme]

A boob job? Nah, I like my subs au natural as far as that's concerned. Though if someone does opt for mammoplasty I recommend saline pouch insertion from below the breast. Forget that carving the nipple out thing. Though there are happy exceptions, it has reduced sensitivity to almost everyone I know who has done it, and I know quite a few from spending time in various forms of sex work.

Nipple piercing seems to have a much higher success rate in my experience. And they're just so damn sexy, fun, and useful! Ever bell your sub's piercings? Far too much fun! Of course, you could always just use these tweezer style nipple clamp bells. *smirk*

[Mobius]

what about the belly button way I heard about or through the armpits

[Spitman]

Wonderful pictures, RedEva. I've never seen anything quite as beautiful as that butterfly image, and the first picture is of someone I would like to know very well indeed! What a fantastic figure.

Pierced nipples have always been a big turnon for me. One of the most erotic images I remember was a girl pulling a little chain to and fro through her nipple piercing. I am also very keen on the triangle piercing, although the example in your fourth picture did not look particularly well sited. I preferred the one in your first picture. I like them high and deep.

Nipple rings offer all kings of erotic possibilities. Have you tried attaching a helium balloon, the kind they give to kids in shopping malls? The peculiar feel of the nipple being pulled upwards is, I am told, quite special. Lying down with two or three helium balloons attached to a triangle piercing can be interesting too!

Attaching inflexible cords is not something I would recommend, because an accidental jerk could result in injury, which is why I prefer elastic cords. As long as the ring is not too thin.

There are antibiotic ointments that can speed up healing, such as Cicatrin, but another poster has pointed out that individuals may have an allergic reaction to particular ointments. The lucky ones are not allergic to the metal!

There is a kind of silicon elastomer used to make drive belts for small motors. It is thin (like spaghetti) but flexible and very strong, and comes in lengths that you can cut to size. You make it into a strong loop by welding the ends using a kind of hot knife, but it insulates so the whole loop doesn't get hot. You can make transparent coloured nipple loops that cannot be removed without cutting the loop, because the material is far too strong to break manually. That stuff is designed for motor driven belts that run for thousands of hours! You could thread it through a series of piercings and then weld the ends together very quickly and easily. Aesthetically I think it would look great at a party.

But apart from the technical side, nipple piercings really float my boat!

Okay, now I want to know what that metal thing to the LEFT of the labia is!

Crotchless latex or some similar undies? I liked the butterfly too but, I think it's one of those things that I prefer to admire from a far. I don't know if I'd want to haul that much extra metal around with me.

I've been thinking about getting my nipples pierced for a long time but since my nipples are such a huge part of my sex life, I've been reticent about them being out of commission for months. Someone recently suggesting having them done one at a time and letting them heal in between, I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

Are there any lactating women out there with pierced nipples?

[Curtis]

Yes there are, though I'm not one of them. My understanding is that lactating after you've healed from piercing USUALLY isn't a problem (depending on number, size and placement of holes and peculiarites of individual internal anatomy).

Piercing after lactating I BELIEVE requires the woman to 'dry off' the breast involved and remain dry until the piercing(s) have healed, after which you're in the same situation as in the first paragraph.

If you're one of the few idiots who uses a leather punch to create your holes, your chances of successfully lactating afterwards drop dramatically.

redEva may be along shortly to correct or expand on this post.

[redEva]

LOL … well Curtis, since you invited me so nicely, I simply could not resist, but… well you covered it all – and I totally agree with all that you said (including the comment on the leather punch *ouch*).

In all the related literature only concerns I found was a comment about how desirable it would be to remove jewellery before breastfeeding since it could a) prevent proper latching of baby and b) in case it comes loose it could cause chocking. Obviously this is not a concern if we are talking about adult breastfeeding relationship. Another comment I came across was that some pierced women found that the milk is actually flowing easier and faster through the punctured holes (I have to say I am a bit unconvinced as far this fact is concerned due to the physiology of the nipple and the milk ducts…)

Only more one thing I would like to add (and I already wrote much more than I intended lol) is that one should consider the fact that any piercing, even if completely healed, once it does not support jewellery any more will close. If you are planning on having baby any time soon (and that is relative since the piercing needs anywhere up to 6 months to heal properly) consider that you will breastfeed on average every 2 hours through-out the 24 hour period, for at least first 4 months and than, depending on what your preference is – could keep lactating for next few years. Are you that intent on putting the barbell/ring in-and-out 10 times a day?

[albear]

when i got my nipples pierced, i was told i'd have to heal them up for breastfeeding, and it makes sense. i've had one of the piercings for a year and a half, the other for three weeks. even now, if i knock the first piercing, it will produce crusties over the next few days to heal itself back up. i don't think thats fair to a bub whos just trying to eat

in terms of getting the piercing, do it one at a time, so you're not out of comission completely. that said, my nipples are much more sensitive now than they were (not that thats a bad thing!) and therefore can't handle as much

[lynangel]

I had both done at the same time. It was a major turn on for both myself and hubby but I had nothing but trouble with them from the start and after two years took them out.

I found that for a couple of weeks they would be fine...then I would have two or three weeks of agony and soreness. Then they would heal again and the cycle continued.

I finally gave up, even though it pained me to do so, and took them out.

Whilst they were in an 'ok' period I found the nipples to be ultrasensitive which was brilliant but couldn't stand the other times when I would freeze as soon as hubby came near me!

I would really love to try again. Maybe this time I will go for the one at a time theory.

As with everything else, piercing is a personal preference. I for one can't stand faces full of metal but find nipple piercing highly erotic....*shrug*. Each to his/her own!

[albear]

maybe try getting them pierced a little shallower. as long as you're not going to hang heavy stuff off them, they won't migrate or rip, but tend to heal a bit better. also, i found with all piercings that soaking them in sea salts helps to heal (trust me, this is hard to do with a nose piercing! )

i haven't really had any probs with my piercings....but everyone heals differently
