Nipple pierced hurt? Really considering getting it done when the shops reopen. Tell me how bad is it on a scale of 1-10? I've had various other piercings and had 4 natural births, but worried this will just be too much 😬 Thanks !

Thanks @QueenPaw! Do they ever catch on your bras or clothes?

4.5/10 not bad at all.

I had one done when I was young and perky breasted, then had DS and that one nipple grew much more than the other and is now bigger even tho DS is late teens and I haven't had the bar in for probably 15yrs Blush

I thought it really hurt, but only for a second. Had it done twice, I really miss it actually and wish I had not taken it out now.

Doesn't hurt that much when you get it done, but it's excruciating if you catch it on a bracelet

Vthirtyone · 18/02/2021 18:38

Sorry forgot to answer your specific question. Approx 6/10 pain when you get it done, 11/10 if you catch it on a bracelet!

Thanks everyone

How long does it take to heal?

It was a sharp pain but over quickly. I had it pierced originally with a ring and it wasn’t healing at all a month later due to the movement so I switched to a bar and it healed very quickly after that.

I’ve had a LOT of piercings over the years and the worst was my tragus. It didn’t actually hurt but I had the weirdest sensation of pressure, like my head was in a vice 🤢

Ah really @amusedbush?? I can imagine the tragus would be very painful! I've had my tongue done twice ( due to getting sick of it and letting it heal and then changing my mind again) , my belly button and my ear lobes twice but still nervous of getting a piercing in a new place!

I had mine done twice. Not too painful but got horribly infected both times, so if you do do it, be careful with your aftercare.

For me it wasn't at all painful. Healing was quick and easy and it only hurt when I opened a door straight into my boob (I was fully clothed) when it was about 2 days old. Also I'm a front sleeper and even that was ok.

I've had nipple, belly button x2, ears x3 and a tragus....Tragus was by far the worst and I had to take it out after 3weeks as it just wasn't healing. All the others were a breeze.
