to want to get my nipples pierced

[fallenangle]

I have, since a teenager, hankered after pierced nipples. I never had the nerve. DC s and BF scuppered any thoughts along those lines. DH is intrigued rather than enthusiastic.Now I am 37 the yearning is still there. Should I? Is this an early mid life crisis that I'll get over? I don't have other piercings apart from ear lobes.

I have lotsa piercings! nipples included, go and do it if you want!

Yanbu, but I will warn you that they take a long time to heal, and hurt quite alot! :)
I took mine out when I was about 7mo pg so I could bf. I miss them, but not enough to have them redone!

Ambrosius, I just had the oddest vision of you trying to BF for the first time and milk spraying out in three directions. :o

I can't see why not OP, Other than the pain. Ouch.

Ow ow ow ow ow

nothing else constructive to say

I took mine out when i was pregnant, miss them and will be getting them redone after this third and final. I feel kind of naked now without them - very odd i know

Go for it, of course it hurts when having them done, and for a bit while healing, buts its not agony or anything, and if you dont like how they look you can just take them out anyway!

Good luck :)

I had one done when I was 36-once I'd finished breast feeding. I think I did it to kind of "reclaim" my body after having the children.
It did hurt but if I had my time again I'd still do it, so go for it

Depends on how sensitive your nipples are (i can orgasm from mine).

I wouldn't risk losing that, which is a possibility.

Go for it.

@ birds

Get it done, you'll only keep thinking about it if you don't. I think both looks better than one - kind of more balanced

I had mine done, it wasn't too painful for me. Though I had to remove one after a few years when it started to reject, I didn't fancy a split nipple.

Ive had to take mine out since ive become pregnant, miss them so much and will be having them redone after having a couple of little ones.

The consensus of the experienced seems to be go for it. Birds is particularly persuasive.

Birdsgotafly, I found mine even more sensitive after they were pierced...

Can you get clip-ons? [keen but scared emoticon]

I have known too many people get really bad infections from them... certainly not something I would want to get done.

Do it.

Go for it
You can always take them out if you change your mind
One at a time though is the way to go surely

do it, i had mine done and still managed breast feeding ( took it out in pregnancy) mine needs redoing as it closed :(

Do it. I had one, took it out while I was pregnant (that nipple has milk pouring from it now ) and I'll get it redone when I've finished breastfeeding.

It didn't hurt much, they numb it first, I had one drop of blood then all was fine. It is a little bit embarrassing though. You have to sit topless and thrust your chest forwards for them to do it.

Why not, just be sure to go someplace proper, that will lessen the chance of anything going wrong

I dated a guy years ago who pierced his own nipple at home one night

Should probably go add that to the 'red flags' thread!

yanbu i'd love to get my nose pierced, always have - too chicken though!

don't even have ears pierced

Sardine getting one done makes great sense. I know it should be the left, not sure why.

Ergo. Don't your clothes lol cack though
