To have my Nipple pierced?

109 replies

TheMitsubishiWarrioress · 01/04/2009 16:54

Because I am stressed and don't have enough hair to have a stressy hair cut. And I already have tattoes, and other piercings........

Will be back in a bit.

My only reason not to is since I lost weight I like to wear fitted tops and it will draw attention to them. But would a good bra hide it?

Ithink... the clue is in my cat being called Mitsi

Ronaldinhio · 01/04/2009 18:11

Have you considered tidying something or giving the bath a scrub, that will help with your stress and keep your nipples hole free

tinseltot · 01/04/2009 18:26

Glad that it worked out well for you Pinktulips!

What do the NCT know anyway? I recall being taught by my NCT class leader (whilst pregnant with my first) that childbirth isn't painful at all, rather it involves 'strong sensations' !?!!!! WTF!

Bet the person who wrote the book didn't have pierced nips herself!

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 01/04/2009 18:31

ow ow ow my god the thought of shoving something clean through my nipple is horrible

Having said that, my sister nearly did it by accident. messing about with HUGE nail clipper thingies that looked more like a pair of pliers! chucking them up in the air, then catching them and snapping them shut.

Until she threw them up, let them fall, caught them and ...SNAP.. yup. right on the nipple.

The fact that over 20 years later, she still gets tears in her eyes when you mention it, tells me that nipples are not for piercing!

oldraver · 01/04/2009 18:31

Pink Tulips... Even tho I still have a hole on one side and it does 'ooze' I really dont think I could get a ring through there again. Its probably been 4 years now since Ive worn one so I know will have to start from scratch. I thought I would of had it re-done WAY before now

geordieminx · 01/04/2009 19:08

I was able to re-pierce it myself after a year, reckon I could still get bar through it.

PinkTulips · 01/04/2009 19:27

hmm...... worth a shot at doing it myself first then... have done loads of piercings myself so not afraid of it hurting a little and that one was in the perfect spot.

i'm wondering whether it's a bad or a good thing that i automatically assumed the meaning of the mitsubishi symbol (007's were better)

Lolol......

dunno, cake just doesn't take the edge off!!

And isn't the Mitsubishi warrior C200 just so cool.

I can get 20% off piercings at the moment.

No BFing to do...

Hmmmm am very tempted.

Supermans were my fave

lydiathetattooedlady · 01/04/2009 19:49

i used to have both my nipples pierced, as long as you wear a smooth cupped bra you'll be fine...lacey bras tend to smart on the nipple!

CoteDAzur · 01/04/2009 19:57

Don't do it. One nipple will be much bigger than the other. And it just keeps hurting.

CoteDAzur · 01/04/2009 19:58

It's been so long I partied that I don't even remember which ones were my fave.

newlysinglemummy · 01/04/2009 20:04

I have not got any tattos but have my belly button pierced and ears and top of ear. So I am not big time into things like that.

But have recently broken up from a crappy relationship and feel like getting a tatoo?? I think there is something that makes you feel satisfied by doing something a little crazy. Atleast with a piercing you can take it out if you change your mind...

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 01/04/2009 20:07

go for it i have mine done and a good bra will hide it (padded) under fitted tops (i like fitted tops too). No reason for you not to go for it if you want to

be prepared for wanting to clamp your boobs in place so they dont move straight after its done though

geordieminx · 01/04/2009 20:13

You are all tempting me to re-pierce mine... I did it live on MN last year but took it out a while back as the bar fell out.

Rumpel · 01/04/2009 20:38

Go for it - i got both mine done at once - although 1 subsequently got rejected and I had to take the other out when pregnant with DD. I always wear padded bras anyway to even out my pear shape

I have my lower lip pierced with a monroe - it's nice. I did have a hoop but again - body rejected it as it did my eyebrow! I suppose I should really listen to my bod but hey you only live once.

If you fancy a tattoo you could get your eyeliner/lipliner/beauty spot done. I've got my lipliner done but it hurt like feck! I have a small beauty spot which looks natural as freckle coloured. Also have 3 tattoos - make sure you really like the design or design something that means something to you/is personal.

good luck!

Hmmmm, I think the padded bra covering it if I want has almost swayed it for me....and I can always have a cuppa and a piece of cake afterwards lol.

catsmother · 01/04/2009 20:55

I had both mine done at the same time ...... and my tongue done straight after as well. I figured that while I was still high on the adrenalin of one piercing, I'd get the other over and done with.

I never had any problems, any kind of bra was fine, and kept them in until I was about 6 months pregnant (they started to feel a bit uncomfortable as my boobs grew). Breastfeeding wasn't affected at all - I fed my daughter for 15 months, but couldn't get the bars back in after and have never had them re-done (mainly because I never seem to have any spare money, not because I regretted it).

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 01/04/2009 21:09

i think its more noticeable if you get a ring as the little ball is a bit more prominent beneath the nip, a bar should be less so as its 2 small balls () either side so the nip takes precedence.

up to you which you want to get really

and yup a cuppa and a cake after sounds like a fab idea

I had rings put in when I first had it done. I kept moving and the hole wouldn't heal properly. I went to see a good piercer and he put a bar in for me, after that it was fine.

I took it out when I was pregnant as both my nipples were sore all the time. Bf normally and no funny squirting from the sides

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/04/2009 21:37

DP and I had our right nipples pierced on the spur of the moment one afternoon when we were bored we went off had them done and I love mine and his lol.

Am also thinking of having clitoral piercing
already have 9 earrings (4 in one ear 5 in other and belly button plus 5 tattoos)

Oh and I BF ds2 with no problems

poshwellies · 01/04/2009 22:01

I forgot dh has got his nipple pierced until I read this thread .

Looks a bit dated imo.

feralgirl · 01/04/2009 22:25

Yeah go for it and wear a padded bra if you don't want it to be obvious.
I took mine out when pregnant and now DS barely has to suck from that nip! I love BFing but still can't wait to have it done again.
