Status: offline 		Very glad I had mine pierced as I gained sensitivity in the nipples and at same time I am able to endure more nipple torture!
Mine took approx 6 months to completely heal .
Had both done at same time and my left caused more problems and I had to remove the ring about a year after having it done. My right nipple stayed pierced for a few more years until the ball fell off anf the ring worked it's way out of the hole during sleep.
I would though I'd highly recommend they find a good body piercer and to be absolutely sure they want a piercing.
I'd rate the initial pain as 8 and then quickly eased to about 5-6. I was sore for several days afterwards. After awhile, I found that I got accustomed to the soreness and didn't really notice it unless I accidentally bumped my chest or someone tried to play with my nips.
Follow the piercer's advice on aftercare exactly. Also allow the nipples to fully heal before engaging in intense nipple tugging and biting. Most people find the sensitivity greatly increases and it takes a person time to get accustomed to the heightened sensitivity. Once that happens, you'll find the nipples are directly wired to the crotch and it is so delicious!
I got the Ring , though when I get around to having them repierced, I think I'll go for with the barbell next time around.

2. How long did it take to heal? about a month and a half
3. Were there any complications? If so did you end up having to remove the jewelry and let it heal? only just recently, (two years later) and that’s only because I switched to (what I think was) inferior jewelry. No, you can’t remove the jewelry to let it heal, or you end up with worse complications.
4. Would you reccomend it to someone who was thinking about getting it done? For sure.
5. On a scale of 1 to 10 (one been minor irritation, 10 being unbearably painfull) how much did it hurt to get them pierced, and how long after getting them pierced were you sore?  I didn’t feel it being done, because my Dom is a doctor and used lidocaine on them before we went to the piercing place. The pain that came in the next couple days was not bad at all. Kind of like a bad bruise would feel.
6. Any tips or tricks you would reccomend for someone who might get their nipples pierced? I wouldn’t have done it without the lidocaine.
7. What type did you get (Ring? Barbell? D-Ring?) 14 gauge barbells is the norm for your first time.
 
I have no idea why I can't fix the size of a couple of the sentences here. I just did a copy paste from my Word program.
Weird.

Right one was healing fine, pain gone, but started me lactating.


So, this happens?  Ok.  I've been wondering if that's what's been going on.  I just took my right one out because it oozes on and off, and gets painful but it didn't seem infected.  I haven't decided what to do with the left one, whether to take it out or leave it in.

Anyway, it was the worse pain I ever felt, even worse than childbirth and I did that without anesthetics and both labors were complicated.  I screamed fuck you at the guy who was with me. 

It took 3 or 4 weeks for them to stop being tender and no-one could get near them.  It made me really defensive with that area.  For complications, see above.

I had rings.  Still have one left. lol

migration is basically the piercing rejecting.  the body rejects the piercing, and the jewelry moves (migrates) till the jewelry eventually will move entirely out of the skin, tearing loose.  you're better off at that point to remove the jewelry and let the piercing heal on its own at that point.

i had my last 2 piercings placed deep, because i had migration issues before.  the left one migrated again, and i removed it when it had obviously moved to where it was pierced halfway through the meat of the nipple, and no longer at the base.  this took less than 2 weeks.

I still have scars from them too, haha. It's easier just to take them out at that point, otherwise you end up with either scars like me, or some crooked piercings.

Ok it will take some time so I will post it in different windows:

Please take the time to read the following instructions and pay particular attention to the sections that specifically apply to you.
These instructions will help to ensure that your piercing heals quickly with a minimum amount of complications.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like any further information - we believe it's our responsibility to advise you and we are more than happy to do so.
You should remember that your body will heal the piercing naturally and not as a result of any products you may use on it. A careful daily aftercare routine will keep your piercing as hygienic as possible and ensure that it heals in harmony with your body. You must keep the pierced area clean, away from any sources of contamination and protected from things that may damage it. If the area becomes inflamed, your body will need help to deal with it since your natural immune system won't be able to cope on its own. A daily care routine is therefore very important, as is a good, healthy, balanced diet and relaxed frame of mind.


Daily care
First week: Use a cotton bud to apply a small amount of the cream provided (Cicatryl) twice a day, morning and evening (after either a shower or salt water bath). Make sure that the cream is absorbed and that no surplus cream remains on the skin (remove any surplus with the other end of the cotton bud taking care to ensure that neither the piercing nor surrounding pores become blocked):
* in the morning, after a shower. Use a neutral pH soap (e.g. Sanex, Nivea or Dove), don't use a washcloth

Status: offline 		* in the evening, after a salt water bath. Boil some water (water must be boiling not just warm!), add some sea salt (one teaspoon per cup of water), allow the solution to cool a little (the water should not scald you but it should be as hot as you can bear), then apply the solution for 10 minutes ('bell' system with a small glass, the pierced area must literally bathe in this water).

Next three weeks: Throw away any remaining cream because you no longer need it. All you need now is a cotton bud dipped in an alcohol-free antiseptic, such as Cedium or Diaseptyl, to disinfect the piercing twice a day - once after taking a shower in the morning and once after a salt bath in the evening. 
Reduce how often you apply the antiseptic in order to 'wean' your skin off it. Stop using products after one month but continue with the salt water baths.
From the second week onwards, you'll notice that the pierced area will become hard and will stay like that until it's healed completely (cell regeneration). you'll also notice a white, transparent discharge, called lymph, which leaves a yellow residue as it dries - don't scratch this layer because it contains white blood cells that protect you from bacteria.
The salt water solution is the only aftercare treatment you can use whenever you want since it's a natural remedy. NB * Always wash your hands before touching the piercing or surrounding area.
* Never use any of the disinfectants mentioned above for more than four weeks. Although you need to use them to begin with, prolonged use may irritate your skin and you may become hypersensitive to the substances contained in them. They will also become less effective because the bacteria will adapt to the active ingredients. After four weeks, we recommend an anti-bacterial or pH neutral soap for cleaning your piercing each day.
* Never remove the jewellery when cleaning your piercing. Until fully healed, the piercing can close over very quickly and you risk tearing young, fragile cells when trying to put the jewellery back in.
* Never turn or move the jewellery unless in the shower - you could irritate the skin that is healing and hurt yourself. Dried, agglutinated residues on the skin around the jewellery are normal: this is a mixture of different fluids produced by your immune system to destroy and repel bacteria. When they dry, they can become sharp and could damage the piercing if they get pushed inside.
* Do not scratch these dry residues, they will disappear gradually in the shower and during the salt water bath.
* The piercing does not need to be covered with a dressing unless it is in an area that could rub (genital area) or when protection is recommended (due to sweat, dust, smoke or physical contact e.g. sport, sex or night club).
* Do not put pressure on or irritate the pierced area by wearing tight clothing or clothing that rubs against the piercing (e.g. belt or button on jeans). Cotton clothing is recommended (as opposed to clothing made from synthetic materials).
* If you need advice or are worried about anything, just come to us for help - don't take advice from your friends or parents, after all they aren't professionals.

Status: offline 		Tips
Infection or irritation? Infections, although rare, can occur but they don't mean you will have to remove your piercing. A simple irritation or inflammation is often wrongly described as an infection. The following symptoms are a sign of irritation/inflammation:
- dull pain: tugging, pinching;
- redness around the piercing;
- oozing lymph;
- a 'bump' sometimes appears at the entrance of the piercing (a keloid forms after the piercing is knocked or when there are problems with the healing process). If this happens, bathe the piercing in salt water again and the symptoms will subside in a couple of days. An irritation that is not dealt with correctly can turn into an infection. The following symptoms indicate an infection (very rare!):
- yellowish substances or pus that sometimes have an odour;
- the affected area gives off a certain amount of heat; the pierced area is warm to the touch and is very painful;
- significant and sometimes extensive swelling;
- persistent redness.
You should remember that swelling may occur just after the piercing. Swelling caused by an infection, however, is different and can be recognised from the speed at and extent to which it spreads as well as the pain and heat it causes.
In all cases, the first thing you should do is contact us. Never try to remove the jewellery because it can help drain the infection - without it, the piercing would close over the infection and could develop into an abscess or cyst.

Status: offline 		AllergiesMost people have allergies so we only use materials specifically designed for body piercing. The metals and products we recommend and use are selected since they have a very low rate of allergic reactions. This selection is based on experience and medical information. However, despite all these efforts, an allergic reaction is possible.
Contrary to what you may think, most allergic reactions are not caused by the material used for the jewellery itself but by the products used to take care of the piercing afterwards. The most common symptoms are an extremely itchy rash or very dry skin. For people who are allergic to nickel, we recommend using jewellery made from titanium (nickel free) or a biocompatible plastic, such as Teflon, for the first piercing to speed up the healing process.
If you're worried about any sort of reaction on your skin just tell our team - describe or show us your problem and we'll advise you accordingly. Rejection Piercings can sometimes move from their original location and be rejected by the body for unknown reasons. To avoid this problem, we would advise you not to choose jewellery that is too small or too thin and to make sure that the piercing is not too close to the surface. Get in touch with us if you notice that your piercing has moved. The best solution is to remove the piercing before it tears through the few remaining millimetres of skin and causes a scar. Some piercings can be replaced after the skin has healed fully. Additional advice In addition to the basic aftercare for your piercing you can do several other things to aid the healing process. A zinc supplement (100-150 mg/day) for the first two weeks will help the healing process significantly.
Physiological saline solution can help to clean or freshen up the pierced area but does not have the same effect as the boiled salt water solution (the trace elements of sea salt strengthen new cells).
To help the body heal well and fight infections, you should try to reduce your stress levels, sleep well and eat a healthy, balanced diet.
You should keep the original jewellery in the piercing for 2-6 months depending on the area pierced. If the jewellery has to be removed for a short period (e.g. medical tests, scans or pregnancy), you can replace it with a piece of nylon of the same diameter. We also sell PTFE Teflon jewellery specifically designed for this purpose. Do not use the following on your piercing: - Aloe vera
- Perfumed soap, perfume
- Dressings at night
- Make up, moisturising cream
- Hibiscrub, Hibitense
- Washcloth
- Hydrogen peroxide, ether
- Neosporin
- 70% or 90% alcohol
- Tea Tree Oil
- Isobetadine, Mercurochrome
 How to care for your piercing during the first few weeks - Always keep the piercing and surrounding area clean.
- Avoid all contact with dirty hands (yours or anyone else's).
- Avoid any rough handling of the piercing until it has healed.
- Avoid stress and people who make you feel stressed.
- Don't wear dirty and/or tight clothing next to the piercing (e.g. belt, tights or Wonder bras).
- Never take different types of medication at the same time, some kinds can react with each other and could be harmful or cause irritation.
- Avoid putting pressure or sleeping on your piercing and never blow smoke onto a piercing.
- Showers are preferable to baths (soaking).
- Avoid the following for the first four weeks: sun beds, swimming pools, hammams, saunas, baths, exposure to the sun and heat.
- Always keep jewellery in the piercing, some parts of the body will close over after a few minutes, especially during the first year.
- Don't wear a heavy or bulky jewellery (e.g. chain or attachment) until your piercing has healed fully (risk of tearing).
- NEVER wear silver jewellery in piercings in the cartilage in the nose or ears: oxidation of this type of metal can cause septicaemia and other toxic effects.
- For ear and bridge piercings, hair must be tied back so it doesn't catch on the piercing or cause it to weep. How long will my piercing take to heal? Please note that the following times are only given as a guide and are the maximum time that your piercing should take to heal and become an integral part of your body. NB: However, this does not mean that you can remove the jewellery from the piercing. - Ear lobe: 6 weeks
- Ear cartilage: 3 months
- Nose (nostril or septum): 9 weeks
- Labret-lip: 9 weeks
- Bridge: 8 weeks
- Tongue: 6 weeks
- Navel: 9 months
- Nipple: 9 months

All these informations are coming form Arkel piercing, Brussels, where i had my piercing  done( 4 years ago with NO complication at all) but some information could be irrelevant due to brands and names who can be different from American/or wolrd wide names.

Yours
Chloe

As it was written in some of the first  post is that I can't help you on that matter cause :

First: I dont have nipple piercing (mine is a little lower)
second: I'm not a professionnal

but if you google: piercing in brussels: you will find arkel 's website and ask them all the question you need: the boss is an english woman so answering in english will be real easy.

If you've had previous piercings and know it is unlikely (it's always possible) that you'll have a problem with steel, 316LVM stainless steel is fine.

If you've not had previous piercings, have a known high sensitivity to nickel or have had previous issues with stainless steel of any type, titanium would be best.

Anyhow,  I have been seriously thinking about getting my nipples pierced.   I do not know who in Atlanta is reputable and that is my biggest concern. 

So I've 2 q's. 
1.  What shop? or such do you pierce out of...I might just get my butt over to you in Augusta to have them done sooner or later. 
2.  Are there any folks/shops here in Atlanta that you have heard good things about...might consider if you were to be getting it done here?

Feel free to reply to me privately if you prefer.  I kinda thought others might find any responses helpful too but understand if such info is not something you want to make public.

My memory of you is that your hair, nails and peircings were absolutuely impecable and very well done.  I recall even asking you about who did your hair and it was you who did it.  You strike me as quite the artist.

best regards, Ocilla

surgical stainless steel is mostly used for first piercings.

barbells and rings are about the same as far as cleaning goes, i've had both.  the piercer who did my latest ones told me that men do better with rings and women with barbells for the initial pierce, because men dont have the pressure of a bra on the nipples, and so there isnt any excess pressure on the ring.
