Are your nipples or genitals pierced? Would you consider getting them pierced?

After the stuff I've read just on these forums, I'm never piercing my nipples.. Make sure you do your research!

I have several piercings, my favorite will always be my tongue. It was bad, I took some Motrin before because I had cramps and I bled for days. I am very partial to it because I went through so much with it.

I already had no sensitivity in my nipples when I got them pierced. The nipple piercings were a compromise, he wanted a labia piercing and I said no. My nipple piercings were BY FAR the easiest for me. They healed in two weeks, only itched as they scabbed over and hurt the first day. There was no pain during the actual piercing part.

I was really amazed. The nipple piercings were the least painful one I have ever had. I think you need to way all options when evaluating a piercing. Also, nipple piercings, when done correctly, have no adverse affect on breastfeeding.

M's talking about nipple and labia piercings. The nipple piercings are almost a definite. I'm not sure He's decided on the labia piercings yet.

I've had my nips done but took them out because people assumed I liked having them played with...I didn't.

I love myself too much and too often to get anything done down there...wouldn't heal right and I'd prolly end up having to pee out a tube.

If I ever went into an extended coma, I'd like to have it done then. Talk about a surprise waking up!

My ears are triple pierced and I almost fainted every time I got them done. And now almost never even wear one pair of earrings.
Ditto! My ears were pierced as a child, but I haven't used the holes in about 10 years and wouldn't consider piercing anything else. I prefer magnetic and stick-on jewelry that I can get rid of when I feel like it.

I have 9 piercings. 7 in my ears (3x lobe each side, 1x inner conch), and one in each nipple.

I loooove my nipple piercings. They make my nipples look perfectly erect all the time, and my sensitivity has actually increased. Healing was a little bit of a pain, but it turned out that the jewelery was the problem (one of my barbells was just short enough to be irritating) and once I switched it out it was fine.

If you are considering getting any piercings done, there is a LOT to keep in mind. You need to do research on where you're getting it done, what kind of jewelry you should choose for healing (style, size, material), aftercare, and treatment in general. All of this makes a HUGE difference. I recommend BME link to anyone looking for resources. I find it to be most useful when looking for piercers, and when evaluating any risks. The community over there is also a great resource on jewelry choice and aftercare.

Actually, the piercing community is what first made me materials-aware. There's a lot of overlap between jewelry-safe materials and toy-safe materials because a lot of the same problems exist. You're putting something in your body, and you want to be careful about it.

There are a lot of risks to piercing in general, and especially with nipple and genital piercings. They shouldn't be something done casually. You should put a lot of thought into the entire process before you consider setting foot inside a studio.

Totally agree with SaraBee!

I used to live with a person who owned their own Tattoo/Piercing/etc place. Just like with a lot of other things in life, you pay for what you get. You want a $15 ear piercing, you'll get one of the worst ever. If you go to a professional and pay $20-25, you'll have a better healing piercing and a cool story or two to go along with it.

I'd recommend tattoos over piercings (i have/had both). Tattoo goo rocks!

Even $20 - $25 sounds a bit cheap to me, if that includes the cost of jewelry!

just the basics, I think my old roomie used to charge $25 for one or $40 for both up to 12g? It's been a few years.

I'll NEVER go with the piercing gun.

I took my nipple piercings out a few weeks ago because they would get in the way sometimes in day to day things and I feel like they never got a chance to really heal completely. And I know my boyfriend missed being able to suck on my nipples hard because it would hurt me with the piercings. I was sad to see them go, but the look on his face when he realized he could suck on them again was priceless.

I think I paid $90 for the pair, including jewelry (IS light blue titanium internally-threaded barbells <3). I'm not complaining, though. I love my piercer and don't mind paying a bit extra to ensure top-quality work and safety.

Great way to think about it! Really. Just like the small town hardware store, the smaller tattoo/piercing places are up against the bigger/cheaper stores. It's fine to pay a bit more, customer loyalty will help you out in the long run too!

I had my piercings for a year and they still hadn't healed- which is actually a lot more common than people think. I had to take my piercings out during my 3rd month of pregnancy because my breasts swelled so significantly and my nipples nearly doubled in size. It was mainly a personal choice, I had the OB checking my boobs every now and then and I was a little self-conscious of them in my very conservative hospital.

I have my nose pierced and my ears. I have had my belly button and tongue done before. Had to take the belly button one out when I was pregnant for obvious reasons. I hated my tongue ring so I got rid of it. The metal balls would constantly clack against my teeth and the plastic ones absorbed smell like tupperware. I use to soak the balls in scope to try to get rid of the odor. Then again, I was pregnant then too and had the sense of smell of a drug dog, so that could be why it bothered me so much.

also, with tongue piercings you risk chipping your teeth. Nothing makes me want a bj more than a set of broken teeth

Well I voted two ways, since my BF gives his opinions on reviews also, I voted for both of us, we both have both nipples pierced and he also has his dick pierced. As well as other piercings....

Yeah no option for me either. I'd never pierce my nipples, I don't think it'd look right on me and it wouldn't really suit my style and preferences. I think genital piercings are interesting, but in the end wouldn't ever go there because I'm too chicken and I really like how everything is now. I do have two sets of piercings in each ear and my navel done, so nothing exciting. If I did get something else it'd be two surface bars near my collarbones, which I was seriously close to doing about a year ago, but the desire has worn off now.

My nipples used to be pierced. I had vertical barbells in both. I plan on getting them done again, I took them out because after 2+ years they never healed!

I can't wait to get them redone. The reason I got them done was because I was insecure about my nipples (I thought they were ugly) so I turned that insecurity into something positive and thought I'd decorate them with some pretty jewelry! So I did and I loved them so much. Another reason I went ahead and did it was because I had no sensitivity in my nipples and I wanted so much to feel something when someone touched them. And it really, really helped with that too ;o)

I have both of my nipples pierced and well healed. Only took about 8 months for full healing and I've had them a total of about 2 or 3 years now. I love them aesthetically but I really do wish they would have added some sensitivity to my nipples because my fiance loves to play but it just irritates me

I always thought having the nipples pierced would increase their sensitivity. I was surprised to see so many people say the piercing had the opposite effect. Are there people who found that it heightened their enjoyment of nipple play?

I currently have a triangle piercing (it passes behind the clitoral shaft. its hard to explain but I'm sure the internet is full of pictures) and 4 inner labia piercings. I think other than stretching (would love to get my triangle to a 4 gauge at least), I'm done with genital piercings for now. 5 in one area is a lot. I may eventually go for a third pair of inner labia piercings.

I used to have my nipples pierced and a vertical hood piercing. My nipples were lymphing and rejecting a year after so I took them out. My hood piercing made it where it hurt to use vibrators though i suspect now it had a lot to do with the length of the jewelry.

Just ears at the moment. One in one ear, and two in the other. I am heavily thinking of a triangle piercing, but need to find the right person to do it, and find out if my anatomy will support it right. I think I have the proper anatomy for it, but I need to find a really qualified and experienced piercer, or I will not do it.
I haven't found anybody I trust enough, yet.

It's totally worth it! They numb it a bit if you want, which totally helps with the pain and you can't feel any soreness afterwards. It's super pleasureable and it's one of the few places you can pierce and after it's fully healed, you can take out the jewelry for extended periods of time and it won't close up! :] I love my clit ring and I've never heard anyone regret it. I've heard a LOT of cats (surprisingly) say that you can lose feeling down there, but that can only happen on an off chance that you get your actual clitoris pierced, not the hood. Not many piercers will ever pierce a clit. It's like clitoral bisection -- no one does it because theres not enough area to regenerate all the shtuff you want.

Pierced ears and eyebrow, but that's it. Definitely not piercing my nipples, that would hurt waaaay too much and catch on stuff all the time.

I have my nipples and hood pierced. They are the best piercings. I have great sensations in those areas now when I play.
