Nipple piercing. Nipple piercing

Nipple piercings are a great way to express yourself. It can also enhance the pleasure of sex. Nipple piercings often make the nipples more sensitive and may even cause them to enlarge. Find a reliable salon before piercing your nipples. Then talk to a professional and sign up for a puncture. When the nipples are pierced, clean the piercing sites regularly and take care of the piercing.

Steps

Choose salon

Consult a master

Sign up for a consultation with the master to explain what you need. At the meeting, you can discuss the upcoming procedure with the master. Explain to the piercer what type of piercing you need. Ask him or her the questions you have. At the end of the meeting, select jewelry with the master.

• If you want to have a piercing done by a master of a certain gender, please inform about it during the appointment or agree with the master yourself.
• Some masters do not perform the procedure on the day of the consultation, but many are ready to make a puncture right after the conversation. When registering, ask how it is customary to do in your chosen salon.

1. Take your passport with you. In many countries, nipple piercing can only be done by an adult. In order for the salon to make sure that you are of age, take a document with you.

   • Perhaps any other form of identification will suffice for the salon. Find out in advance what document the salon will need.

   Advice: if you are not yet the age of majority, you may need parental or guardian approval. Usually, parents or guardians come to the salon with the child to sign all the documents.

   Decide if you are ready to pierce both nipples at the same time. If you want to pierce two nipples, you can have both piercings at once or one at a time. While the pain is likely to be greater when piercing at the same time, it will be easier to care for two punctures at the same time. Tell the technician how many nipples you want to pierce.

   • Usually, having two nipples pierced at once is cheaper than piercing one at a time. Ask the technician if you can save money by piercing two nipples at once.

   Advice: The nipple can be pierced several times, but it is important to let it heal completely after each piercing. The puncture usually heals in 3–6 months, but it can take up to a year to heal completely.

   Choose a "barbell" or puncture ring. Nipple piercings are usually pierced with straight jewelry (“barbells”) or rings. Rings are more popular, but the barbell is easier to hide and harder to hit. Talk to a craftsman about jewelry and choose the one that you like.

   Choose vertical or horizontal puncture. Horizontal punctures are more popular, but vertical nipple punctures can also be used. Decide which piercing you prefer and let the technician know about your choice.

   • If you are not sure what you need, consult a professional or study pictures of nipple piercings.

Make a puncture

Treat the puncture site

1. Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Germs and bacteria can collect on your hands and cause infections. Wet your hands with warm water and then lather with a mild, unscented soap. Lather your hands for 30 seconds and then wash off the lather. Dry your hands with a dry towel.

   • Make sure the towel is clean and dry. If the towel gets dirty, germs can get back on your hands.

2. Remove the bandage 4-5 hours after the puncture. Remove the bandage carefully. Try not to hurt your skin or jewelry. You may feel pain when removing the dressing.

   • If the technician gives you advice on how to remove the bandage, follow them.

3. Rinse off the crusts with warm water. Place the teat under warm water to loosen the crust. Then carefully remove them with your hands from the nipple and jewelry. Be gentle and do not pull on your skin.

   • You can also soften the crusts in a cup of warm water. When they get wet, remove them with clean hands.

4. Apply a mild, unscented cleanser to your piercing. Apply a small amount of soap to your fingertips, then gently transfer the soap to your nipple. Foam the soap around the nipple and piercing for 5-10 seconds. Try not to rub your skin.

   • You don't need to leave soap on the nipple. This will dry out and the puncture will take longer to heal.

5. Wash off the soap immediately to avoid irritation. Place the teat under running water to rinse off the soap. Rinse the skin until all the soap is removed.

   • Do not leave soap on your skin for more than 30 seconds.

6. Treat the piercing once a day for the first 4 weeks. After the first treatment, you will need to clean the puncture site once a day with a mild antibacterial soap. Apply unscented soap to the piercing while you shower and rinse thoroughly.

   • Wipe the puncture with a clean towel each time, as bacteria can accumulate on dirty towels. It's important to keep the puncture out of contact with bacteria while it heals.

7. Soak the saline 1–2 times a day to speed up wound healing. Dissolve a quarter tablespoon (1.5 grams) of non-iodized salt in 50 milliliters of warm distilled water. Pour the solution into a cup and dip the nipple into it. Soak the nipple in water for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with clean water and pat dry with a clean paper towel.

   • You can repeat the procedure twice a day until the puncture heals.
   • Do not use table salt, which contains iodine. Iodine can irritate the wound and slow down the healing process.
   • Instead of this solution, you can use saline, which is sold at the pharmacy.

Take care of your piercing

1. Cover your piercing at night to avoid injuring your nipple. Apply a bandage overnight. Cover the piercing with sterile gauze and secure it with surgical tape, or sleep in a sports bra. Also, wear a tank top or pajamas to prevent your piercing from snagging the bedding.

   • You can buy sterile gauze and a patch at the pharmacy.
   • Remove the dressing in the morning as exposure to air will speed healing.

2. Do not use antiseptics as they slow down healing. Do not use wound care products as they may slow the puncture healing process or irritate the skin. Discard the following remedies:

   • Plain or isopropyl alcohol. These products are astringent and are not suitable for sensitive nipple skin.
   • Hydrogen peroxide and iodine products. They prevent new skin formation and slow down the healing process.
   • Antibacterial creams and gels. Antibacterial creams (such as Bacitracin) should not be used on nipple punctures, as they make the wound moist and prevent quick healing.
   • Do not use sun lotion, baby oil, or tea tree oil on the piercing, as these are all irritating to the skin.

3. Do not touch or gouge the piercing. It is important to avoid excessive contact with the piercing while it heals. Bacteria can pass from the hands into the wound, which can lead to inflammation. Do not let your partner touch the piercing with your hands or tongue. If you need to touch the puncture, first wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap or wear gloves.

   • Avoid twisting or pulling on the jewelry for the first few months, unless necessary to care for the wound, or the wound will not heal.
   • Use caution in playing sports and physically demanding work, as rough contact may cause jewelry to come off.
   • You can cover the piercing with a bandage during exercise, but the bandage must be removed immediately after completion of the work, and the puncture must be thoroughly rinsed.
   • Do not remove the jewelry until the wound is completely healed.

4. Know the signs of infection. If you take good care of your puncture, you will not get an infection. But if the piercing becomes inflamed, you will need to fight the infection. Signs of infection include pain, redness, and discharge of blood or pus. If you experience these symptoms, see your doctor.

   • Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to treat the infection.
   • Do not remove the jewelry as the puncture may heal. Because of this, the inflammation can worsen, since moisture will not leave the puncture.
   • If your doctor recommends that you get jewelry, do so at the salon. Do not take out the jewelry yourself.

   Warning: If you have a fever and chills from an infection, see your doctor as soon as possible. It is unlikely that something serious will happen to you, but the possibility of a toxic shock cannot be ruled out, which will require prompt medical intervention.

5. Give the wound 3-6 months to heal. When proper care nipple punctures usually heal in 3–6 months. In the first few days, the nipple will hurt, but gradually the pain will subside. Continue caring for the puncture sites until the piercing has healed.

   • Remember that some people have nipple piercings that take up to a year to heal. In addition, the nipple can reject the decoration. If the nipple is inflamed or bleeding all the time, it may mean that the body is resisting the puncture.

Nipple piercings are one way of expressing yourself. For girls, this type of body modification is not only an excuse to acquire bright and original jewelry.

Nipple piercing is a procedure that, according to body modification experts, can increase sensitivity and get rid of certain defects. How harmless is this procedure? How long does a piercing take to heal? What is the truth in the words of the salon employees, and what is just persuasion?

A bit of history

The pioneers of nipple piercing were far from fragile girls. They were not at all representatives of the fair sex. After all, nipple piercing was invented by the Praetorians. The bodyguards of the head of the Roman Empire had such a decoration on their bodies in a big trend. They saw nipple piercings as a symbol of courage, courage, strength.

It is not easy to imagine a praetorian who, preparing for a nipple piercing procedure, asks his comrade: "Does it take a long time to heal?"... The personal guards of the wise Caesar and other rulers of the era of Antiquity were strong guys. They didn't care about how quickly a small puncture in the nipple heals. And they hardly consulted with each other on how to care for the pierced body part.

However, modern girls have little in common with the Praetorians. Nevertheless, nipple piercing is regularly discussed in thematic forums. Questions about how painless this procedure is, what should be the further care and how long the puncture site heals, do not lose their relevance. Oddly enough, even languid girls, unable to endure pain in Praetorian style, are attracted by this type of piercing.

What prompts them to voluntarily agree to the execution? Indeed, in order to have such an adornment on the body, one must not only go through several painful minutes. The wound heals after the procedure for a long time.

Nipple piercings: a way to increase sensitivity

Some of the fairer sex undergo a procedure, which, according to reviews, is far from the most pleasant, solely to enhance sexual sensations. The question of how effectively the piercing of female nipples increases the sensitivity cannot be answered unequivocally.

1. After all, it all depends on individual characteristics. In most cases, piercings really do heighten the physical sensations.
2. The main thing is to remember that a small wound heals for a long time and painfully if you touch it regularly.

Inverted nipple piercing

The fight against body flaws is another reason why the work of body modification masters will always be in demand. In some women, the shape of the nipples is imperfect. This part of the mammary gland can be retracted or sunken, which, from a male point of view, deprives its owner of erotic attractiveness.

Nipple piercings give shape and expression to the breasts. In addition, there are many accessories on sale that improve the aesthetic effect. But we'll talk about what jewelry for nipple piercing exists later. First, a few words should be said about the types of this body modification.

How is nipple piercing done?

It depends on the desired result.

There are the following types of piercings:

• vertical;
• horizontal;
• diagonal;
• multi-piercing.

The horizontal puncture is most in demand. This type of piercing allows you to use ring jewelry.

As for the procedure, the master follows the following scheme:

1. Examination of the nipple to determine the size of the jewelry.
2. Choosing an earring for nipple piercing.
3. Consultation with the master (the specialist lists the factors under the influence of which the puncture heals for a long time).
4. The client completes a health questionnaire (for some diseases, wounds heal slowly, and in such cases, the procedure should be abandoned).
5. Sterilizing the piercing kit.
6. Wipe with a disinfectant solution.
7. Piercing with a sterile needle.

At the end of the procedure, the master inserts the decoration and seals the puncture site with a plaster.

How long does a nipple piercing heal?

In order for the healing process to proceed as painlessly as possible, certain rules must be followed:

• do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, solarium, pool;
• do not steam the puncture site in the shower;
• do not expose to mechanical stress (as far as possible).

The puncture site heals quickly if you strictly follow the recommendations of the master. As a rule, experts recommend gluing the piercing with a plaster, doing regular baths with a special solution.

The main condition of care is to keep bed and underwear clean. If this is not done, the puncture will not heal quickly. Moreover, an infection will get into the piercing, which will lead to unpleasant consequences.

The maximum term is six months. When the piercing takes longer to heal, you should see your doctor. The first two weeks require special care. During this period, a channel is formed. Chlorhexidine or miramistin are commonly used to treat piercings.

The choice of the master

It's important not only to know how to care for your piercing. First of all, you need to find a good specialist. The puncture site heals quickly if the procedure is performed professionally. When choosing a salon, you should pay attention to the type of sterilization. The best option is a vacuum autoclave.

There is a misconception that some types of special solutions can not only prevent infection, but also kill the hepatitis virus. Such sterilizers have not yet been invented. But when using a vacuum autoclave, the instrument is sterilized within fifteen minutes. The procedure is risk-free. The puncture subsequently heals as quickly as possible.

Negative consequences

What do the opponents of piercing say about this procedure? Usually, their arguments are based on the consequences that occur in the skin of a person with certain diseases. Piercing has contraindications. A small wound or puncture heals slowly if the epithelialization process is disturbed.

Diseases for which piercing cannot be done:

1. hepatitis C;
2. epilepsy;
3. diabetes.

The puncture site heals slowly, also if the procedure was carried out during menstruation. And, probably, needless to say, pregnant women need to avoid visiting a piercer.

The point is not that during the period of bearing a child, the wound heals more slowly than usual. The body of a pregnant woman is being rebuilt. Even a harmless event (not to mention a procedure after which a small wound heals over several months) can have a negative impact on him.

Piercing is a means of self-expression that is characteristic only of the rebellious spirit. How else to explain the desire to pierce a part of the body visible (or invisible) to others? For some, such a modification is a vivid example of aesthetics, a way to express oneself and distinguish oneself, while for others it is an opportunity to enhance the sensitivity of the most piquant parts of the body. In this article, we will talk about nipple piercings, and also find out the feedback from those who have experienced this mini transformation.

Let's start with history

Piercing is not a fad in the 21st century, but an ancient way to decorate your body using metal earrings and chains. Through archaeological excavations, we learned that both women and men actively used elaborate jewelry that was fixed on the body. For example, tunnels in the ears, which now can reach more than 30 centimeters in diameter, are vigorously discussed by haters of modification. However, few people know that such a body shaping was practiced, and it is even practiced today in the Karen tribe. They inhabit the territory of Myanmar, and the stretching of the earlobes is the basis of their culture.

The main benefits of nipple piercing

According to numerous reviews about nipple piercing, we can say that this procedure allows not only to decorate the body, but also to increase sensitivity. Let's take a look at all the positive aspects of the modification:

We are against the procedure!

Why is modification causing negativity in many people? The main reason is fear. People who only "pierced" their ears in early childhood using an automatic pistol doubt whether piercing their nipples hurts or not.

• The procedure is disgusting. Piercing is clearly not suitable for those who are afraid of the sight of blood. In addition, after piercing, the injured area will be inflamed for some time and must be regularly treated with antiseptics.
• The procedure can lead to complications. With improper care, the wounds can begin to fester, and that is why it is important to follow all the recommendations of a specialist.
• Inexperienced master. An attempt to save money can lead to the development of a cyst, so this procedure should only be carried out by a qualified master.

Does it hurt?

Reviews of nipple piercing prove that this procedure is painful, but it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body (pain threshold, sensitivity).

Reviews and opinions

Both girls and guys are interested in many questions: "How long does it take for wounds to heal? How to properly care for it? Is it possible to lose sensitivity?" To give the correct answer, you need to study reviews of nipple piercings.

How is nipple piercing done (in detail)

Piercing is not a surgical procedure, so no special tools or operating unit are required. However, the technician must comply with the necessary hygiene requirements in order to pierce the nipples as accurately and safely as possible.

• First, the specialist puts on disposable gloves, having prepared a cotton swab, a sterile needle in a package, and an antiseptic in advance.
• Secondly, the nipple is disinfected (most often with an alcohol solution) to prevent infection from entering the wound.
• Thirdly, using a cotton swab, the area is treated with ointment, which has an anesthetic effect. You can also use a special spray that reduces the sensitivity of the nipple during the puncture.
• Fourth, the nipple is manually kneaded to bring it to an erect state. Then the master will be able to outline the future puncture site.
• Fifth, by slightly pulling the nipple, the specialist gently pierces the skin, and then inserts a medical steel jewelry. The wounds are treated with chlorhexidine, covered with a bandage and fixed with a plaster.

Now the "modified" person himself should think about caring for the piercing, properly caring for and treating the wounds until complete healing.

Danger of nipple piercing

It is important to understand that piercing is an individual matter, and it is almost impossible to predict how the body will react to changes. While some have increased sensitivity and are excited even by rubbing their nipples on a T-shirt, others worry that their piquant place does not respond to touch. But the main danger in nipple piercing is infection and the long healing period.

It will be difficult to put on a bra initially, so it’s best to ditch it. You can also forget about lace underwear, because a bar or a ring can catch on the underwear and cause discomfort. Both men and women should choose loose-fitting clothing, especially if the healing process is accompanied by discomfort.

The most common consequences of piercing are wound suppuration, loss of sensation, and blockage of the milk ducts. In each case, it is important to go to a specialist, but not to a local salon, but to a medical center. In the worst case, the infection can lead to the development of cysts and neoplastic growths.

What is nipple piercing

Nipple piercings have been popular since the time of the praetorian warriors, when it was believed that the owner of the jewelry had great courage and courage. Nowadays, nipple piercing is done not only by men, but also by women. There are a number of reasons for this, the first of which is aesthetic. Of course, each person has their own opinion on this, but many consider it beautiful. Some people want to correct small defects, with flat nipples, the piercing raises them, they become more convex and expressive. Another reason to get pierced is to increase sensitivity. After piercing, the nipples become more receptive, and the intensity of sensations increases several times. Since the puncture procedure is quite painful, you should evaluate your capabilities.

Where to get pierced

When you need to get a nipple piercing, it is best to contact a trusted salon in Moscow. It is advisable not to go to places where prices are suspiciously low. After the procedure, done by an amateur, serious complications are likely - allergic reactions, damage to the milk canals and even division of the nipple. Of course, the price of a nipple piercing will differ depending on the level of the center, but you should not save in this case. The quality of the procedure affects the health and the ability for a woman to breastfeed her baby in the future.

How is it going

Nipple piercing is done only in an excited state; before the procedure, the master disinfects the puncture site, marking the necessary places with a special marker. Standard tools are used - clamps, needles. At the client's request, a local anesthetic is applied, usually lidocaine or a special anesthetic cream. It is worth highlighting several options - horizontal, vertical, diagonal and multi-piercing, in which several punctures are made in the nipple at once. A standard horizontal puncture is usually chosen. With a fresh puncture in the form of jewelry, rods are used, in the future it will be possible to choose a more suitable option. After the procedure, you cannot go to the bathhouse for some time, visit open water bodies, in any way injure the nipple additionally. It will be necessary to seal the piercing with a breathable plaster, carefully observe hygiene, put on a clean T-shirt at night and treat the wound. Then, during healing, the piercing will bring only positive emotions and aesthetic pleasure.
