Piercing is a means of self-expression, which is characteristic only of a rebellious spirit. Otherwise, how to explain the desire to pierce the visible (or invisible) part of the body for others? For some, such a modification is a vivid example of aesthetics, a way to prove oneself and distinguish oneself, and for others - an opportunity to enhance the sensitivity of the most piquant parts of the body. In this article we will talk about nipple piercing, as well as get feedback from those who have experienced this mini-transformation.
Let's start with the story
Piercing is not a whim of spoiled children in the 21st century, but an ancient way to decorate your body using metal earrings and chains. Thanks to archaeological excavations, we learned that both women and men actively used skillful jewelry that was fixed on the body. For example, the tunnels in the ears, which can now reach a diameter of more than 30 centimeters, are vigorously discussed by haters of the modification. However, few people know that such body design was practiced, and even practiced today in the Karen tribe. They inhabit Myanmar, and the extension of the earlobes is the basis of their culture.
The main advantages of piercing nipples
According to numerous reviews of nipple piercings, we can say that this procedure allows not only to decorate the body, but also to increase sensitivity. Let's look at all the positive aspects of the modification:
- Pierced nipples look attractive and sexy. Some kind of such a breast is exciting and allows you to get a lot of pleasure during sex.
- Piercing is able to visually enlarge the breast. Of course, if you have the first size, then you should not hope for the appearance of a solid "troika".
- Reviews on the piercing of female nipples prove that such a jewelry can be used in BDSM. Practicing sadomasochism in sex, partners put on a chain or clothespins to the piercer to cause pain (on a voluntary basis).
We are against the procedure!
Why does modification cause negativity in many people? The main reason is fear. People who “pierced” only their ears in early childhood using an automatic pistol doubt whether it is painful to pierce their nipples 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 should be regularly treated with antiseptics.
- The procedure can lead to complications. With improper care, wounds can begin to fester, and that is why it is important to follow all the recommendations of a specialist.
- Inexperienced master. Trying to save money can lead to the development of cysts, so this procedure should only be performed by a qualified craftsman.
Does it hurt?
Reviews on nipple piercing prove that this procedure is painful, but it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body (pain threshold, sensitivity).
- If you use local anesthesia, then the pain during the puncture disappears. However, as soon as the effect of lidocaine disappears, unpleasant pain returns and will be present until the injured tissue heals.
- It is very important that the master understands the human anatomy. With proper puncture, you can feel neither discomfort, nor pain, nor the moment of puncture.
- You need to understand that within 1-2 months, the wounds will heal, and the body will adapt to a foreign body. Such unpleasant sensations as tingling, heaviness in the chest, aching pain, burning sensation during processing are possible. This is evidenced by numerous reviews of nipple piercing.
Reviews and Opinions
Both girls and boys are interested in a lot of questions: "How long do wounds heal? How to properly care? Is it possible to lose sensitivity?" To give the right answer, you need to study the reviews on nipple piercing.
- It is possible to prick without anesthesia. Painful sensations may be present, but they can be endured without additional medications. In most cases, the psychological attitude plays a role, so many, in order not to be afraid, simply close their eyes or turn away.
- The most unpleasant thing about piercing is to observe how the needle enters the skin. During the procedure, a small amount of blood appears, but a competent master immediately processes the injured place and stops it.
- Wounds heal on average in 2-3 weeks, but it all depends on individual characteristics and, of course, on care. In the best case, inflammation and edema subside within 10 days, and in the worst, after a few months you will have to open a purulent cyst.
- With a competent approach, the master will not harm the milky ducts and nerve endings, so even with a piercing in such an intimate place you can feed the baby and not worry that the channels will be blocked.
How is a nipple piercing performed (in detail)
A piercing is not a surgical procedure, so special tools and an operation unit are not required. However, the master must comply with the necessary hygiene requirements to pierce the nipples as accurately and safely as possible.
- Firstly, the specialist puts on disposable gloves, having previously prepared a cotton wool, a sterile needle in the package, and an antiseptic.
- 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. And you can also use a special spray that reduces the sensitivity of the nipple during a puncture.
- Fourth, the nipple is kneading by hand to bring it to an excited state. Then the master will be able to identify the future puncture site.
- Fifth, by slightly pulling the nipple, the specialist gently punctures the skin, and then inserts a jewelry made of medical steel. The wounds are treated with chlorhexidine, covered with a bandage and fixed with a band-aid.
Now, the "modified" person himself should think directly about caring for the piercing, properly caring and treating the wounds until healed.
Danger of nipple piercing
It is important to understand that piercing is an individual matter, and how the body will react to changes is almost impossible to predict. While some people increase their sensitivity and are even excited by rubbing their nipples on a T-shirt, others worry that their piquant place does not respond to touch. But the main danger in piercing the nipples is an infection and a long healing period.
Initially, it will be difficult to put on a bra, so it is best to abandon it. You can also forget about lace underwear, because the bar or ring may catch on the underwear and cause discomfort. Both men and women should choose loose clothing, especially if the healing process is accompanied by unpleasant sensations.
The most common effects of piercing are suppuration of the wound, loss of sensation and blockage of the milk ducts. In each case, it is important to contact a specialist, but not in the local salon, but in the medical center. In the worst case, infection can lead to the development of cysts and tumor neoplasms.
Proper care
Reviews on nipple piercing prove that with all the rules and recommendations from the master you can prevent complications. It is important to regularly treat the wounds with chlorhexidine or other similar means, in addition to alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. The procedure must be carried out several times a day, carefully processing not only the surface of the nipple, but also the decoration itself, carefully turning and moving it at the puncture site.
- Do not swim in ponds or a pool: any infection can lead to complications. It is better to avoid getting shampoo or shower gel in the wounds.
- Discard synthetic items until the wounds heal completely (natural tissues accelerate this process). You can use cotton or linen clothes.
- If an allergic reaction occurs, it is best to abandon the piercing and see a doctor. Perhaps your body simply did not accept a foreign body, which causes itching, irritation, rash.
Contraindications
Reviews on nipple piercing prove that it is not recommended to undergo such a modification if there are contraindications. A number of diseases and pathologies, because of which it is impossible to pierce the nipples for both men and women:
- Colds. Leave the modification until better times, until your body gets rid of the virus or infection. You must be completely healthy while undergoing the procedure. Temperature, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, headaches and weakness are the main symptoms of a cold, flu.
- Skin diseases. It is not recommended to pierce the nipples if you have psoriasis, seborrhea, eczema, lichen, dermatitis and other skin diseases.
- Anemia and poor blood coagulation.
- Diabetes mellitus of any type.
- Hepatitis A, B, C.
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- If an allergic reaction to the drug for anesthesia occurs.
Breastfeeding: nipple piercing reviews
In Moscow and in many cities of Russia, the procedure for piercing intimate places will cost you only 300-500 rubles, but many masters are tactfully silent about what consequences may be in the future. Experts simply don’t know if nipple piercing and breastfeeding are compatible. Let's understand the issue, based on numerous reviews:
- The modification does not deform the milk ducts, only 4-5 out of 30 existing suffer. Therefore, with proper piercing, you can still feed the baby.
- It is recommended to remove the earring during feeding, but only because with intensive movements the baby can loosen the fastener without noticing it. There is a risk that the jewelry will simply fall into the child’s mouth.
- Piercing can interfere with the full formation of the bite and cause pain in the baby.
- Removing the earrings is accompanied by pain, as sensitivity increases during lactation.
Breast Cancer: Myth or Reality
It is believed that nipple piercing leads to breast cancer. In fact, this is a myth that is not supported by any scientific facts. To cause the growth and development of malignant cells, piercing must have a carcinogenic effect on the intimate area, that is, contain pathogenic substances.
However, during breastfeeding in a punctured nipple, the risk of developing malignant tumors increases, so experts recommend getting rid of jewelry for lactation. In addition, repeated puncture is not prohibited and it will be possible to visit the master immediately after the termination of feeding.
