i had both of my nipples pierced. the first one wasn't bad, the second eeeoouuch!!
i had issues with mine healing. after a year they still weren't healed all the way, and a lot of the time they hurt.
i had rings done first and then switched to curved barbells to hopefully help with healing, and even that didn't work.
i have a VCH and that didn't hurt at all and healed up right away. i also have several tattoos.
good luck with your decision. i loved my nipples being done, i just couldn't stand the discomfort after a year!!!!0 -

ive been seriously considering a vch for a couple years now - but im scared lol0 -
I USED to have my eyebrow, lip, tongue, nose, and both nipples. But my husband didnt like them so now i'm piercing free. As far as pain goes I would rate the most painful my lip, then nipples, eyebrow, nose, tongue. But even the lip wasnt too horrible. Just the healing was kinda a pain. With your nipples just make sure to get bactine with the pain medication in it or theyll get sore real fast. I used it constantly cause it was soothing. lol0

Lip ring, nose ring, industrial, triple helix (my favorite!), conch in each ear, tragus, and double piercings in each lobe. I also have a tattoo on my wrist but I'd like to get a massive back piece when I reach my goal weight. The most painful by FAR was the industrial. I let rip with some pretty colorful language in the piercing parlor when I got that one.0

Piercings and tattoos are pretty addictive for me. I'll make a breakdown list of mine as well
-lobes
-cartilage
-navel
-nose
-nipples (i'm with everyone else, the second hurt worse for me, it kinda was tough to get through the second side of the second nipple)
-lip (monroe)
-lip (lower right)
-microdermal under left eye (done for the second time, first one popped out after a little over a year)
I won't list the tattoos off....but I have my back done, working on sleeves on both arms, and foot tattoo
I say go for it girl! If you don't like it or it doesn't work out, as long as you care for it properly, you will be fine!0 -

Have been considering this toooo!!!!!!!! But totally scared!0 -
if you're built for it, it's a piece of cake piercing. truly does not hurt and heals up within 2 weeks.
the worst part is baring all for your piercer, especially if he's a guy..........0 -
Thank you all I have a lot to think about!0

Growing up as a teen i was pretty rebellious, so i went ahead and got piercing all over my face. LOL not really, just my nose, bottom and top lip, eye brow. On top of all of those, i got 6 piercing on each ear. Honestly i now hate the holes in the face. Lesson learned.0

I have my nose and my cartlilage & I've wanted my lip done for the longest time. I've made a deal with myself that when I get down to 200lbs, I'm going to get it done (I'm currently at about 238 or so) I also have a pretty odd piercing which is my tongue web (underneath my tongue) Which I absolutely LOVE. I also have 3 tattoos. A treble clef, notes, and stars on both feet and a cross inside a treble clef on a bar of music on my back! I want more! haha0

Ive slowly let all mine go as the years go. Sometimes I miss them and I get a wild hair to get a small one again. Id love my nose done. But, alas, I think Im too old to do it now.0

What about having your nipples pierced is fun? I don't get the fascination...But I will say that they are a whole lot of fun and I think I will get them done again some day.
Enlighten me.0 -
4. I don't usually wear anything. Except one or two for special occasions 0

I had. 3- two eyebrows and one down low. None now. For some reason nipple piercings never appealed to me. If you are unsure, make sure you do your research. While things heal, there is scar tissue to consider. Good luck with whatever you choose.0

Good call. I'll definitely try that next time.Just make sure they don't get peirced with a hoop first. It needs to be a bar until it heals. My friend is an amazing piercer and he had redone mine that were done with hoops and never healed, explaining the piercing needs 90 degrees around every angle to heal properly, and then you can switch it. Four on my ears never healed right until he redid them.
I have a surface piercing at my temple also. He talked me into it and its really unique and I love it, but I sort of hate all the questions I get when my hair is back and people notice it and ask how its in there. If you have to ask, you don't want to know;)0 -
I have my lip, tongue, and nose pierced. As well as my ears 8 times. I did my my tragus pierced, and my nipples. But they were rejected. I do not regret the tragus... I would NEVER have gotten my nipples peirced if I could go back in time. I took excellent care of mine and they never healed, they got infected. I've had them taken out since 2008 and I still have problems with it. I had to go get a mammagram and an ultrasound because my dr thought I had breast cancer because the infection just doesn't want to heal. And now, if I ever have kids, I doubt I will be able to breast feed, which is something I always wanted to do.
I would recomend getting the lip, tongue, or nose pierced before I would that.
And I personally thought getting the nipples pierced hurt ALOT while the other piercings honestly not so much, and they healed FAST.
I also have 3 tats and I'm planning on a LOT more.
Proverbs 31:10-31 on my right ankle
butterflies on my left shoulder
a pink shot glass on my wrist (You only get one shot at life)-this one has a LOT of meaning to me, I got it when I got sick, because of the piercing.0 -
Got 5...
2 on each ear and a navel
Was thinking about getting my nips pierced too..but i dunno...0 -
I'm getting nose pierced next week with my 17 year old daughter!0
-
Currently I only wear my tongue and my ears.
But I've had:
Nostril
Two lower lip
one Monroe
and a VCH, all of which have healed up.
I loved my nose but my stud fell out one night while I was sleeping and by the time I noticed, I couldn't get it back through.0 -
Oh wow!0

Had my nose done twice just recently took it out.
Microdermal on my sternum
Vertical clitoral hood
Honestly I say do it. My nose hurt the worst, *kitten* hurt the least. Funny how that s*it works lol!0 -
I have two holes in each ear and a HCH with a ring. That one hurt but healed in no time and I love it. My bf got his tongue done at the same time. And of course we got them hooked the first time we 'tested' them. Ouch....
I can't imagine getting nipples done - I think I'd pass out. You ladies are BRAVE!!!0 -
When I was in the 7th grade lol I got 6 holes added to my ears, and I regret it......Growing up as a teen i was pretty rebellious, so i went ahead and got piercing all over my face. LOL not really, just my nose, bottom and top lip, eye brow. On top of all of those, i got 6 piercing on each ear. Honestly i now hate the holes in the face. Lesson learned.

If you can get over the awkwardness of showing you vajayjay to a random person it's a little cold poke and your done lol!0 -
Just in case u wanna go for the nose, it is the hardest to heal. Even if u had it pierced for couple of months, if u remove the ring for a week it's gonna close up. u need it to totally heal before u can take a break from the nose ring. It's funny how the nose hurts the worst out of a of my piercings. My lips healed in a matter of five days while i was busy pampering my nose lol. But girl if u want a piercing definitely go for the lower lip.0

I know that if I Google some of these piercing placements, I'll have to boil my eyes... I'm refraining. Lol
I don't have any, but would like to get my nose done sometime. And whenever I see a stunning set of chandelier earrings, it makes me want to shove a pin through my lobes myself so i can wear them out of the store.
Working on a tattoo design for someday, when we can afford such luxury.0
