Get the piercing, they grow back. Tattoos are forever, they age horribly, and most people who aren't completely covered in them end up regretting it when they grow up whether they will admit it or not....0

Ugh, I want a nipple piercing sooooo bad, and I also want a tiny cursive tattoo on my back one day.0

Ignorance in a quote box... Love it.
I've seen plenty of old people with tattoos that look great.
Anyways, everyone is afraid of their first tattoo or piercing. I can't really have piercings anymore but I got mine when I was young (18ish). Same with my tattoos. Sure they hurt but it's really not that bad. Just talk to a good tattoo artist, he'll have recommendations so your first doesn't hurt too bad.
I've used numbing cream before (my back will twitch a lot) and they help a LITTLE.0 -

^Agree 100% with this awesome person right here. I have never really pierced anything besides my ears, so I can't really speak from experience to benefit you in that category. But I do have tattoos. And I appreciate and love every single one of them. There is pain, granted, but its bearable. And definitely worth it. I would recommend getting something small for your first tattoo, that way if you want more/larger ones, you know what to expect.0 -

Ha! You've seen much more people that didn't.... A lot of people get tattoos when they are young then act like they don't regret the stupid thing on their back that doesn't even reflect their personality 30 years later. The person who invents cheap, easy, and painless tatt removal is going to make trillions $$$0 -

Amazing! I agree that we should shave with salt water!

If you must get tattoos take care that you get them in easily concealable places. I've spent decades in corporate management and cannot stress enough that you should not get any job killers. IE tattoos on the face neck or hands. That makes you mostly unemployable. Also keep in mind that if you get something on your calf or arms/shoulders be prepared to wear pants and or long sleeves to work the rest of your life or else you have to cover it them with a large bandages. Not the most attractive option. Got an ankle tatt? Forget those cute shoes the rest of the women get to wear. I see socks in your future... Use your brain, you are going to grow up and have responsibilities. Don't do anything that will limit you in the future.0

I have two tattoos. One, as it happens, is of a nipple piercing. The other, located on my left forearm, is of a mirror. That way, when I am out on a date and the girl wants to check her makeup, I just roll up my sleeve.0

While I agree... kinda...
Not everyone wants to work a corporate job. If you are telling me that all good jobs require to conceal your tattoos than that's just asinine.
I may be in the Navy but I have friends who work corporate jobs who have sleeves, leg tats, ect... (And no they do not regret them.) I do agree that a neck tat is a killer.0 -
Nipple piercings hurt, but were bearable.0

I don't have one, but I'm a fan of them on men.
Unfortunately the military is less of a fan so what was once there is now gone.0 -

There are always exceptions bust most jobs, corporate or mom and pop require a clean cut professional appearance and most will have you cover your tattoos. Many employers also look down on people with a lot of tattoos whether it's fair or not it happens everyday. Some people are paid less and have less opportunity for advancement because of "certain appearances". Life is hard enough without you getting in your own way before you even know any better.0 -
get both!
I got my nipples done. Everyone's pain tolerance is different, but I don't think they hurt that bad at all. just make sure you clean them well so they don't get all nasty and infected. if you have any other questions feel free to message me.0 -
Have both. How it feels to get a tattoo depends on location and other factors, it can be anywhere from a minor annoyance to painful. Fleshier areas (fleshy part of shoulder) tend to hurt less while those less fleshy (top of foot) can hurt more. It can feel like a hot razor blade just under the skin.
Nipple piercing feels different for different people, mine hurt like hell for a couple seconds and then was fine. The needle used is hollow and actually removes a small piece to create the hole.
Both require after treatment, the tattoo should be kept moist ointment and covered. The piercing must be kept clean and can take months to fully heal.
My opinion, get what you want. If you have a tattoo design in mind that has some meaning to you then go for, if it's some random pic from an artists portfolio then maybe the piercing is a better idea for now. If you decide you no longer like the piercing just take it out, the tattoo isn't as easy to remove if you change your mind.
Also remember that placement can be important depending on your future profession and also that some people can be very judgmental.
Hope this helps, good luck.0 -

Tattoo. No regrets here. Just don't get YOLO or anything trending right now, because in 20 years it wont be trendy and just look silly.0

I have my nipples pierced. It hurt like hell and it takes some time to heal but I love them. I will say though that it goes by incredibly fast though since you said your scared.0

I agree with part one, but not with part two. If you want to something merely for the feeling of freedom and such, get a piercing (since you can always take them out and basically erase the marks from them). If you want something on your body that you feel as though would rather have some meaning or be decorative, get a tattoo. I am a huge fan of body modifications, but i don't get tattoos impulsively.
You just want to make sure it's something you truly want with you for the rest of your life, you know? That being said, i've also seen plenty of really nice tattoos on older people. Besides, tattoos are not about pleasing others with your body. They're about being happy, expressive, etc. Long story short- make sure if you get a tattoo it's for a reason outside of wanting to be rebellious. BUT don't let the prospect of growing old stop you (which is mere ignoranceeee).
I have quite a few piercings and i have both of my nipples pierced. What kind of advice are you looking for?0 -
I have had many piercings and a few tattoo's, best to look up pain by area of body for tattoo's to get an idea of what an easy place for you to get a tattoo would be, I chose some of the most painful places for my first few but I took it like a champ, no crying and 3 hours of work (2 hours in one session alone) and the most painful part was when I had the front of my upper left thigh done as it felt like a sharp jolt into my knee when they got about 1/2 way complete on the front facing part of my tattoo... otherwise it really wasn't that bad. Getting a piercing however is dependent on the person, some people take NSAIDS shortly before the piercing to help deal with the pain right off the bat, I suggest not to... it can lead to bleeding more than you normally would which is frustrating (at least was for me, learned to just bite the bullet and make sure I was relaxing though the rest of the day after a larger or more painful piercing)
I last pierced over a closed scarred monroe (scarring under skin) and it was ridiculously painful and took a bit longer to heal, however the first time around it hurt less than my nasal piercing. I would think since nipples can be a sensitive area you might want to consider the possible pain that area would have...0 -

Well outside of the exploitive private sector and into an accepting and modern sector such as public services I would hope you would not turn down a life saving operation from a sugeon with full sleeves. Unless of course you want to stick by your corporate image theory all the way best thing I ever did was leave the private sector.
Why is it the private sector is always so far behind in equality? The wage difference between men and women is only just being closed in the private sector, LGBT and disability rights are bare minimum in the private sector still.... Meanwhile I'll be happy working in my job with LGBT people, people covered in tattoos and disabled people empowered to work.
Everything you said confirms exactly why I will never work in the private sector.

I have 9 piercings and 3 tattoos. I can tell you that the tats hurt for a longer period of time, but the nipple piercings will hurt more intensely. Like, a lot. It's over with fast, and they stay sore for a couple of weeks. They take a long time to heal because they are deep tissue wounds and if you go to a piercist who is not experienced, they can damage the nerves, rendering your nipples completely insensitive. Also, you'll need to wear padded bras or else the piercing will be visible through clothing.
On the other hand, a piercing can be temporary. If you're not absolutely sure about a tat, don't get it. It is forever, and you might at some future date regret it's placement or theme.
I love all of my jewelry and ink, and I work in a professional environment and no one has an issue with them, but in certain professions, you might have to really think about tat placement.0 -
The bit that gets me about tattoos is what happens if you change your mind and what will it look like in 30/40 years time? At least most piercings will heal up but generally your stuck with your tatts0

*shrug* I'm an editor for a newspaper. No one here cares about my eyebrow ring or visible ink. It all depends on which profession you're in. I'm not sure I would want to pursue one that was so restrictive.0
