Nipple Piercing? Tattoo?

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.

You are the dumbest box of rocks I've ever seen post here, and that is saying something.

I have 12 tatoos and they don't hurt and they look awesome, go for it :-)

I recommend clitoral hood piercings. They come with bonus orgasms.

got both, had a numbing spray on my nipples before they were pierced, never felt anything apart from a slight tug,
finished my lunch break went back to work.
as for tattoo's I have quite a few and I've lost track of the amount of times people have said "don't you think you'll regret those when your older?"
well I'm 43 now and never had a moments regret! and to be honest when I'm 80 I'll be more worried about my saggy *kitten* and saggy moobs than what my tattoo's look like!

Nipple piercings hurt less then nostril for me! The downside to them is waiting until they fully heal which can be up to a year for some people, and even increase sensitivity! (woot for the latter)

Only once have I regretted my piercings, and when I'm 'done' with then It's just a matter of removal and healing.

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....

I enjoy over generalization as much as the next.

I have been tattoo'd and peirced for a while.. The thing I have learned.. .everyone has an opinion and yours is obviously not the same as mine. However; piercing grows back but they do leave scars, trust me I have plenty... at least my tattoos are still pretty.

Do I have regrets about any of my tattoos? Nope, not one. They all tell a part of me at the time I got the tattoo, they are all well thought out, and with the exception of one (it was flash art for a charity) they are all custom and only I have them.

OP, if you are serious. Research. Research. Research. Go to a shop, as a lot of questions - if they are shady or change subject walk out. Ask to see their equipment, ask about their cleaning practices, I know where I am they have health inspection certification, their autoclave is inspected regularly - they have those inspections as well and they are never afraid to show it.
Ask people you know who have them done. Look at portfolios, see if they have a facebook page, read their reviews, stay away from home "shops". You get what you pay for cheaper is not better - Remember that. You do not want an infection.

You are just finishing college - be mindful of your profession. Are piercings and tattoos a big deal? Will they prevent you from advancing in your chosen field of work?

Nipple piercings - no one needs to know, tattoos though can be seen so use your head. Covering a tattoo on your arm/leg/back etc. is pretty easy, something on face/neck/ hands less so.

Most artists and piercers are more than willing to answer any questions you have, and don't be afraid to shop around before settling on a place you are comfortable.

Edited for errors.

Since nipple piercings hurt a lot, take a long time to heal, and can deaden sensation, I would actually propose something better:

Vertical hood piercing.

Before you cringe and say no, hear me out! The hood is such a thin piece of tissue, it's literally like sticking a pin through a napkin. There's a sharp sting for a split second, and then the pain gets confused with pleasure because of where it is, and it dies down quick into a sort of background hum. The jewelry is not just aesthetic, it's functional: it can vastly improve your sex life and make orgasm easier to achieve during penetration. Also, men tend to be fascinated by it. It heals completely in about two weeks, can be taken out for long periods without the hole closing up, and you'll never have an employer complain about it.

^^So much this.

Healing time on nipple piercings can be between 4-6 MONTHS.....and if you run into any complications, it can be longer.

VCH healing time is about 4-6 weeks (but can be less) and comparable to ear lobe piercings. And yes, the added benefits are nice.

I agree with a hood piercing. I've had nips and hood done. After several years, the nip piercings just got old and tired and a nuisance. Not so with my VCH!

Love my tattoos. I removed all of my piercings a while back and have some nasty scars. Either way it has a permanent effect on your body, but I say do both.

Wanna do something completely original that other people finishing college don't usually do?
