ABOUT THIS PIERCING

Nipple piercings are placed through the base of the nipple, typically in a horizontal orientation.

They can be pierced individually or as a pair and styled with different decorative ends once fully healed.

Placement and jewelry sizing are especially important for this piercing because nipple anatomy varies significantly from person to person.

Your piercer will assess your anatomy beforehand to determine the safest placement and appropriate jewelry size.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

HEALING & AFTERCARE

Nipple piercings require patience during healing.

Keep the area clean, avoid unnecessary touching or movement, and be mindful of clothing or activities that may snag, compress or irritate the jewelry.

GOOD TO KNOW

Nipple size, shape, and projection vary, so placement and jewelry sizing are customized to your anatomy.

Anatomy Matters

Nipple piercings may feel comfortable before they are completely healed internally. Full healing often takes several months.

Healing Takes Time

Once swelling has settled, shorter jewelry may be recommended to reduce excess movement and snagging.

Downsizing May Be Recommended

Tight clothing, towels, loofahs, and accidental pulling can irritate a healing nipple piercing, so take extra care around the area.

Avoid Pressure & Snagging

FAQs

Yes. Many people actually find a clean, supportive bra more comfortable during early healing because it limits movement. Choose something that does not place excessive pressure on the jewelry.
Usually, yes, but avoid activities that cause significant friction, pressure, or pulling around the chest while the piercings are fresh. Shower and change out of sweaty clothing afterward.
Sensitivity can temporarily change during healing. Some people report increased sensitivity, some notice little difference, and others may experience decreased sensitivity. Long-term changes vary from person to person.
