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.

WHAT TO EXPECT

CONSULTATION & ANATOMY CHECK

We’ll discuss your goals, assess your anatomy, answer any questions, and make sure this piercing is right for you.

MARKING & PLACEMENT

Your piercer will carefully mark the placement and allow you to review it before proceeding.

The piercing is performed using a sterile, single-use needle and professional jewelry.

THE PIERCING

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and have time to ask any additional questions.

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
