How dangerous is getting a nipple piercing?

Question

I've been tossing the idea around for months now, and internet research has given me a pretty broad spectrum of possibility's; from it's just fine with strict proper care to a %50 chance of having a horrific infection.

I just need some good old fashion advice from people with experience with this stuff. I don't really know if this is important, but I'm 19 and have a B/C-ish cup size(depending on the bra designer).

Answer 1

I think 50% is a high chance. I have had friend who had nipple rings and all of them took them out. I wouldn't do it. Too risky and painful!

Answer 2

i think nipples piercings are for freaks and if your only nineteen, i wouldn't do it  

Answer 3

Not dangerous if you go to a good clean professional piercing salon.  I pierced mine when I thought I was cool in the 9th grade, but I used a safety pin.  Wasn't so smart... especially when I decided to take it out a week later...those things are spring loaded.

Answer 4

d-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s!!

and grosss

Answer 5

DANGEROUS

Answer 6

Not that dangerous if you care for it.  But it does take a good long while to heal to the point it doesn't ooze.  I know because it is one of the few piercing I have kept at this point (I was originally pierced back in the 80s)  The piercing itself doesn't hurt much.. but I will tell you that it was one of the most painful to heal up.  For a good week, every time your shirt touches it you wince.  I can't imagine how you would wear a bra during healing, I used a tight 'wife beater' type tee shirt to keep my shirt from rubbing it too much.  

Answer 7

sweetie i wouldnt do it! your only 19! I PROMISE you will regret it later on in life!!! Besides keep your privatess...well...PRIVATE!!!

Answer 8

Hey, I had both my nipples pierced last summer, with no complications at all.  Yeah, it hurt, and yes they were sore afterwards, but with proper care, the risk of infection is low.

I was in a similar situation: 18, C-cup.... but I just went for it, and so glad I did :)  I cleaned it twice daily with a sea salt soak, and they healed perfectly.

Answer 9

that wouldnt hurt in your bra

Answer 10

its tha same as getting any other piercing no risk i work at a piercing store called piercing kigdom we have had p**n stars such as Alexis Texas get her ears pierc here .......... Good Luck.................. it will hurt

Answer 11

Proper after care is the key.  My wife and I both have pierced nipples and never had any problems.  Keep a bottle of antibacterial soap in the shower and wash your piercings last.

I hope you are ready for some pain when you get them done, it hurts down to your soul!
