Nipple piercing

[Tessa James]

I have a sunshine tat on my right arm and as the muscle mass has changed my sun has set and sagged a bit.  Hard to know at 15 yo what our future will bring but yes tats are way more permanent than piercings.

Years ago I had nipple piercings but took them out long ago. My nipples are still growing even 17 months on HRT. So I would wait a while to get pierced. Also, the old locations on the nipple would not be the correct location now I also had the head of my penis pierced ( level 10 pain) and shaft skin in 2 locations ( no real pain).

I have 4 tats and 3 are large and all are not masculine ( clouded leopards, tiger and spotted panther). My tats took a very long time and the pain was manageable the piercings had an high pain but the duration was very short so manageable.

I was just thinking I would love to have my nips pierced again and my belly button

I second the belly button piercing!

I had a nipple piercing years ago also, but it got ripped out during a bit of a scuffle so now I have a rather odd looking split nipple    But silly me, I've been thinking about getting another one 

I'm not sure if it is better to just go for it or to wait a few years after starting HRT because there is a good chance that the nipples may expand along with your breast growth, my nipples have become at least twice as large after 5 or 6 years and so I would guess it to be better to wait

It may surprise a lot of people, but several women get nipple piercings

I'm totally thinking the same thing many have said. With the pain and sensitivity that comes from growing, I can only imagine a puncture wound there. I haven't put much thought into how my tattoos will change...

I actually have both nipples pierced - both were in for years before starting HRT.  I've not noticed any negative changes or movement to the piercings, even though I'm going through breast development.  Unless the piercer really goes deep into the areola, I don't see an issue.  Mine were pierced in my male-phase - even with the right nipple pierced deeper than the left (right at the base of the nipple/top of the areolar junction), I've not had issues.  I can feel the glandular disc just enough below the piercing.

I guess it also depends if you're nipples/areola will actually widen out while on HRT - mine haven't, so I've not needed to place wider rings.  Growing nipples shouldn't really be a big deal, though...I mean, well-endowed women have been getting nip pierced for a while, so I don't really see any difference or issue if you need to keep switching out, plus, it will give you a reason to try new designs, metals, or colors.  Mine are simple titanium 14g full hoops.

I love my piercings - evidently so does everyone else who's been lucky enough to find out...
