When is it "safe" to get one even though my boobs are still growing and what not.

I'm getting it done in celebration for my friend's 18th birthday.
Which will be in September, and i'll be over a year on HRT by then.

Just wanna get feedback.

Ask your doctor. You should see them by then. I honestly don't think it's entirely safe, but you never know, maybe it is.

Also, personal comment: GYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.

Hi Joey

Here is a link to a thread from a couple of months ago.

Nipple rings (MtF)

Are you thinking about bars, curved bars, rings, and/or shields?

If the nipple is not big enough to support the piercing, it has to be done through the areola.

Yikes!

I thought it had to go through the base of the nipple, and they just used a different gauge depending on the size. Piercing through the areola can lead to infections and stuff if a milk duct gets blocked...


Personally, I'm waiting till I've finished growing / decided if I'm getting implants. Nipple piercings already have a decently high chance of rejection. No sense stacking the odds against. And lots of other things I can punch bits of metal through in the meantime.

I'm not pierced ... yet ... but smaller gauge piercings tend to migrate.
So I'm told.

I had a safety pin in my left nipple during my young deathrocker/punker days    But then again I also had safety pins all over my face and they were all connected by silver chains that formed a spider web (Musicians can be strange folks)

Anyway, that was long before I ever knew transitioning was possible and the pin in my nipple got ripped out during a bit of a tussle

Being that you are on HRT, I would not recommend it unless you are a sadomasochist    But if that's the case, enjoy the pain

Although rare, some women with "inverted nipples" get areola piercings.

Not totally unheard of.  Male safety pin nipple piercing:



The good old days, huh?

No, not unheard of     But I've never seen anyone else with a spider web of silver chains (various necklaces hooked together to form a spider web) attached to one

Some people do go a little bit overboard



I'm hijacking Joey's thread

Tell me to stop!

LOL... That one's got me beat    Besides, my crazy hey days were 20-30 years ago

Poor Joey, sorry to jack your thread... If you want a nipple piercing go for it, just make sure to keep it in good shape so you don't get an infection and make sure it's not to heavy so you don't end up one perky and the other a sager

Hugs

I have considered barbells with shields.

Wish I could post a picture, but it would violate policy.  You'll have to look it up.

i know what they look like maybe just get rings or barbels and but the shields and wear them occasionally till you feel like you have full finished developing them you can wear them all the time
