Nipple piercing is one of the most popular forms of body piercing. Surprisingly, nipple piercings have been around for centuries. In ancient Roman times, warriors would get their nipples pierced to demonstrate loyalty to the Empire. Breast piercing was just as popular in England a hundred years ago. In high society, it was proper and even expected for women to have their nipples pierced to accentuate them through their thick garments during Victorian times. Today, society accepts nipple piercing as a bold fashion statement.

Thinking of having your nipples pierced? Don’t be shy! Some women are skeptical of exposing their breasts to piercing artists. The thing to keep in mind is that the piercing artist is a professional and does this work regularly. Even though you are not used to it-they are. Pain is also a reason why some hesitate to get a tit piercing. You just have to realize that the pain is only present for a second and then it is over.

Nipples can take anywhere from two to six months to heal. Healing times depend on the size of the nipples and whether or not any complications were experienced. The smaller breasts and nipples you have, the less time they will take to heal (Small breasts really do count for something!)

Following the nipple piercing procedure, there are a few guidelines that are strongly recommended to avoid infection and to promote comfort and proper healing. It is important to only touch the piercing with clean hands and to clean the piercing with antibacterial soap once a day. Soaking the nipples in sea salt will sooth the soreness and speed up the healing process. Some say that wearing a bra provides extra comfort during the healing process because it helps the jewelry to stay in place. A lot of women even sleep in their bras in the beginning!

Many men and women say that nipple piercings provide extra sensitivity and arousal. This is an added bonus to the fashion statement you are about to make with your new nipple piercing.
