Some Q&A
Can you breast feed with a nipple piercing? Yes, you can. If the piercing is done correctly ( not too shallow or to deep, through the nipple for the females and where the nipple ends and the areola begins for males). Most women claim they had no complications when it came time to nurse.
I have inverted nipples, can i still get them pierced? Yes, in most cases nipple piercings can even change the structure of the nipple making it more like a "normal" nipple.
Can I take them out if I no longer want them? Of course. If they are new they just close up immediately but if you have had them for a while they may take a lot longer to close and in some cases they may never close just get smaller.
Can I get Breast cancer from nipple piercings? So far nipple piercing's have not been linked to breast cancer development.
What is Rejection? Rejection is a cause. Rejection happens due to a foreign object (Nipple jewelry) in your body and for whatever reason your body deciding it cannot stay there and begins to push it from where it was initially pierced.
What is Migration? Migration is a symptom. A process of movement that slowly brings your body jewelry closer and closer to the skins surface.
Should I wear a bra or not when i first get it done? To me wearing a bra felt a lot better. but you can always test it out for yourself and see what works for you.
Healing time for a nipple piercing
Usually 2-6 Months depending largely on breast size, If bigger than a C, D+ may take 6 months- 1 year to heal.
Correct jewelry for fresh piercing
The second to last barbell for when you just get it pierced to accommodate swelling then switch to smaller ones once it has healed.

After Care

- Rotate the jewelry while cleaning the area.
- Rinse all of the piercing site and jewelry until all soap has been removed.
- If you have to use a over the counter pain reliever.
- Handle the piercing only when necessary.
Irritation will happen do to all of the pulling, tugging, and general roughness a nipple piercing goes through during the day.
