Nipple piercings

Ahh! I'm getting my nipples pierced today! I'm so nervous and excited! My boyfriend has had his pierced for about 4 months now, and I love them. So I decided to just take the plunge and do mine too. We are going later today to get them done at a shop in town. He is a little nervous about watching another man touch my boobs, but he is going to be fine lol. Anyone have them pierced and have advice about the piercing itself and the aftercare?
