Nipple piercings? To get or not to get

Question

So I really want my nipples pierced and I've been researching and contemplating for over a year and really the only things holding me back are:
1. PAIN! Now I think I have a pretty high pain tolerance. The only thing that's been able to debilitate me so far is period cramps because as we all know they are sent from hell. I've got my belly button pierced, total breeze, 2 tattoos, kinda horrible but I survived, and my nose and it felt like a scab being ripped off. And the thing with my nipples is, I like them being bitten and it never hurts unless I'm PMSing and my boobs are sensitive so idk, y'all think it'll hurt much or maybe I'll get super turned on? 😳
2. If I ever have a baby, I'm breastfeeding. Now how will 2 extra holes in my nips affect that?

3. My nipples don't actually poke out unless it's cold or I'm aroused so how will this whole nipple piercing thing work? My nips are super tiny.

4. Lastly, I've read that it'll either make your nipples super sensitive or you won't be able to feel anything anymore, how do I try to achieve the latter?
Any and all comments from people who know what they're talking about are welcome! Thanks

Answer

I had no problems breastfeeding with two pierced nipples. Make sure you go to a skilled piercer - they will make sure to avoid the very center of your nipple where the bulk of the milk ducts are. (I took my jewelry out a couple years before, because I just got tired of it. But it's not necessary to do that- I wouldn't actually nurse with rings in, both for the baby's comfort / latch, and the risk of baby swallowing the bead.)

It does hurt a whole, whole lot! But it will be over soon. Maybe don't have it done while you are working as a house painter and wearing overalls every day! (I survived anyway, but damn, that was some unnecessary pain!)

The piercer will use forceps to hold your nipple, so small nipples are not a problem. Lots of guys get their nipples pierced.

As far as choosing what will happen to your nipples sensitivity-wise, I don't think that's really something you can control. You could mention it to your piercer, but I don't think they can do anything one way or another.

I say go for it the pain part I won't lie is sore as any piercing would be but it looks sexy as f*** 
If you get pregnant take them
Out by the time the baby comes it should be fine to breastfeed! 
I had one done and I don't regret it! Your man can still bite and suck!

Answer

You can still breastfeed after having your nipple done 😊

Answer

My cousin has 1 nipple pierced and was unable to breastfeed on 1 side. Mill came out of all 3 holes, her dr even told her to not feed on that side.

Answer

I had them for a few years and took them out while we were trying for a baby. I don't have a super high pain tolerance, so getting them pierced itself hurts pretty bad but it's quick. I suggest taking extra strength ibuprofen beforehand, it helps with swelling and pain. I also bought a comfy sports bra to wear afterward and I'm really glad I did. The healing process is an absolute bitch and it's the reason I took them out. It takes forever and you have to be VERY consistent with cleaning them! If you're good about taking care of piercings then it shouldn't be an issue. I've been told that breastfeeding should not be effected by having had them pierced and the holes are closed now anyway. I never had sensitive nipples so it made them more sensitive but not in a negative way, and it wasn't a HUGE change.
