airports and piercings?!?!

Question

i fly out in about a month and i have my nipples pierced, i’m flying with my dad aswell, and he doesn’t know i have them and i don’t want him knowing. i’ve had them about a year and they are healed and i change them frequently but am too afraid to leave them out for extended time. will they make the security go off ? should i buy plastic ones ?

Answer

My nose and belly never go off so I would assume yours are fine!

Answer

I would get plastic ones if that’s an option just to be safe. Also don’t wear ones that are too noticeable. Or just wear a light jacket. ☺️

Answer

I’ve never had mine go off and most airports do the X-ray more than the metal detector

Answer

piercing jewelry is usually made of surgical steal and should not make a metal detector go off. I however have never been in this situation so I am not 100% sure

Answer

You’re good. ☺️

Answer

I go through metal detectors all the time at the court house and my nipples never go off.

Answer

My mother works in security at the airport in my town and look they shouldn’t go off, if it’s titanium it’s less likely to go off than steel on a hand held wand but just being scanned no worries at all, she tells me how many people ask her if their piercings set off the alarm and most the times it’s from a bracelet or a belt they didn’t take off 😂😂😂

Answer

They won’t set off the big machine that you stand in but they could set off the handheld wand if you get chosen as a random search.

Answer

I have mine done and they don't set off the detectors..

Answer

I've never had my piercings set off a metal detector. 
If you're really concerned you can buy plastic spacer to temporarily put in them and put your jewelry in your bag.
