Getting a nipple piercing is tricky, you could have a rejection. A rejection is when your body literally rejects the piercing, even to the point of pushing it out of your breasts. Your body usually rejects piercings due to improper piercing techniques, angles, and jewelry quality, so it’s critical to see someone who knows what they are doing. Nipple piercing infections are pretty rare these days due to the sterile environments and techniques used by qualified piercers but you could still catch an infection and lose your nipples so maybe don’t.
Before you get your nipple pierced, think about the procedure from a health angle. Skin serves a vital purpose: It’s a barrier protecting your body from the bacteria. Having your nipple pierced literally puts a hole in that protection. Then there’s the potential for scarring. Also, some people scar more than others. If you have keloids (raised scars) from acne, cuts, or other wounds, you’re at a higher risk of one forming at the piercing site.
If you feel comfortable moving forward with a piercing, the next question is: Should you pierce one or both nipples? Most people get both pierced at the same time, but it’s your choice. You should get what you are comfortable with, not what people tell you to get.
