Pierced nipples

[BrightFyrefly]

I'm thinking about getting my nipples pierced and am doing some research. Do you have pierced nipples? How long have you had them? How long did it take to heal? Would you do it all over again if given the chance? Did it hurt worse or less than you had expected? What should I beware of when looking for a piercer?

Thanks!

I have had pierced nipples for over a year, and here is all the information I have to give.
1) It took about 6 weeks to heal enough that they could be played with or sucked on, but that changes depending on how sensitive you are and if you take care of them.
2)I would do it all over again. Apparently, in speaking with my piercer, one of two things happens. Either you get less sensitive or more sensitive. I got more, so it was a good thing for me.
3)It hurt a lot less than I would have guessed for being such a sensitive area. It actually hurt less than donating blood.
4) As far a piercers go, I actually had a friend who was an experienced piercer do mine.
