I have been considering getting my nipples pierced on and off now for years. I had one question though- for anyone that has them or knows about them- is it common for your nipple to remain hard after the piercing? I've never seen a picture of a nipple piercing where the nipples were not erect. Sorry if this is a foolish question. I personally love my nipples to be erect, so if piercings help that it would be a big plus.

Also- I'd love to hear any experiences from people that have them (mainly females), negative or positive! It would really help in making my decision :-P

Thanks!
