Introduction to nipple piercing

History:

Nipple piercing, also known as nipple piercing, has enjoyed growing popularity since the 1990s and has established itself as a multifaceted trend in the field of body modifications. Originally popular in the alternative scene, it now appeals to people of all styles.

Placement:

Nipple piercings can be pierced horizontally or vertically. Horizontal nipple piercings are more common. Nipple piercings are also possible with inverted nipples.

Jewelry:

To begin with, a barbell is inserted into the freshly pierced piercing. After healing, the barbell can also be exchanged for other pieces of jewelry. We recommend a straight bar, not a curved bar.

• Curved barbells: Curved bars with balls on both sides, with or without pendants and decorations.
• CBRs (Captive Bead Rings) / BCRs: Rings with a ball or plate that is inserted into the ring.
• CBBs (Circular Barbells): Horseshoe-shaped rings in various sizes and designs, with balls or points.
• Barbells: Straight bars, external and internal with various attachments and balls.
• Clicker: There are many beautiful clicker rings with decorations such as cubic zirconia, patterns, snakes, etc.

Healing time:

The healing time of a nipple piercing varies from person to person, but is usually between 4 and 6 months. The fatty tissue in the nipple heals more slowly than the skin in other areas of the body. It is therefore important to take care of it carefully during the healing phase. We recommend thatyou follow the care instructions carefully.

Dangers and complications:

As with any piercing, there are certain risks associated with nipple piercings, such as infections, allergic reactions, inflammation, scarring and milk flow problems. To minimize these risks, it is essential to be pierced by a professional piercer and to use high-quality jewelry.

Recommendation for care:

• Disinfect the piercing 3-5 times a day with a suitable piercing spray. We recommend the use of our Stechwerk Care. We have achieved the best results with this piercing spray over the years.
• Avoid touching or pulling on the piercing. Please do not use Q-tips (cotton buds) for cleaning and use a clean handkerchief for crusts.
• Cover the nipple piercing with a plaster when exercising or in case of friction.
