Does a nipple piercing hurt?
Pain is relative and depends from person to person yet we are going to make no bones about it; a nipple piercing is the most painful piercing to post. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it for that reason. Our professionals will ensure the most pleasant experience possible. At Inksane you are in good hands.
How is a nipple piercing set?
We start by marking the breasts to make sure everything is straight. Then we lay the client on his back. The nipples are pierced one at a time with a sterile piercing needle. The piercing can be pierced in any direction. It can be either horizontal or vertical. In general, a nipple piercing is always pierced horizontally.
How long until my nipple piercing is healed?
The healing process may up to a year last. It is not that it will hurt for a year. However, it can range from super-sensitive to no feeling in the nipple. So you should definitely not panic when this occurs because at this time it is normal! After the piercing we will give you a verbal and written explanation about the aftercare treatment. Take a look at our website What follow-up care is needed.
Nipple piercing to grow closed
Why such a long healing process? When piercing the nipple, the nerve endings are separated and they have to find each other again around the jewel.
How long should I wait to swim after healing my nipple piercing?
Swimming and/or taking a bath is strongly discouraged after a nipple piercing, because chlorine and stagnant water are harmful to a fresh wound. Taking a shower is definitely allowed because this is running water. After a six weeks you may return to swimming and/or taking a bath.
Is my nipple piercing inflamed?
An inflammation comes rarely for with a nipple piercing but be careful with this anyway.
What are the symptoms of nipple piercing inflammation?
You can recognize an inflamed nipple piercing by the symptoms below:
- Green pus comes out of the nipple

- Redness develops around the nipples
- A distinct swelling can be seen and felt
If you experience these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Pus is coming out of my nipple piercing
You may notice a white or translucent discharge in the first few days after piercing. Don't worry, that's a normal reaction! A green discharge, on the other hand, is not good (pus). White flakes may also appear around the piercing. This too is a normal reaction. It comes from the milk glands in the nipples and can last a lifetime.
From what age can I have a nipple piercing?
In Belgium, there is no age limit for piercing or tattoos. Minors may get a piercing/tattoo with the permission of their parents or guardian. Many shops advise against this because it can lead to conflicts. Because there is no formal age limit used by the government, shops decide to set the minimum age at 16 or 18 themselves. We do this as well. At Inksane no nipple piercing is done under the age of 18. Not even with parental consent. So the minimum age with us is 18 years old.

Does putting a nipple piercing on a woman hurt a lot? I don't really know what to expect ... it's quite a threshold.
I myself had my nipple piercings pierced a month ago (1 by Anke and the other by her apprentice, Jelle) in Roeselare.
You have to know somewhere your own pain tolerance and nevertheless know that, specifically for nipple piercings, this can still vary from person to person. I myself have never suffered from pain regarding tattoos and all other piercings that I have. Even e.g. at the dentist, I can handle the pain very easily.
Now, for the nipple piercings, this was a different story. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, by no means! I just want to explain that you can't know unless you let go of the fear and just go for it. ;)
Now yes, the first day and the moment itself was honestly admittedly really not pleasant. However, because I wasn't stressing about the pain beforehand (because I was convinced it would be nothing), it was easier for me to deal with it and not focus on it. I had them anyway, I've had to go through the pain anyway, might as well just push through until the pain is gone and then enjoy something I've wanted for so long. ;)
Also just know (whoever is reading this), if you have low tolerance for pain it may as well be that they are nevertheless not as bad as you think/expect. Nipple piercings are hard to estimate in terms of pain, but on the other hand, it is somewhere positive since you just have to go for it because otherwise you don't know.
I recommend just doing it once! Afterwards, you will sit with a "fulfillment" feeling and be proud of yourself for having done it. I had that anyway. :)
Furthermore, in terms of the healing, you also have to be mentally prepared that the gene are easy but they can be forgiving if you just take care of how to do it. Everything is in your own hands!
In terms of healing time it can take from 1 to 2 years, it all depends on many factors (how fast your body heals wounds in general, how consistent you are with aftercare, etc...). That sounds scary and long, but after a month or two you notice pretty much nothing because the pain should be pretty much completely gone. After 3 weeks I could move mine back and forth without pain! It is in waves though, you may feel more pain for few days back and it goes away again completely, same about swelling. But all that is much better once you are working on it and I can promise you that!
grts, Val ;)
