How to Heal Nipple Piercings Nipple Piercing Aftercare Instructions

[@mwhalen93]

Glad I found this. My piercer told me none of this. Said to get saline spray and spray it 2x a day and not to let anyone suck on them for 3 weeks That’s it.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

The spray can work as long as it's sterile saline spray with no additives. However, having oral contact after only 3 weeks is completely asking for infection. I'm glad you found it helpful and you deserve a piercer that takes the time to explain how to take care if your piercings.

[@naomimarcella2135]

me too! just got mine done and didn’t really believe her that’s all i had to do my belly button pierced told me to do salt soaks and stuff like that

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

You are welcome. If you watch my body piercing Basics series, I've been updating my aftercare instruction.

[@franchescavandyk8149]

I did my own nipple and I clean twice a day using unscented mild softsoap and warm water with a coffee cup (I use Listerine to sterilize my cup prior to use for 5-10min) . I don't touch it at all except to clean it. As it takes 6-12 months for it to heal from what multiple piercers have told me.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

This is an older video. I no longer suggest soap unless the area has been contaminated and now suggest using sterile saline spray like neilmed piercing aftercare or wound wash spray twice daily.

[@shoutkimm]

The best aftercare video on KZbin for nips! Thanks man!!!

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

You're welcome. One slight change I've been implementing, is only cleaning with the soap once daily. A second time only if you feel that the may have been contaminated.

Came here to prepare for my upcoming nipple piercings and left knowing why my earlobe piercing hasn't fully healed after a year. I've been doing everything wrong -twisting, too much handling, just saline spraying it twice a day for a month and that's it... Some piercers don't really take time to fully explain aftercare. Thanks for this!!!

Body Piercing & Tattooing just got them done, 🤗 it was a bit painful the second more especially since it was done to high, she had to do it again. 😖 my question is would the healing process for that one be different.. also I feel like it’s still a bit to high, should I go back and remove it and get it redone again? I got to them in titanium . Just because I have sensitive skin- when I wear cheap earrings or necklace my ears or neck get very itch and red..

I have found that, for me, lightly padded bras are essential!! I'm quite busty and the "girls" tend to bump into everything and everyone. The padding on the bra has been a life saver. Nothing too aggressive, I'm not trying to up a cup size. But it's enough to shield me from the outside world. I'm about 1 month into my healing and it has been a breeze!

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Thank you for sharing your hint. I have had clients that have suggested padded bras in the past. Not only to add some cushioning but also to make the piercing less noticeable.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Glad you found the video helpful. Do you sleep on your left? One side will always heal faster than the other but it often it's the side you sleep on because they get more contact.

[@kitten8413]

I purchased the recovery after care kit from the shop but they didn't explain any aftercare whatsoever. It's just 2 bottles;One is a aftercare soap the other a saline spray. Does the saline spray replace the need for soaks?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

You can do soaks with the saline spray but the most common method is to spray the saline on to the piercing. Let it stay in contact until the discharge softens. Then wipe it clean with a clean paper towel or sterile gauze sponge. Do that twice daily. The soap only needs to be used if the are is contaminated.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

The discharge is a normal part of any healing piercing.it discharges waste and by products from new cell production while helping to seal off the piercing and fight off invading pathogens. Everyone seems to think that it is bad and needs to be removed. Just like the dried blood that can form around the holes of a new piercing. Using a saline solution, compress or soak and them rinsing under running water is all you need to do to remove discharge. Since you are not rotating or moving the jewelry, the discharge is not going to damage or cause issues.

They can discharge off and on for the whole healing period. Meaning 6-12 months or more.

@@BodyPiercingTattooing today is day 5 of getting them repierced the discomfort has decreased significantly, still no discharge from my left piercing. Continuing my salt soaks and trying to handle them as little as possible

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Good to hear. I wouldn't worry if there isn't any discharge. Nipples tend to discharge off and on throughout the healing and not uncommon for period where there is no noticeable discharge.

Hi! I can't find sea salt around my area can i use kosher salt instead?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

You may want to try to locate sterile saline spray like neilmed wound wash spray or piercing aftercare spray. Usually you can find it in the first aid section.

[@jennymorningstar9323]

I've had mine done today, and I'm very happy with them, now I know the healing process takes quite a while, I do have a little question! My hobby is cosplay/costuming, and I do alot of events as disney princesses, and underneath alot of my dresses I wear a corset, now this corset will always be on its tightest to recreate the Disney waistelines. My first real event is next month around the 24th of February. Do you advice to ditch the corset completely or leave it less tight than normal? I don't mind looking for a different option since I want to avoid every chance of infection or rejection, but if there's no harm in using the corset less tight than normal that would certainly have my preference. Thank you in advance! This video already helped me with ways to keep it clean since my piercer didn't really inform me about that.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

It really depends on how much pressure there is against the piercings. I would suggest trying it on, if there is any discomfort, starting looking for alternatives.

Do u recommend it for guys

Hey, can you please do a video on the aftercare of a removed nipple piercing. I will remove mine once they heal sadly, it was nice while it lasted😔

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

As long as the piercings are healthy when you remove the jewelry, there really isn't anything that you need to do. If they were still healing, I would continue aftercare and monitoring them but if the piercing is healed nothing really needs to be done.

[@bridailey1091]

I got mine done in June is it to late to start the proper healing process and still have it heal properly

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

No it is not. Here is my most current aftercare instructions kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXLZnalmZrial7c

[@frogmum0562]

I had mine pierced 3 months ago. One is perfect and healing well, the other I think the bar is just a little too small which is causing indents. Currently unable to get to my piercer, would it be safe to switch to a longer bar myself at this point? I've ordered some internally threaded barbells, if I do attempt to switch one myself would I be better off ordering an insertion pin/taper to make the process easier? If so, what type would be best? Your videos are very informative and a huge help! Thanks.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

It would be best to have a threaded guide pin. That way you can thread it onto the current jewelry, push the jewelry out with the guide pin in the piercing thread the new jewelry on and push it into the piercing. This method ensures that the piercing has a placeholder and isn't empty. Happy to hear that you are finding the videos helpful and thank you for watching.

[@Star1121121]

Hey! Two things !! I personally got mine done about 2 days ago, the piercer was good but some tips weren't great, like wash 2/3 times a day but just spray it with saline solution, twist it a little, etc..other help tips were right though , healing being 6months to at worse 2 years. No swimming, unscented and avoid body wash, ya know. But I'm glad I found you! I knew a few things on that to do and not too but this video is very educational! Thank you. Also, 2nd thing, you said you'd post down below websites you trust to buy from, could you possibly link them again?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Just to let you know my aftercare instructions have updated since this video. I no longer suggest soap unless the area has been contaminated and have went to suggesting only using sterile saline spray like neilmed piercing aftercare or wound wash spray.

Six months or longer depending on how long they take to heal.

You're welcome. Yes, late summer or early fall is a good time of the year to get a piercing. Especially ones with longer healing periods.

[@shantemahoney6805]

Is there any specific type of clothing I should avoid after getting peirced ?

[@neokarabosekhaolelo1218]

When can I start swimming?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Once the piercings are completely healed. With nipple piercings they take on average 6-12 months. If you think the piercings is healed but not sure, see your piercer and have them decide for you.

[@brittanym8288]

Great advice !! I just got mine done a few days ago! Is it normal for the nipple to feel “dry” although they are not cracking ?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

What are you using for aftercare products? It is not really normal, especially if it's uncomfortable. One of the most common mistakes is over cleaning or not rinsing.

[@PEACEOUTO9]

My piercer told me to use bactine to clean my piercings is that okay ?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Your piercer has outdated information. Bactine is far too harsh to heal a piercing with. In fact, this is an older video and I no longer even suggest using soap unless the piercing has been contaminated. All you really need to use is sterile saline solution like NeilMed Wound Wash or Piercing Aftercare Spray.

[@toshrunner2946]

What has been the feedback for comfortable clothing after getting the nipples pierced? I am asking as a female, but I'm sure both men and women would appreciate your insight to this question. I've been looking into getting nipple piercings for more than 5 years now and I haven't found a clear answer about the clothing. Cotton-based clothes are usually recommended. I've heard sports bras being recommended and demonized for putting too much pressure on the piercings. In your experience, what is generally the best clothes to wear overall to help the piercings heal? Looser or tighter? Tshirts or bras? So many sincere thanks for your studios advice and help! You are all so great! Thank you for posting videos and replying to comments!

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Sorry for the late reply. Usually a soft breathable fabric is most comfortable. With bras it really depends, a majority of my clients have said sports bras or a tight tank top was best. However, everyone is shaped differently and it isn't a bad idea to experiment and find what feel and works best for you.

Hi! Recently discovered your videos! Very informative and you seem like a really nice dude! I also have my nipples pierced since august and since 2 months I have (re)discovered my love for kickboxing and now I am full on Kickboxing again. I love my piercings dearly, but also my Kickbokxing. How can pad my piercings so that I wont get stuck with my gloves ?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Low profile jewelry like barbells are your best option. I really don't know what is available as far as padding. I'm sure there is some kind of chest protector.

@@BodyPiercingTattooing thank you so much and I have another question I'm planning on getting my nipples pierced and I was talking to my cousin about it and she said she got hers done she didn't have any problems and about a year later she ended up with a bad fever so she went to the doctor and they told her that her body was rejecting the piercings she didn't have any pain discomfort or any sign of rejection in the area how is that possible? She did say the fever went away after she took the piercings out tho

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

My guess is that the doctor is completely uneducated on piercing. They just see them as a foreign object and decided it would the cause. If she was having a reaction to the jewelry or her body was rejecting the jewelry, not only would the fever shown up much earlier but there would have been signs of issues at the site if the piercings. My guess is the fever was completely unrelated and the doctor just doesn't like piercings or other forms of body modifications. If there was any medical connection they would be telling people to take their ear piercings out every time they got a fever.

[@tique_molaoa]

What is the estimated price of getting both nipples pierced?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

I charge between $110-150 depending on the jewelry. However it really depends on where you live, the experience level of the piercer and what jewelry they use.

[@peanutbuttah_]

I got mine done a week ago I love them the healing process is definitely a chore though 😂

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

I have updated my aftercare instructions to using neilmed sterile saline wound wash spray and removed the soap completely. You may find it much easier. What are doing for aftercare?

[@peanutbuttah_]

Body Piercing & Tattooing currently just the salt soaks twice a day and non scented body wash when I’m in the shower to clean the piercing or crusting

[@queridalinton8098]

Love your video! I just got my nipples pierced and one of them is fine and perfectly spaced with the bar but my other nipple seems to be tight fitting on the bar. Should I be concerned?!

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Only if it starts to exceed the length of the jewelry. Then you should see your piercer and have them change the jewelry for something longer.

[@queridalinton8098]

Body Piercing & Tattooing hello sorry in advance! So it’s been a little over two weeks and I’m still getting a little crust/pus should I be worried ? It doesn’t turn to touch

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

You shouldn't move the jewelry at all. The harden crust discharge is normal and will continue off and on throughout the healing. However puss is not normal. When in doubt see your piercer.

[@MiladyToxic]

Is all natural castor oil safe to use? I read that it's an antiseptic and I'd like to finish my cleaning routine of dial soap and saline solution with a moisturizer.

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

I wouldn't suggest any petroleum products 9n a piercing. If you notice that the area is drying out, make sure you are rinsing the area off after doing soaks and try reducing the amount of salt that you are adding. I would suggest also switching to satin or proven and cut back to cleaning once daily.

[@shinellereid4706]

Can u go to the beach after u do it

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

No swimming until the piercing is healed.

[@ebonirice43]

Question 1: When I get them done how long should I wait till I workout?? Question 2: Should I continue to wear bras the first couple days to weeks or go braless?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

I suggest wearing a bra with even support for the first two weeks to reduce movement. Exercise when it feels comfortable. Listen to your body if it hurts to do something, don't do it and move on to something that doesn't. The sensitivity to movement will usually fade after two weeks.

[@hiin6879]

just got my nipple piercing yesterday, if you're wondering. the pain is only 4/10 (honestly it doesn't hurt at all) the piercer told me to not do sports and avoid eating soy product food and seafood. avoid harsh soap too

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I no longer suggest soap unless the area has been contaminated. As far as the diet change did they tell you why? It sounds like eastern medicine beliefs. They claim that shellfish because they are bottom feeders, are full of impurities that will lead to infection. The truth is shellfish are a great source of low fat protein and has been know to reduce scarring. The soy thing is a belief that fermented soy will cause dark scabs and scarring. Completely untrue. www.shape.com.sg/food/truth-behind-avoiding-seafood-soy-sauce-after-surgery/ I'm unsure why these myths continue to be spread by professionals that don't research what they are suggesting. I found that page in less than ten seconds.

Great video man! Ive had my piercings for 6 months and i have an indent on one of the piercings. Does it eventually go away once its fully healed or am i doing something wrong?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

Not sure what the indent is. It could be the jewelry was too small for the swelling. Usually the indentation will go away with time.

[@lavondawilson8407]

I use golden dial soap...

As have millions of people. However, I no longer suggest it except those that are at a high risk to infection.

Body piercing and tattooing what getting a tounge ring?

[@darthardjeannea]

Using steri wash spray is the best for all of my piercing that and I only can use titanium during healing

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

This is an older video, I currently only suggest using soap if the area has been contaminated. A sterile saline spray like neilmed wound wash spray or piercing aftercare spray twice daily and proper cross contamination prevention should be enough to heal any piercing.

[@dude2787]

Okay its probably a stupid question but how long do you need to keep them in?

[@BodyPiercingTattooing]

As my father always said, "The only stupid question is one you don't ask." It is best to leave the original jewelry in until the piercing or piercings are healed. After healing the jewelry needs to stay in pretty much at all times for the first few years. However, I have had clients that have had the piercing for years, took it out for a few hours and had issues putting the jewelry back in. It is always best if you like the piercing to leave some jewelry in it.

[@alizeromero6832]

I just got mine done last night and was wondering when I can clean them? My piercer gave me no information on aftercare but good thing I did my research before getting them done. My friend told me she used iodized salt and water and they healed just fine. Any tips? Thanks!

This is an older video and I now suggest soak with neilmed sterile saline wound wash spray twice daily for ten minutes. No longer suggest soap unless you know you have contaminated the piercing area.
