NIpple!!

<<<<<<<
done yesterday @ new tribe, with Natalie hanging over me like the photographer she is.

It was very painless, until about 30 minutes afterwards...and pretty good the rest of the time!
Im happy

Phew!

When I first saw this thread I thought you tried to wax it and tore the damn thing off...

Posted by DigitalMP on Nov-11-2003 02:29:

haha cool. i got mine done like a year and a half ago. get the other one done before you procrastinate and never get it done.

and a hint...put a band-aid over it when you're sleeping, working on a car, playing sports, anything like that, until it heals. it won't move that way. just don't tell anyone

and one more thing...don't change it for 9 months. anyone that contradicts this either has enlarged nipples due to scar tissue, or got very lucky. if you'd like explanation, i'll post the reasoning to convince you.

I was worried about sleep last night, but it was fine. And since I dont do anything but read texts, write papers and walk to class the band aid is useless (until Friday @ system..I dont trust ppl to not bump into me)

Posted by j_spot on Nov-11-2003 05:03:

I just want to get rid of this boring ring and get a nice horseshoe thingy in...but I know I need to wait for that.
it feels good.
time for night 2

Posted by DigitalMP on Nov-11-2003 05:17:

the pain...feels good

hah i remember i met this girl (well...woman, but i'm already saying too much as it is) 4 days after i got them pierced, and she played fucking trapeze artist from the rings. god that hurt ()

i got horseshoes with points on the end. very cool.

but...there's nothing like a *girl* who just has the short barbells where you can just see the balls on each side. raowr. that's what i got in my navel...nothing that sticks out for me. i mean, ummm...yeah.

yes. she says heal fast so I can play

apparently it takes 7 weeks to heal, but I go home in 5(from when I got it done)
how long should I wait until other ppl can touch it?

j, this should answer your last question, as well as give you the reasoning for not changing it.

when the piercer initially drove in that tiny spike, he made a weak canal through the nipple. so weak that if he took it out, it wouldn't have taken long for it to grow back together with a bit of scar tissue.

for the next few months, you're best to work it back and forth through what will eventually be a strong 'canal' with anti-bacterial soap, about 1.5 x/day. i.e. once a day is fine, but if you get it dirty (anything foreign, including hands not freshly cleaned) clean it twice...the shower is best, along with some sort of disinfectant...i'm not sure if you have the iodine-based brown-colored Betadine in CA, but i've used about 1/4 of my 6oz. bottle in 5 years, for both my navel and nipples. Use the Betadine in the shower just as you do the soap...a couple drops, and work it back and forth, then rinse it clean.

If you use the anti-bacterial soap too much, you'll dry out the skin, and it will get somewhat crusty around the edges. don't worry, just easy up on the frequency of which you wash it. the only issue with the betadine it that some people develop chemical reactions/minor burns, though the cases are very infrequent and you'll notice right away. if it becomes infected it WILL hurt, and WILL get very crusty...just up the frequency of applications of the betadine, and it will diminish. don't mistake any sort of pain for infection...if it's getting hit or yanked on over a few hours or days, expect some pain.

the above is a good reason to keep hands and another person's bodily fluids off of it...you're almost asking for infection. i'd wait a few months, though i didn't.

so, over the next 9 months, working the jewelry back and forth will develop the scar tissue evenly around the borders of the canal, making it a solid passage way - like any other piercing - that you can remove, and replace, and it will go in one end easily, and come right out the other end without fail.

however, if it's played with or pulled on, the weak walls of that canal are stressed, and they can (and will...if it's only been a month or two) break. this adds to the scar tissue, and will enlarge the nipple due to that additional tissue inside the nipple.

changing the jewelry is even worse. the walls of the canal that are working to solidify themselves around the jewelry no longer have a guide, and are like jelly with a thin membrane inside the nipple. when you reinsert the jewelry, you'll get in the hole, probably break the membrane (more scar tissue), then break it again to find the exit hole (even more scar tissue), resulting in enlarged nipples, all because people can't wait to play wtih them, or customize the jewelry.

4 months of waiting to play with them, and 9 months of waiting to change them is well worth the cosmetics of a lifetime, since you don't know when you'll stop wearing them at this point.

w00t, good stuff, Jason!

I'm still trying to think of what to pierce for my birthday this year.

Posted by j_spot on Nov-18-2003 00:16:

as of today, it moves freely
ie I dont have to soak it or get it wet before it can be moved

I think thats a good thing
also, the tenderness has gone down alot. ALOT.
I had been completly babying it all week, but this weekend I wore my heavy hoodie, and it was kind of rough on the piercing. But now it feels good.

if you are thinking about getting your nipples done, I for one will reccomend it! LOVE IT!

I just teed to tone up and get some colour on my pasty assed body!
