15. Pain Management

To manage pain during a nipple piercing, there are a few things to consider. One option is to take a pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, before the procedure. This can help reduce any discomfort and make the process more tolerable.

Another option is to consider topical numbing agents, such as lidocaine cream. This type of cream can be applied to the nipple area before the piercing to help reduce the pain. It’s important to discuss the use of topical numbing agents with a professional piercer to ensure they are safe and effective.

In short, getting your nipples pierced is your choice. Like any piercing or tattoo, a nipple piercing does take time to heal. Keep in mind your lifestyle, job, and past medical conditions that may affect the healing process.

Otherwise, getting a nipple pierced is a safe and common practice. And if you find you do not like your nipples pierced, these areas close up within 24 hours once the piercing has been removed.
