3. Healing

Another one of the essential things to consider before getting your nipples pierced. Once you get your nipples pierced, the complete healing takes 8-12 months. Active individuals may need longer to heal. Larger breasts also experience a longer healing period.

When months pass without the nipple piercing healing properly, you may be experiencing jewelry rejection or an allergy to the jewelry material. You may have also aggravated the healing process somehow or be prone to infection. If this is the case, be sure to see your doctor.
