Piercing inverted nipples requires a skilled piercer and a specific approach to ensure success. Here's how it's typically done:
-
Consultation and Assessment: A reputable piercer will first assess the degree of inversion and determine if piercing is possible. Not all inverted nipples are suitable for piercing.
-
Preparation:
- Inform your piercer beforehand that you have inverted nipples.
- The piercer may lower the room temperature to help the nipples protrude. Cold can cause the nipple to erect slightly.
-
Nipple Extension Techniques: The piercer will use techniques to draw the nipple out sufficiently for piercing. This is crucial.
- Nipple Clamps: Piercers often use nipple clamps to gently pull the nipple outwards, creating enough tissue to pierce safely. These clamps provide a temporary, stable hold.
-
Marking and Piercing: Once the nipple is extended, the piercer will mark the entry and exit points for the piercing. They will then use a sterilized needle to create the piercing.
-
Jewelry Insertion: Appropriate jewelry, typically a barbell, is immediately inserted into the new piercing. The length of the barbell is crucial to accommodate swelling.
-
Aftercare: Strict aftercare is essential to prevent infection and promote healing. This includes regular cleaning with saline solution.
Important Considerations:
- Professional Piercer: Choosing an experienced piercer who has worked with inverted nipples is paramount. Their expertise will significantly impact the success and safety of the procedure.
- Realistic Expectations: Be aware that not all inverted nipples can be successfully pierced. The degree of inversion and the amount of available tissue are key factors.
- Potential Risks: As with any piercing, there are risks of infection, rejection, and migration. Proper aftercare and a skilled piercer can minimize these risks.
