A nipple piercing is a piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. It is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. A nipple piercing typically takes 3-6 months to fully heal. Some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to fully heal. It's recommended that if stretching a nipple piercing, the piercee waits at least the healing time of their piercings between stretches.
The nipple is fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection. However, if the jewelry gauge is too thin or the piercing isn't deep enough to begin with, there is a risk of rejection. Metal allergies could cause it to reject. Problems with infections and/or too much tugging and pulling on it could also cause it to reject.
Several complications have been noted involving breastfeeding with a piercing present, so it is recommended to remove nipple jewelry before nursing. Several complications resulting from nursing with nipple jewelry inserted can include poor latch, slurping, gagging, and milk leaking from the baby's mouth. It can also be a potential choking hazard for the baby. As the baby sucks, the ends on a barbell (if worn) may come loose and could possibly lodge in the baby's throat (a captive bead ring, properly inserted, would lessen the risk of anything becoming loose, falling out, and lodging in the throat). The baby's gums and tongue as well as the soft and hard palate could be injured by the jewelry.

Cons: the healing process sucks. I have six piercings and these where by far the worst to clean. Probably one of the most painful piercings, too. To me, anyway. They never really get caught on my clothes or anything like people always ask. During the healing process, a bra is your best friend, lol. Pros: my nipples have been a lot more sensitive. That's probably about it, other than them being cute. But that's just a personal opinion!

Pros: There really aren't any. Cons: It hurts like heck and you can ruin your mammory glands from the scaring. You must take them out if you ever breast feed, and you may have problems if there is scaring. The piercing holes close up fairly rapidly when you remove them.

Never heard of anyone being thought less of, denied a job or promotion, or getting reconstructive surgery after an infection for NOT having a piercing.

Mine are pierced. I've had them for about 3 years. Slow to heal but well worth it. Easily hidden by clothes.
