About this deal
Just remember that a piercing can take many months to fully heal — and some piercers don’t consider them fully healed for a year or more.
There are also references to a fashion for nipple piercing among society women during the Victorian period around 1890. The suggested risks include pain while breastfeeding, reduced or diverted milk flow, and the infection of blocked lactiferous ducts. These frequent disturbances prolong the healing time because the wound does not get the peace it needs. Thick, hard buildup of scar tissue can form around the piercing, including keloid scars that can grow much larger than the pierced area. Metal allergies, infections, or excessive pulling/tugging can also cause the piercing to be rejected.Bacteria can build up around the pierced area and infect the tissue, causing pain, swelling, and pus.
Inverted and flat nipples are really common, and piercing them pushes the tissue up a little so they look more pronounced," Thompson explains. Most of the time, the scarring is hardly noticeable, says Thompson, but if you keep your jewelry in for decades versus a couple of years, you'll probably have that fistula and hole forever.If you're stressed out, sleep-deprived, or a few days' deep into a bender, you'll likely feel more pain since your body is in a compromised state.
