“And then it literally never healed. The post-traumatic nipple injury had a huge impact on my relationship with my husband. We got married in 2000, and I got the piercings in 2001, so for the first few years of our marriage, it was like, No, nope, that area is off-limits. They were always sore. I think it’s because I have big boobs, and they’re always changing size and swelling. I feel like the girls with tiny boobs and piercings have it easy. At one point one of them was rejecting, so I eventually took them both out. They looked good, but it wasn’t worth the hassle. Now they’re healed, and you can kind of see little scars if you really look. All that said, the people I know who had their genitals pierced said it healed in five seconds, and it wasn’t bad at all. Go figure.”
The Bad: The worst part of the piercings is that they hurt like hell when you get pierced. One girl described how her boobs felt after the piercing as having a similar soreness to mothers that are lactating (important to note that this was an assumption). Your boobs will hurt for a while after first getting them done… not just the first day. The Center for Young Women’s Health says that the nipple takes between three to six months to heal. Another consideration is that as hot as having piercings should be in theory, sometimes your partner has no idea what to actually do with them. One bite too hard or one twist too many can really bring down the mood, especially if you are howling in pain (not the good kind).
