I have not had anything pierced as of yet because I AM concerned about the sweat factor..due to the fact that I am a personal trainer and spend most of my days in the gym(i do cardio with the majority of my clients so I tend to stay extremely sweaty for several hrs out of the day)anyway.I was considering having my nipples pierced but because of the location and the concern of sweaty clothing laying against my skin, I have been too chicken to have it done yet..was just wondering if anyone here had any experience with this type of thing and if so any suggestions.

If you get your nipple peiced my suggestion is to have it changed to a barbell from a hoop, asap after the peircing (usually about 2 weeks) It will not irritate you at all, or interfere with your work outs, just make sure to continuosly clean with antibacterial soap ESPECIALLY after excersing. The sweaty clothing against your skin should not be a concern unless your peircing becomes irritated. Good luck! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ok here goes, I always wanted to ask this question. But to scared or to shy to ask. I see lots of girls with nipple peircings in the gym change room. I hear that it gives you some kind of sensation (sexual). Because why bother nobody see's it but yourself, unless you walk around topless all the time. lol Just curious, no offence

Yeah my navel piercing is a always a ring when I work out. It moves a lot better with me than when I have any other jewelry in there.

I have my nips pierced and have not had any real trouble with them. But, they are still kinda new and sometime they get irritated when I do preacher curls on they bench. It's just because of how they hit on the bench. Just keep them clean and they'll be fine.

I don't know from personal experience regarding the nipples. But, I have two female friends with nipples done and a handful of guys friends with it done.
The females like it because it adds more sensation. If you want more sensation I suggest a vertical hood piercing. If you are already sensitive then go for a horizontal hood piercing. I personally would not choose to get nipples done. I don't like the look and I think it would be irritating with all the running I do. It would just NEVER heal.

And as far as why bother: Well I almost never have my shirt off or a midriff shirt on so noone really sees my navel piercing. During track in hot hot weather I do run and throw in a sports bra, but it's a closed practice. So noone really sees but my coach and teammates.

I'm a conservative girl, my piercings are for me to enjoy. I keep them covered. I have one earring in each ear and I never got a tongue ring. Like my navel ring I love trading out the jewelry in there to match my clothes or my bikini. It's for me to enjoy. It's a signature touch <shrug> Just another accesory I suppose.

My navel ring never ever gives me problems. My tattoos get itchy at times, cuz of the sweat and clothes rubbing against them, especially on my ribcage ones. I had my nipples pierced 3x each...My bra kept rubbing against them and wouldn't let them heal, they kept getting infected so I took it out, I didn't wanna go braless. They didn't give me any pleasure. Hood piercing didn't do anything for me(pleasure wise), but it did heal in 4 days. I took that out too.

I just have my navel pierced now, and my ears. I had tongue, nose and lip done too... Took them out. Epsom salt is really great to help, I used it during the healing process of my navel ring. But never ever use peroxide or rubbing alcohol on a piercing, it just dries it out too much and causes a breeding ground for infection.

Did you have a vertical or a horizontal hood piercing done? [img]/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] That may be the difference with you. I've considered taking mine out but then I realized I'd miss it.

[Relinquished]

You won't miss it! It's definately better without [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I had vertical done.
