Nipple piercings are a form of body modification where a small hole is created in the nipple to insert jewelry, such as rings or barbells. This type of piercing can be done on one or both nipples and is popular among individuals seeking to express their personal style or enhance their body aesthetics. The procedure typically involves a professional piercer using a sterilized needle to ensure safety and minimize the risk of infection. Aftercare is essential for healing, which may take several weeks to months, and involves keeping the area clean and avoiding irritation from clothing or activities.
