Nipple piercings also take a long time to fully heal. The average piercing takes about 9 to 12 months to heal.
Regarding this, do nipple piercings heal when you take them out?
Will the hole close if you remove the jewelry down the road? Most of the time, even if the nipple is healed and you‘ve had the piercing for years, the hole will close up — fast. There are exceptions, of course, and some holes stay open for years without jewelry, but it’s pretty uncommon.
Moreover, should I twist my nipple piercing?
When healing a nipple piercing you don’t want to touch the jewelry at any point or let anyone else touch the piercing. You don’t need to rotate or spin the barbell for any reason. If you have to touch the piercing for any reason make sure you are washing your hands with antibacterial hand soap beforehand.
Do nipple piercings leave bad scars?
Scarring is another common side effect caused by nipple piercings. Certain scar tissues, such as keloid scars, create a growth of permanent scar tissue at the site of the piercing. These scars can only be removed surgically.
Can I breastfeed with nipple piercings?
You should be okay to breastfeed because nipple piercings typically don’t damage milk production. Breast milk is produced in your mammary glands, which are located in the breast tissue of female mammals, behind the nipple. After giving birth, these glands produce milk whether or not you have a piercing.
