My wife has grown exteremly interested in Mody Modification in the last year or so. She has been talking about getting her nipples pierced for a while but is deathly afraid of going to a shop to get them done professionally. Its a shyness and trust issue. I support her wanting this and actually think we will both like the results. I a few piercings of my own, including nipples. She told me the other day the only way she will get them done is if I do them for her. I have all the supplies to pierce them at 12ga. are there any differences in healing proceedures for female vs male nips? anything i should be on the look out for? Her nipples are fairly large, so with a forceps and some surgi-lube, I think it should be pretty straight forward.

BTW, what happened to the main BME site? it hasn’t been updated for a few months?!?!

Thx!

While I’m not necessarily convinced you doing the piercings for your wife is necessarily the best option, from a purely technical point of view, it’s also not the worst thing in the world that could happen. Certainly, her comfort and mental well-being are a very important part of the procedure as well. So, if you are going to do the piercings, the most important thing is to make sure you keep the piercings in the the nipples-proper. You don’t want to do the piercings into the areola, as you run the risk of piercing through the various ducts that sit behind the nipple. Piercings through those ducts isn’t necessarily a guaranteed “bad thing”, but it definitely increases the chances for mastitis, a deep tissue infection that can be very painful and can sometimes require surgery to treat.

So, keep the piercings in the nipples themselves. Be clean. Use common sense.

Aftercare shouldn’t be any different for male nipples or female nipples, although your wife will likely have a longer healing time than you did…assuming everything healed in a normal amount of time for you.

Best of luck.
