For a long time now I have wanted to get my first tattoo. I think in a short time (maybe in a couple weeks) I will go down to the studio and get it done. I am very excited about this and can’t wait. However, I have recently started liking nipple piercings and I would like to get one of those as well. My question is: can I get both at the same time? I’ll probably get my tattoo first if I have to wait, but should I wait a certain amount of time between the two? Thanks!
I don’t think getting them both at the same time will tax your immune system enough to be any concern. Go ahead and get them both and just make sure your dietary needs are met and you’ll likely be as right as rain! (Leafy green veggies, protein and vitamins before your appointment, the right amount of sleep… take care of yourself and your mods will thank you!)

i got one nipple pierced two weeks before i had my first tattoo done, and the other pierced one week after, and they were both perfectly un-problematic.
unless your tat involves you sitting with your chest on the bench like mine, owch, but still no problems
good luck!

Rachel on January 20th, 2009 at 2:28 amI’m sure anyone on this forum will tell you when they get sick or start to get sick one of the first things that acts up are my mods. Take care of yourself and healing will be easier.
The only problem this may give you would be increased healing time to your piercings, and maybe your tattoo. I sat for 4 and a half hours working on my sleeve one day and the next day I got my labret done and the next day I got both cheeks done. My tattoo healed normally, like my others and my piercings have healed perfectly even for the spots.
I know by now you’ve probably done both, but I hope other people will read this to find a good answer.
