Well, when it comes to style, no trend can be called right or wrong, because it is a matter of personal choice. Here also we are telling you about the harm caused by nipple piercing as well as the precautions to be taken to avoid them. So that this new trend of piercing does not become a problem for anyone.
The trend of nipple piercing is risky
Compared to piercings on external or normal parts of the body, nipple piercing is a riskier process in itself. Because very sensitive organs like breasts and nipples are affected by it. In this, the dense tissues of the nipple are pricked, which are directly connected to the duct system of the breast i.e. the inner tubes. In such a situation, even a little carelessness can prove costly, for example, if a woman is breastfeeding, it can cause many problems. Nipple piercing can reduce milk supply, apart from this, nipple piercing jewellery can also be dangerous for the baby during breastfeeding.
Keep these things in mind while nipple piercing
Even under normal circumstances, nipple piercing can be dangerous for women and girls due to infection, because any kind of infection in this area has the risk of spreading rapidly. Therefore, some precautions must be kept in mind before getting this type of piercing done.
Get this piercing done only by a trained person
First of all, you have to understand that this is not an art or makeup tool, so instead of getting it done in a parlour or any shop, get it done by a professional person only. Get complete information about the service of the institution where you are thinking of getting a piercing done, customer reviews will be helpful for you in this. Start the process of piercing only when you are sure that the institution provides quality service.
Choose jewellery carefully
Choose jewellery for piercing very carefully, especially paying attention to its metal. Some metals can be extremely allergic to the skin, while any kind of metal allergy in sensitive areas like nipples can be quite dangerous. For this, only yellow or rose gold, surgical steel or titanium jewellery is safe, which reduces the risk of skin or any other kind of allergy.
Piercing can cause severe pain
The entire piercing process takes 15 to 20 minutes, with jewellery placement taking just a few seconds. But these few seconds can be painful and you have to be mentally prepared for this. It would be better if you take a female friend or family member along with you at the time of piercing so that she can support you in any unpleasant situation.
Do proper maintenance after piercing
You have already understood how nipple piercing is different from normal piercing. In such a situation, you also need to understand that it requires special maintenance to avoid any kind of damage. For example, after nipple piercing, you will have to take care while choosing a bra and clothes for yourself. Too tight clothes can put pressure on the nipple piercing, which can cause some kind of problem. Along with this, avoid using soap or lotion containing any kind of harsh chemicals in this area while bathing.
It is important to identify the symptoms of infection
To prevent infection caused by nipple piercing, it is important to know its symptoms. So let us tell you that if there is any kind of discharge from the nipple after piercing, then do not take it lightly. Especially if this discharge is yellow or green, then contact a dermatologist immediately. In case of infection, you should also consult a gynaecologist.
Be alert during breastfeeding
Women who have nipple piercings need to take special caution during breastfeeding. For example, you should remove your jewellery while breastfeeding so that it can prevent harm to the baby. There is a risk of suffocation if such jewellery comes into the child's mouth. Therefore, if you remove the jewellery, the risk will be eliminated.
Apart from this, you should take full care of proper cleanliness after piercing. For example, do not touch the piercing area and jewellery again and again, as this can cause the risk of bacterial infection. Use a pure saline solution to clean this area, which is considered completely safe. If you can take such precautions then you can try the trend of nipple piercing.
