Yay.
I've been wanting to get my nipples pierced forever and since my nipples are all mine now, I got it done.
And guess what? It didn't hurt. At all. Weird.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

WOW!! That is awesome. You GO GIRL!!
When I first saw the title I thought you got your girls' ears pierced.
Yikes...totally got that wrong!!! LOL
yeOWCH.
But what a wonderful reclaiming of your body Nancy -- it is truly a work of art -- I've seen the pictures :)
You lucky girl -- I'm so jealous I can't see straight since my body feels like it will never be reclaimed -- ah, life, eh?
XO
Love,
Pam
I had mine pierced about 7 years ago. I kept them in for 3 years but took them out to grow over when we started trying to get pregnant. They didn't grow over completely though, and now that I am finally breastfeeding, milk actually comes out one of the holes on the side of my left nipple.
Not that this is a concern to you, but I find it very interesting.
I loved having them pierced though.
B.R.A.V.E.
You rock.
Youch! After having one of my nipples nearly fall off during breastfeeding, I can safely say I will never have the inclination t put anything near the girls...but...you are a brave, brave soul!
you're such a cool mom... i have to admit, i'm a little jealous! ;) way to reclaim the boobies!!!
Ouch! Such a brave woman!
Yay for doing what you want!
Awesome! I don't have the guts to do that but you are my hero!
When I saw your subject I thought you meant you got your girls' ears pierced. Not quite! :-) You sure keep me on my toes. Very cool.
OUCH!
You are awesome. I heart you.
Good for you! I could never do that. I don't know that I'd even do my ears if my mom didn't get them done when I was 9 months old.
GO Nancy! Haha. I'd be too afraid it would hurt.
Aiieee!! How could it not hurt?!?!
Yeah, I think it took me a year to regain feeling in my girls...good time to get them pierced.
Another one who thought Allie and Ella got pierced...
Wow. You always come up with something new to do! Congrats on your pierced boobies! I'm just trying to figure out how to keep mine from dragging the ground. :)
You are a fucking legend. Realz.
I had mine done 2 years ago... I love them. There is so much jewelry out there for the nips now.
Enjoy them

Love it! I did that about 11 years ago and left them in for a couple years. My body started to reject one of them and it was slowing pushing it closer to the surface, so I took them out. The first thing my mom said when I showed her was, "You'll drown your babies!" But it didn't affect my nursing, years later.
And someone mentioned them dragging - my grandma and a friend of hers always used to tease me they were going to get theirs done and run a necklace through the hoops to keep their girls up!
i've always wanted to get mine done!! When i was getting my tat last week i was talking about it and how much it must hurt. Good to know it doesn't.... ;)
Enjoy! I would never have the courage to do that. Unless I was very, very drunk!
Okay, I'm cracking the fuck up right now!!! When I saw this on Facebook earlier I thought it said, "I'm taking the girls to get their ears pierced" (Meaning your cute little daughters!)
I almost left you a comment saying, "Oh, I can't wait to see pictures" Good, I would have died had I actually left that comment. HAHAHAH
You are one brave chick, that's all I have to say!!
No ways! For real? You are HARDCORE Nancy, HARDCORE!!

I can't believe you say it didn't hurt! Maybe they are just tough from nursing. :) You go, girl!
I had mine done when I was 22. I was schnockered up on Don'Key Margaritas to help the pain. But holymotherofGod did it still hurt? You must have the pain threshold of a football team. Took them out when I "matured" at 26.
Also milk comes out of one of the old (thought were grown over) holes!
You rock!!
I will take your word for it! LOL It sounds like it would be painful to me! Maybe BF'ing helps "desensitize" them a bit? I'm surprised it didn't hurt at ALL!
