I am 50 and in the 90s i had my left ear pierced and took it out some yrs later. I can still wear one if want.This yr i had my navel pierced and went back later for nipple piercing. I wanted both and had left one done 1st and few mins later the right one. Left one hurt but the right one was worse. When she put the clamp or whatevr on the nipple on right side did not even feel it Thought great i will not be able to feel it boy was i wrong. The needle went though the areola. Used rings and 14 gauge  and will stay that size. Nipples are bigger but still not sensitive like hoping for. The navel i have had some problems but still have. want to tone my waist up
