I pierce mine every few months with diaper pins.

I pierced my nipples several years ago and it did not take long to heal --it did increase sensitivity and pumping breasts with piercings has really increased nipple size and sensitivity. Actually did it myself 18 gage needle and an ice cube not very painful as I remember have increased the hole size over time.

How long is not long? I'm loving the sensations when my nipples are stimulated, let alone get hard on their own. I still won't do it myself, as I consider something like a piercing to be something that should done safely, in a sterile environment, and under the supervision of a professional. It'll be a little awkward with very perky A-cups, but I think I could refrain for a day or two and just go in with the remnant moobs from weight loss since my shaping is really just beginning due to the bras. I'm a fuller persistent A-cup every day, mL difference outwardly but cL difference in my close observation, but I'm approaching the point of perky As with thickening nipples. And the bras are even helping with that. My nipples, as they harden through the day strain against the thin fabric of the bra and as they come down they're widened. It's an iterative thing, but even the scarred areola from my G removal in my 20s is expanding and the nipple itself becoming more differentiated from the areola starting to catch up to my natural side.

Mine were done professionally (along with my apodravia) and from memory nipples healed within a few weeks, so about 2/3-weeks. Going to a professional piercer they wouldn't care less if you've got moobs or boobs and they will make sure the correct gauge bar/hoop/etc are used.
Love mine being pierced

I'm such a coward I can't even think of doing that. Despite being curious. But then again, how could I use pumps unless that means removing stuff every time? That could never work out. And then I got bit less than year old piercings on my ears which still haven't truly healed, they get better and after a while I keep something on and my body soon gets mad about it and they're infected again, go almost shut and I have to pierce them again and the cycle repeats.

I could never destroy my nipples like that. No way, they would likely get insane infections and go necrotic or something. If they're not pretty enough without scrap metal on them, then they're no good at all.

I don't even have any ink on me, only self harm scars. Funny, I hate the idea of piercings on anything except my ears, but I can cut myself with a fishing knife, remove moles with razor blade, dig huge wood splinter from inside my foot, take ten inch long lipsuction needles through my wasit and boobs under local anesthetic (Those things hurt despite medication.) but can't even dream of taking nipple piercings. I guess I'm a wimp and totally vanilla too, excluding the self made tiger stripes on my arms.

That's what I'm concerned about, is rejection/infection and not being able to pump. But piercing was more of a curiosity in how to make my nipples larger, but just in the past few days I've noticed a change. I noogle when I wake up for as long as I can, and again when I get home for as long as I can, but then I put my Paruu's to work on my nipples with a splash of PM cream. The same cream that I went way overboard with in a previous post months ago. I take a brush and use the cream to lubricate the lactation pump and wear them with a sports bra while I sleep. Some nights I briefly wake up to reset them when their 30 minute timer goes off, others it's the one session and however the remaining vacuum holds my nipples in place. That, combined with the new bras and my nipples cycling from relaxed to aroused either from cold or stimulation when I can sneak it, has resulted in my nipples thickening and strengthening A LOT. Prior to this journey, when relaxed my nipples might have been 7-8mm. When erect, 5-6 maybe? In my latest bras I'm probably a 13-14mm when relaxed and a measured 12 when erect. And even my relaxed nipples are starting to just slightly print through the bra, another couple weeks, maybe through the tee, and I'm thankful for the overshirt because when erect I print if I pull it any more taut than resting.

On another note, I mentioned this in another thread and I'd again like to welcome you back. Reading your threads is what informed a lot of the things I do and allowed me to pluck up the courage to strive for my daily, live-in B's.

As for the self-harm, I genuinely hope that's well in the rear view mirror, but, if it's not, there are many here who are willing to be your sounding board aside from the assistance and courage you provided us. It's not a tit for tat thing, it's a genuine care and thank you thing.

I will close this out by saying, if you can take a fish knife, and I know a thing or two about knife wounds; you can definitely take a tattoo needle. I have several and I'd show, but they're also personally identifiable and my anonymity is valuable. You plucked up the courage to pump, did the research to begin to alter yourself, then went full-bore. If you really wanted a tattoo you'd not only have one, you'd have several. The issue isn't the willpower. The "issue" is that you haven't found the image/symbol/text that speaks to you so strongly that you're willing to endure whatever you have to in order to make it a reality. Doubt me? Your bra is singing my same song.

I think I'd like to get my ears, belly button and nose pierced at some point once I start trying to be more feminine. Maybe even get tattoos that are on the more feminine side like the designs you would see being done with henta, or flower thigh pieces.

It's really interesting how some people are scared of needles everyone is so different. For me I guess I've always been used to needles from all the injections I had when I was a kid, ouch, although I'd NEVER get a tattoo  
Piercings even ear piercings can be troublesome to heal, some people's body just reject it even with non-allergenic jewellery.  I had my naval pierced when I was 21 and had zero problem with that until 10 years ago when for some unknown reason it started to migrate / get infected and so had to take it out.
Last year I started using nipple correctors (for inverted nipples) and initially struggled as the piercings would get sore really quickly, but thankfully after a couple of months of daily(ish) use I can keep them sucked up all morning without any problem.

This is in response to another thread in another sub that made me re-read my own thread and examine the tone/phrasing in a new light. I know that when I posted all of them it was me just being excited about my changes and new sensations, but looking at it today I can see that they can be read in a different way. Having said all of that, if I’ve offended, upset or appeared in bad form to anyone on here I’d like to apologize. I will be scrutinizing my future posts to make sure they’re on the up-and-up. But if the air in here was anything less than crystal clear I wanted to take a moment and scrub it up.

So this is just arriving home from work. I slept until my alarm this morning, so I only had about a half hour to noogle before getting ready instead of my more common 90 minute session. I'm definitely not as full as I have been in the last few days of the previous pattern, but I can definitively say that I'm bigger than I was with my L cups after a day at work. I don't have any pictures from that time of a pre-pump size after work. I'm curious, but not enough to actually try, yet, going whole days without a single noogle and seeing how permanent this result is.

After a lot of direct over the nipple pumping, as is suggested by Noogleberry, and a splash of my PM cream I am much more full. I know it's transitory by and large, but this is the first time I've fully closed in and made my underwires push away.

I. Am. Happy.

The part that isn’t as obvious, at least as far as this pic is concerned, is that by doing a direct over nipple pump my areolas are broadening. The one that wasn’t operated on more so, but even my scarred areola is bigger.
