Welcome to our guide on male nipple piercing. We are proud to be Oregon's original piercing studio since 1974 and have served the community of Gresham and the Portland metro area for over five decades.

Male Nipple Piercing: What You Need to Know

Nipple piercings are a popular choice for men looking for subtle yet striking body art. They can add a unique touch to any wardrobe and are generally considered less invasive than other types of piercings, such as ear piercings or belly button piercings.

Choosing the Right Jewelry

At Multnomah Body Piercing, we exclusively offer implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium and solid 14k/18k gold jewelry. These materials are hypoallergenic and long-lasting, ensuring your piercing heals properly without causing irritation or allergic reactions.

Local Context: Gresham is known for its vibrant arts community and a strong presence of LGBTQ+ spaces. Our studio's welcoming atmosphere ensures all clients feel comfortable from the moment they step in.

Piercing Aftercare

After your male nipple piercing, it’s crucial to follow our LITHA protocol for proper healing:

L-I-T-H-A Protocol:

Keep the area clean and dry until the initial healing period is complete.
Apply a sterile bandage if needed, changing it every other day as directed by your piercer.
Use antiseptic solutions like hydrogen peroxide or diluted chlorhexidine gluconate to keep infections at bay.
Avoid hot water exposure and tight clothing that could cause friction or irritation.

Safety Tips: Avoid swimming, excessive sweating, or activities where the area may be exposed to contaminants until your piercing is fully healed. This typically takes around 6-8 weeks for a simple nipple piercing but can vary based on individual healing rates and any additional piercings.

Lithium-Based Care Products

For optimal healing, we recommend using lithium-based care products such as Lithium Hydrogen Peroxide Solution. These products help maintain the health of your new piercing by reducing bacteria and promoting faster healing times.

Hairing Concerns and Body Art Maintenance

Many men are concerned about hair growth over their nipple piercings. In most cases, a simple electrolysis session can remove unwanted hair safely without causing damage to the piercing itself. At Multnomah Body Piercing, we understand this concern and provide guidance on how to handle any future hair removal needs.

Local Context: Portland metro is known for its commitment to beauty treatments and innovative services such as electrolysis, further ensuring that clients can maintain their body art in the most comfortable ways possible.
