NIPPLE PIERCING — WHAT TO EXPECT

Through the base of the nipple at the areola edge, our skilled piercer can provide this essential and delicate body art. Both nipples can be done in one session, ensuring you receive expert care every step of the way. We understand that piercing the sensitive area requires a private setting and a professional touch, which is why we offer our services in a judgment-free environment. Multnomah Body Piercing welcomes all bodies and presentations.

Serving Portland from Gresham, Oregon’s original studio since 1974. Our piercing room is private, making it the perfect place for you to receive this unique service.

NIPPLE PIERCING NEAR PORTLAND

PAIN LEVEL

The sensation during a nipple piercing is generally described as mild to moderate pain, falling within the range of 5-7/10. The process itself is quite quick, lasting only seconds per side. Many clients are pleasantly surprised by how minimal the actual procedure feels compared to their expectations.

HEALING TIME

Expect a 9-12 month healing period, during which the nipple tissue remains dense and has limited blood supply. Proper care is crucial for optimal healing, including protecting your new piercing from clothing friction or snagging. Our piercer will provide detailed guidance on how to wear bras or compression tops to minimize movement, and we recommend avoiding loose fabrics that could catch on jewelry.

JEWELRY FOR NIPPLE

Your initial nipple piercing at Multnomah Body Piercing will feature a straight barbell made of implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium, with appropriate gauge and length. After healing, you may choose between various options including rings (captive or seam), shield barbells, and decorative barbells.

Afterscare Protocol:

For the first few days, apply LITHA saline solution twice daily. After that, wear a snug but not tight bra or compression top to protect your new piercing from clothing friction or snagging. Avoid swimming pools for at least the first three months of healing.

Inverted Nipples:

If you have an inverted nipple, this does not rule out the possibility of getting pierced. In some cases, a piercing can help correct inversion over time. Experienced piercers like ourselves are equipped to handle such unique concerns during your consultation.

How much does a nipple piercing cost in Portland?: The cost for a single nipple piercing at Multnomah Body Piercing is $120. For both nipples, expect to pay the price of one plus a $25 service fee.
How long does a nipple piercing take to heal?: Your initial healing period will be approximately 9-12 months, though some clients may see full recovery in as little as 6 months. It's essential for your health and aesthetic results that you follow all post-piercing care instructions provided by our piercer.
Does a nipple piercing hurt a lot?: The procedure itself does not cause significant pain, but the thought of it might be more intimidating than the actual sensation. For many clients, the pain level is comparable to having your eyebrows waxed or receiving a tattoo, with some describing it as less intense than other piercings.
Can I get both nipples pierced at once?: We offer this service in one session for both nipples, which typically takes about 30-45 minutes. This allows our dedicated staff to handle all aspects of the procedure with care and precision.
What bra should I wear with a new nipple piercing?: To protect your new piercing from clothing friction or snagging, we recommend wearing a snug but not tight bra or compression top. Avoid loose fabric that can catch on jewelry during the healing process. Afterward, you may choose from various types of bras, including those with underwire.
Will a nipple piercing affect breastfeeding?: No, having a nipple piercing will not interfere with your ability to breastfeed. Our piercer will ensure that the piercing site is correctly positioned and protected during the healing process. However, it's always advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
