Permanent Nipple Rings
aman...@seattle.email.net
A few years ago, I decided to have both my nipples pierced and
nipple rings permanently installed. I was in college at the time,
and I wanted to do something a little different than some of my friends.
Although at times they were slightly uncomfortable (especially with
close-fitting clothes), I have thoroughly enjoyed them and have them
removed, which I understand would be a complicated process anyway.
I'm now seeing a guy seriously, and we've been dating seriously for
the last month. I anticipate that eventually (probably sooner than later)
he'll have the opportunity to see my breasts, and I'm unsure as to how
he'll react to the rings. Can anyone offer any advice in order to avoid
a potentially disastrous situation?
Aside from my ears, my nipples are the only other piercings.

like them. Maybe you can get him a matched set for his nipples.

Right on! Nipple rings are hot. When I found out my new girlfriend had them, I
was curious and secretly turned on, though a little wary. Well, we talked
about it and I eventually got to experience them first hand. Incredible! Now I
want some... and now I subscribe to this newsgroup!
If you guy is squemish, talk to him and find out why. Maybe he thinks it
hurts you, etc. The more he understands and feels free to be curious, alarmed,
etc., the more likely he is to eventually accept and embrace!
Good luck. Let us know what happens...

Amanda,
I think this is wonderful. My wife adores my one nipple ring, so
much so that I intend to have the other one done as a New Year
present to both of us. The original one is a ball closure ring, but
I would very much like to have it fixed permanently. Several months
ago there was a discussion here about permanent fixtures - not just
nipple rings. I would love to hear how you had them done permanently
and what gauge they are. You shouldn't be ashamed of your piercings.
They are (quite literally) part of you.
Love to hear from you.

I assume you mean don't want to have them removed.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by permanent rings, but I would assume
that you must be a fairly open-minded person to have tried piercing and to
be here on RAB. Considering that, it is doubtful that you would get
serious with someone that couldn't understand if you explained it to him.
If he can't, then maybe it's best you find out early in the relationship.
Personally seeing a picture of a woman's pierced nipple was what first
interested my in piercing. I studied the subject, found out everything I
could about it. Then talked to my wife who told me it was my body and up
to me. Even then I agonized over it for two years before I pierced my
nipples, mainly because her response was less than excited about the
prospect. I finally did it last october. My wife was a little shocked that
I actually went through with it, but she found she likes them. So much so
she is considering piercing one of her nipples to try it out.

If this guy is worth keeping, he should understand, accept, and
perhaps greatly admire your nipplerings. He may be initially
shocked, but again he may welcome them with great enthusiasm! A
woman having pierced nipples is a lot more understandable (and by
some individuals, acceptable) than if a man does. Besides, I can
personally think of nothing which could possibly be more sensuously
erotic than a woman wearing nipplerings (except possibly a clit-ring,
but this is a matter of personal preference and not applicable in
your case).
Then too, if you do have your rings removed, it will still be
immediately apparent that your nipples are pierced (although the
holes will all but disappear over time). There is a distinct
possibility that the guy will be offended that you had them removed
without allowing him the opportunity to voice his opinion on removal
or retention.
All in all, I suspect that removing them poses as much risk to the
relationship as keeping them. Besides, if this relationship
collapses, you'll want to keep them anyway (as you said, you are
very pleased with your nipplerings). Since there is similar risk to
the relationship in either case, I say vive la nipplerings!

What makes you think so? This is the first opinion I've ever heard that a
person's sex is a factor in the acceptance of pierced nipples.

I recently dated someone who was...shall we say not the type to be into
bodmods? ANyway, I warned him in advance about my piercings, and while
he was really skeptical at first, he ended up not caring one way or the
other. While this lack of enthusiasm makes him someone I could not spend
the rest of my life with, it was fun to be able to teach someone something
new.

Could it be like the male bi-sexual issue......???
Bi-sexuality in women seems to be a desirable trait....ie 3 some, voyeur
fantasies and all.....but bi-sexuality in men is largely a major no-no.
AND yes folks...this felling existing long BEFORE AIDS....so don't use
that cop out excuse pleasssssse!!
In my persoanl experience...(I am a male bi-sexual).....many men, NOT ALL,
I KNOW !!! who have nipple piercings are gay or bi.....therefore it may
indicate a person's sexual preference if a man's nipple is pierced...and
why it is OK for a woman....not for a man.....
BTW I abhore these thoughts in people...I just find them to be
prevalent...

3 years ago this may have been true. Nowadays, We pierce many more
straight men's nipples than we do gay-identified men.

relathionship, or even discourge one. If a partner says this is the reason
then I would suggest there is something else and this is only an excuse
to move on. Piercing is becoming more widely accepted everyday, and at a
rate I believe is faster than that of the changing fashion. Piercing
is just a form of expression in personnel life and to those who look
down on it, I just move on as I care not to deal with close minded individuals
with no understanding of the compex human mind.
Bottom line if you like it then don't change your life for the acceptance
of another person. If you do you will find at some point you will reflest
back with regret.

this is stereotyping at its worst. I would think someone who is in one of
the many catagories that are looked down upon by "The Average American"
would know better than to use these crass and sweeping generalizations. I
can tell you from "personal experience" that the average person doesn't
yet know enough about piercing to think of it in any terms. Most people
are shocked, appalled, confused, indignant and disgusted. The same
reaction was apparent in the fifties toward the duck tailed hoods like
James Dean, in the sixties to hippies, and so on. If people who are part
of mainstream stereotyping buy into it, what chance is there of ever
overcoming it?

When I first read this, my knee-jerk reaction was that this was somebody
who was severely homphobic. Then I noticed that the poster claims to be a
male bi-sexual and suddenly it all made sense. Of course, in his personal
experience, many men who have nipple piercings are gay or bi; after all, he
probably socializes with many more shirtless gay or bi men than with shirtless
heterosexual men.
This led to wonder what percent of the RAB is gay or bi (I know, curiosity
killed the cat). The stereotype is that if you have piercings, you must be
gay, a sexual deviant, or a rebellious college student. Since we had a
poll on the ages of RABbits, why not find out how many of us fit this little
demographic mosaic?

Thank you....I am fer sure not a homophobe ...never was or have
been.....my sister is gay......
BTW I also realized that being from the SF Bay Area....where in the
Castro at least....men are often shirtless.....that this entire region may
see pierced nipples on gay/bi men primarily and jump to conclusions....
sort of like if you wear a black leather jacket.....wear a beard....have
and earing and ride a bike you're a Hell's Angel.....and yes it is a
stereotype pigeon hole reaction....but as much as I hate it....isn't that
what western society seems to be VERY good at? putting people into little
boxes so they can be catagorized?
THAT is what I was trying to get at....

btw I have 3 piercings....nipples and guiche...more to come
but then again.....how many places do ya go where ya see shirtless men?

Well, I am gay, but working in a fairly upscale corporate environment, (oh the wonders of
septum retainers and long sleeved shirts :).
I think body art may be more prevalent in the gay and/or bi communities because as a group
that has already broken one of the "big" morays of polite society, there is a certain
tendancy toward non-judgementalism, or at the very least more of a live and let live
attitude. Not universal by any means, gays can be judgemental asses just like anyone else,
but the culture tends to value non-conformity to a greater degree than most heterosexual
cultures.

Bi, female, 2 piercings besides my ears, one little tat, and
usually not a sexual deviant.

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not gay or bi.
I was also going to deny the "sexual deviate" label, but then I realized
that I
now live in Iowa. It may be, here, that people who put metal rings through
their
nipples - with, at least, a passing interest in tugging on them during
passionate
moments - are, by definition, sexual deviates.
I do have to confess that I was, indeed, a "rebellious college student."
My
politics were just a bit to the left of Mr Hoffman, and I was asked to
leave more
than one institute of higher learning.
The odd thing, though, - given how many years it's been since those
halcyon days
- is that I didn't get pierced until a couple months ago. After becoming
"middle-class" and "old" and a member of the "Establishment", I wonder why
I did
it now.
Perhaps it has everything to do with how time has passed. I've spent a
long
time learning to try to shed guilt and hopelessness, and I think it's
slowly
beginning to work! It's a new feeling for me - freedom. I think most
pierced
folks are more than gay or bi or deviant. I think they are trying to grab
a bit
of personal freedom - and hope. Perhaps gay and bi people are more likely
to have
left behind some of the restraints of social appraisal - or been convinced
that
they're never going to win that game, so why bother? That may be why they
seem
more likely to have taken ownership of themselves - and marked their new
property
with a distinctive bit of metal.
On the other hand, I may just be raving nuts. :-)

I really don't know about piercing (I'm not gay or bi and I have three
pierces, all below my neck - go figure), but my guess on tatooing would be
that the miltary (especially the Navy) would have about the highest
percentage of bodies with art on them. I met other sailors from countries
all over the world when I was in, and most had tatoos. My one tatoo was/is
more of a symbol of belonging (real sailors have tatoos), than to any
commmitment to personal bodyart. But then that was almost 20 years ago.

Hmm, bi, a sexual deviant (or so some people tell me) but I wasn't a

How about the sauna at the health club? After my aerobics class I sat
in the sauna. It's hard to cover up piercings (nipple and PA) in the
sauna, so I said to myself "What the hey." Sure enough a gay guy from
my class starts up a conversation, though never mentioning the
piercings. I kept up the conversation but indicated that I wasn't
interested in a relationship. When it comes down to it, being "hit on"
is always flattering.

Dunno if you're going to get an accurate idea in this way, because publicly
identifying one's self as heterosexual doesn't carry consequences. Anyone
who's read this newsgroup for more than 5 minutes knows by now that i'm gay,
but once upon a time i was terrified at the prospect that anybody would
discover my Terrible Secret.

Well, I guess I fit it relatively well; 21, bi, at least slightly rebellious in
college, multiple pierces and tats. Although I've never fit the stereotypical
'fashion' concept that most people have. I look like a stereotypical farm girl
(or an eastern european housewife) most of the time. Only visible bodyart is my
tragus piercing, which most folks don't notice anyway. Oh well, my two cents.

Ummm...where do I lie in the sexual spectrum? I'd probably say
straight...although I am slightly bi curious. I've been out of college
for a while so I can't say that my piercings are out of rebellion. And I
wouldn't consider issues/activities of power exchange as sexual
deviations. So, where do I fit? As for my mods? I've got the
obligatory/socially acceptable ears (8 in total)...and both my nipples
(one by Brian Murphy at Guantlet, S.F. and one by ardvark). And in the
next week I'm getting a frenum..or if they'll do it at the same time, a
ladder. And three tats and a back piece in progress.
If anyone was interested.

Hmm... well, I think it's just a coincidence, but I got my first pierce
(a PA) at about the same time I started questioning my assumption that I
was heterosexual. I can't really say that my current knowledge of my
bisexuality has anything to do with my piercing.
I do think I qualify as a rebellious college student, though - at least
for a few more months :)

pierces: got a navel pierce today yea!!!!; other pierces are eyebrow, nose,
ear cart, and regular ear piercings. More to come.
tats: 4: one on each arm; 1 in collarbone area; another on back left
shoulder blade
I'm straight, though one never knows. I don't think, though, that my body art
has much of a sexual connotation to it. It's just something I always wanted

I forgot to add I've *always* been a rebellious college student, although
rebellion and Ohio State at the present time is an oxymoron. Back
when I was in undergraduate school in Canton, Ohio (1964-1969) one would not
have visited a tattoist without an armed guard. The first person I knew who
ever got tattoos (outside of military men) was in 1970. He had a beautiful
set it jungle birds on both arms he'd gotten Bogota.. Up to that point I'd
thought that tattoos were limited to "Mom" and naked women.

known I'm gay. I remember stapling my earlobes when I was 5 (much to
the terror of my mom). My list now includes: 5 ear pierces (1 cart),
septum, nostril, 3 nipple pierces, PA, 2 central hafadas. Seems I get one
new hole every year since I entered college.
My husband now has a nipple, PA, and 2 earrings cause he liked the way they
looked on me. I don't think either of us got pierced because we're gay.
Or perhaps indirectly... As a gay man, I'm already on the fringe, and being
on the fringe allows a greater degree of freedom. I'm not trying so hard to
fit into a mold, so I feel free to do whatever I diddly-damn please to myself.
Kinda like being liberated.
Just my 3.5 cents.

Rebellious? I wouldn't say so. More so your atypical doctoral student
who enjoys cartoons and reminding people that their preconceived notion
of an economist is probably incorrect. I tend to dress, I would say,
conservatively most of the time. Pants, usually cords, dress shoes (DM
monk strap), an oxford style shirt (no tie), and a rain shell.
Sexuality? Um, well not sure these days. I've always found members of
both sexes attractive but have only dated one man as opposed to six
women. I think that perhaps I'm a Kinsey (for those who believe it) 5.5
or so. Straight is 6, correct? Anyway, my piercings are so far from my
sexuality I just dont' comprehend how people make any such connection.
I guess that's my 2 cents worth.

about more.
Sexually deviant: Not really. Intellectually curious and open minded,
though.
Bodyart/Sexuality connection: Yeah, I see a connection between many of
my bodmods and my sexuality, but more to it's expression in general

Piercings: (deep breath) septum, two right eyebrow, two Labrets, tongue,
both tragus', right Daith, left lower Conch (with keloid), right Helix,
various lobe, 4 10ga outer labia and 10ga horizontal hood. I've had an
equal number of piercings that didn't work out for what ever reason - bad
placement, bad healing (nipple, labia, 3 nostril, ear cartilage).
Ink: The ivy that will eventually creep around and down my body, Celtic
right forearm wrap, unfinished white and purle tribal, deadly nightshade

Now that I've caught my breath from that fit of laughter:
Age: 39
Sex: female
Orientation: bi
Deviant: Whenever I get the chance!
Occupation: Office manager for major newspaper; record store peon (it's
not a job, it's nothin' but a party, y'all!)
Piercings: Three holes in one ear lobe, two in the other, considering my
options for futher piercings (one of my best friends and
fellow record store peons is our local piercing goddess)
Tats: Right ankle--the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum in Sanskrit, two small
lotus blossoms, large lotus on inside of leg; left ankle--cute
little leaping dolphin that needs some touch-up work, soon to be
joined by a Celtic band and who knows what else. Considering work
for shoulders and lower back. Can't get enough of that inky
stuff!
I was an extremely rebellious teenager and college student, so I find it
very ironic that now, later in life when I have more balance and am more
settled into myself as a person, is when I am exploring the wonderful
world of bodmods. Every tat and pierce is a celebration, and expression,
of who I am and how happy I am to be here!
Cheers, dears!

No, ma'am! Nothing wrong at all! Good point. But to comment on Anne's
original post about the invisibility of inked and pierced bi womyn, I
think that we don't stand out from the crowd precisely because our
bi-ness allows us to move quite comfortably beyond the artificial
barriers set up by society to identify people by sexual preference. In
other words, we're equally at home with hets and gays. So, unless you
do a little prospecting, you never know if that tattooed, pierced gal pal
you always assumed to be het is actually wanting an up-close-and-personal
look at your own bodyart!

Well, if it's long-running discussions you want, there's been a
controversy for nigh-on thirty years or longer between members
of the literary/fine arts culture and members of the scientific
community about who gets bragging rights for the term "intellectual."
If some in the humanities can't even accept the idea of *science*
as a worthwhile pursuit, it would hardly surprise me to see a handful
of self-styled art snobs looking down their noses at something as
new [sic] as body art.

>Is there such a piercing, and could somebody describe it to me?
From the Piercing FAQ:
*Ampallang*
Initial healing: 6 to 10 months.
The Ampallang is made horizontally through the glans (head). There is some
debate among piercers regarding the placement of the Ampallang. A piercing
intersecting the urethra is in effect two piercings, allowing urine to irrigate
through the piercings. Piercers who prefer the transurethral piercing
contend that a transurethral piercing tends to heal faster and be stronger than
a piercing made above the urethra.
Initial jewelry: Barbells in 14 to 10 gauge; the length of the
barbell must be determined by measuring the penis while it is
erect, using calipers.
*Apadravya*
Initial healing: 4 to 8 months; maybe less if the piercing is a continuation
of the Prince Albert.
The Apadravya is made vertically through the glans, and is often a
continuation of the Prince Albert. Both the Ampallang and Apadravya will
bleed considerably during the first week. They may take a year or more to

that's where my s.o. is from and he misses it terribly. Actually,
there's a fair number of bi women out here, but most of them refuse to
mark their bodies, I have no idea why...I can't stop doing stuff to mine. ;)

Gawd i wish people would just get over themselves and stop being
so judgemental of others. If somebody wants to be bisexual i say
live and let live. The only thing that gets me steamed are those
bisexuals who go around making condescending remarks about
"monosexuals", or who opine that everyone is basically bisexual
when the truth is that they're just overgeneralizing on the basis
of their own experiences. That really torques my knobs.

I have a weakly defined underwear fetish, is that deviant?
and before I say if I'm rebellious or not I want someone to define
rebellious.

they should go under a new, edited subject heading, like "Hey buddy,

This thread started out trying to find out if most pierced males were bi
or gay. If only bi and gay people replied then we wouldn't find out.
Actually I thought it was odd that all the females have been replying (as
this started out by someone saying that most of the men with nipple rings
they knew were bi or gay), but I figured that someone out there would keep
track and give us a statistical summary for both genders sometime later.
