Nipple Piercing Procedure
The following set of photographs illustrates the main features
of the procedure during a nipple piercing with a captured
bead ring. My technique relies on the use of anaesthetic
to make the piercing itself painless.
The majority of piercers use no anaesthetic
and rely on clamping to hold the nipple tight.
Whichever method you choose, make sure your piercer has plenty
of experience.

Disinfecting the skin surface of the areola
and nipple using a Betadine
swab.
The entry and exit points for the piercing have previously been
marked out. |
|
| Injecting the nipple with
lidocaine through a 26 gauge needle. |
|
| A prick with the 26gauge needle is used to confirm that
the lidocaine has worked. |
|
The piercing cannula
has been passed through the nipple.
The lines used to mark the entry and exit points are visible in
this photograph. |
|
The steel cutting needle has been drawn back into
the cannula.
This has allowed one end of the ring
to be introduced into the cannula
sheath. |
|
The nipple is being
squashed as the ring is pushed through the piercing.
The photograph does not show my finger pushing the ring. |
|
| The ring is now through the
nipple. |
|
| Ring open pliers are being used to spring open the ring,
allowing the bead to be inserted between the two ends of the ring. |

A close up view of the new piercing.
A little blood has seeped from the piercing.
This is normal. |
|
| Finished. |
