Thinking about having my nipples pierced. However, my main source of doubt is that it would be very visible when using a T-shirt…

Thoughts?

    You can get stick-on nipple pads (usually used to stop visible leaks while breast-feeding).

    I’d think you might need something like that while the piercing(s) are healing anyway.

      They’re also very popular with women who wear dresses without bras. They tend to be flesh coloured.

      The number of times I find the raw chicken fillets laying around in weird places…

    All these comments about trying to cover them up are a bit odd to me.

    Can’t you just remove them in settings where you think they might be visible and would rather not have them showing?

    Granted, I don’t know anything about nipple piercings. But I have my ears pierced and I can choose whether or not I want to put earrings in my ears or leave them “naked” any given day.

    I get that you’d have to likely wear them for a bit at first so the holes don’t immediately close at first…but after that why can’t you just put them in and out as you please.

    Again, I don’t know anything about nipple piercings, so if I’m wrong about that then I apologize.

      It takes several months to heal. During those months, you can’t take them off or else the hole heals and disappears.

    Got one for over a decade (unfortunately, one evening after removing it to clean it I forgot it, now I need to redo it).

    Nobody would notice it. A small bump is visible, especially over a tight T shirt, but people don’t expect to see one anyway, so they don’t notice.

    I got mine done because I was too afraid of people reaction about a banal earring, so I am confident that not many did notice.

    I’ve had them before. If you want to hide them, wear a jacket or sweater. It’s not a big deal anymore though. The only people that ever said anything was friends and family teasing a bit. I’d still have them if my body didn’t reject them so often, but that’s just something to do with me

      Mine never fully healed but then I had my gall bladder removed and was on some massive antibiotics for a few weeks, and one of them finally healed up. A few years later I got a bad tooth infection, and the antibiotics healed up the other one. They do still get light crusties so I try not to move them except in the shower, but at least there’s been no sign of infection in the last 15 years.

    I’ve had my nipples pierced for a few decades. Don’t bother trying to hide them because they don’t really stand out. Depending on the jewelry you’re wearing, of course. I wear simple captive bead rings and no one has ever noticed them through my clothing.

    Happy to answer any questions about long-term nipple piercings, if anyone has questions.

        I mean that’s a fair guess, but I’ve had them for 20 years, so I would assume that family or my wife would have mentioned if they were noticable.

          Got mine done in '97, and have the same results. I usually wear tshirts, nothing tight but nothing thick either. Everyone I HAVE shown them to was taken completely by surprise and had no idea. I have full rings, I’ve heard those generally stand out more than barbells, although pulling my shirt tight I can only barely see the lump for the ball so maybe if OP got hardware with really large balls they might be noticeable?
