so i've been wanting to get my nipple pierced for a long time now, and i've done quite alot of research but lots of people keep saying different things, i know it's going to hurt a lot and im prepared for that. i'm just worried about the risks that could come after, like is it possible to get breast cancer from it? and if taking care of properly could it damage anything inside?! please let me know! i keep going back and forth on deciding whether i'll get it or not!
if you follow the instructions on how to care for your piercing, like any other body piercing (like your ears, belly button, tounge, nose) you should be fine! i DIDNT care for my belly piercing for a while, it became slightly infected and hurt whenever my boyfriend played with it and it pussed alot. now he can play with it and i wont even notice :).
healing does take time though, about 2 months it took my friends nipples to be healed and not hurt.
and i havent herd of anyone getting breast cancer from a piercing, so i think youll be fine! =]

You don't get cancer from body piercings.
If you follow your after care instructions, you shouldn't have a problem with damage. In fact, if you have your nipples pierced and have a baby, you can still breast feed your child, even while wearing the jewelry.
It takes quite a while to heal.
You'll want to be sure to invest in sports bras if you don't already have some. For the first couple of weeks, you'll want to wear one at all times.
