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?

Not into stuff like that myself but I would have thought the purpose of nipple rings was to show that you have nipple rings. Put on a tight shirt and walk proudly through the library with your chest out like a proud pigeon kind of thing.

But I guess one solution is to get extra piercings on your chest and stomach so people won’t be able to tell which piercing is the actual nipple piercing.

I like the cut of your jib.

Nah.

I want to get nipple piercings because I want anybody who have sex with me to play with them and, as a bonus, humiliate me and degrade me. (yes, I know, body modifiers frown upon the sexualization of piercings, but I want them precisely because they are sexual, lol)

But I don’t want Karen, Christian Mother of the Street, to be denouncing me to the police for being a gay freak of nature who will transmit homosexuality to her children when they see my piercings through my shirt.

Ah, I think I have been watching too much Star Trek and forget that prejudice still exists sometimes ☹️

I had a friend who was very self-conscious about her nipples. She used to wear band-aids over them whenever she was wearing a tee shirt or something that might let them show through or even just poke out a bit.

You can get them in various sizes, and as far as I know they stay on pretty much all day. If you have chest hair, maybe look for something a bit less aggressive when it comes to removing them.

Unless you’re into that.

I have many friends with nipple piercings.

You can’t tell through a shirt.

Nobody is scrutinizing the shape of your nipples through a t shirt

Sounds like you shouldn’t get your nipples pierced

You’re not wrong, that is a thing. Source: me, a man with nipple piercings.

It’s more obvious with solid colours and less obvious with a pattern.
The thicker or stiffer the fabric, the less the fabric will contour.

Seems like something you just have to own.

Maybe I’ll do it anyway. But it makes me hesitant.

Luckily it’s a piercing that heals well. And you can easily remove them if you decide they aren’t working out.

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…
