Female nipple Piercings use either 14 or 12 gauge captive bead rings, circular barbells, or straight barbells. They are done through the nib of the nipple and not in the areola. Healing periods can be 3 to 6 months and up to a year for full seasoning.

Rough or excessive play should be avoided during the healing time. Once healed the jewelry can be changed and or stretched.
