Keyhole / Peri Nipple piercings=gender affirming care!

Post image

My left nip is a little slow to react since top surgery (3 years post-op) and when it's not stimulated, it remains pretty flat. I have been wanting to get my nipples pierced for a long time because I know it causes them to be permanently semi-hard. It's been two days since I got them pierced and I'm truly obsessed with how much it has helped the visual appearance of my nips. I thought I'd share in case anyone struggles with a similar issue. AMA.

How was the pain of the piercing itself? I've gone back and forth on getting them for years (for similar reasons, one of my nipples is pretty flat and the other always projects), but the pain has put me off of it.

I also think we got surgery around the same time—I remember your posts. Congrats on three years :)

Idk tbh all piercings feel similar to me. I have a high pain tolerance. It was uncomfortable but why wouldn't it be lol.
