I have had pierced nipples for over 40 years. My first piercings were vertical, but after I got married, my wife said she would prefer the look of rings in my nipples versus hanging pendants so I put horizontal piercings in about 25 years ago and let the vertical piercings heal up. Recently, I decided to pierce my nipples again with vertical piercings so that I could hang more weight on my nipples without stretching the holes so much. I put the new piercings at the back of my nipples so that there would be a lot on nipple to support the weights.
So I'm on month two of my pierce-of-the-month plan, and today I went to Chameleon in Harvard Square (Cambridge, MA). I did the usual hand over the ID and pick the jewelry thing, paid for the procedure (~$130 for both nips with barbells), and then waited for the piercer. (I looked around a bit and started thinking I might like to get an industrial in my eft ear.)
I am writing to encourage anyone who is remotely considering having their nipples pierced to go ahead and do it. I have had pierced nipples for over 45 years and have enjoyed an extreme amount of pleasure from wearing rings in my nipples. I have always encouraged my wife to have her nipples pierced as well, but until 6 months ago, she always resisted. Finally, she gave in and let me pierce them for her. Now, she keeps telling me what a fool she was for not letting me do it long ago.
This Sunday 2/11/2008 I had both nipples repierced for the third time.
I wasnt sure whether to have barbells or rings,i have had rings in the past.My decision was made for me when the piercer said he always pierced with barbells as he felt they were less likely to get caught by anything and therfore would heal more quickly.
I really wanted a higher guage to start with but yet again he said he would only pierce with a 1.6mm barbell and then we could stretch from there.
Well folks, I took the big step. I've had my PA and Frenum for a long time.. they were blood-free and relatively pain-free. They were quick to heal with only a day or so of discomfort.
Got both nipples pierced 2 years ago. I really like them. My wife likes them also. The pain was not that bad. When I was pierced, took a couple of deep breaths and it was over. Right now I have 1 straight bar bell and 1 curved bar bell. Just about ready to get some rings. I say to anybody, go for it 
It seems as if it was only a few days ago that I wrote about how I liked my nipple rings. Now I truly regret using the piercer that I did for them.
I was in the bathroom looking them over, and realized that one of them was a bit scabby over the top of it. When I looked closer, I realized that the skin was too thin in that area, and was ready to reject the ring.
I will never forget the first pair of piercings that I got, and when I got them. When looking back at the day that happened a year ago, I realize that I wouldn't believe you if you told me that I would do what I did. However, I don't regret it at all. In this year of having my nipples pierced, I have stretched to 2 gauge, which is fairly large, especially for nipples. The stretch that I'll never forget was a big mistake - not really knowing much about how much to stretch, I went from 14 gauge to 8 gauge

I had my right nipple pierced in 2002, I had been thinking about it for a couple of years and finally decided to go ahead one day when walking past a piercers. there was some slight discomfort during the piercing but it was not unpleasant. I had a BCR inseted, i may have been lucky but it healed really quickly. i now have a selection of jewelery that i change to suit my mood. my nipple is now really sensitive to stimulation which is a bonus. My biggest regret is that i didn't have both done at the same time!
