Piercing / Nipple piercing / Vertical nipple piercing
Vertical nipple piercing
Vertical nipple piercing is a bold and aesthetic form of body decoration, in which the nipple is pierced vertically and then an ornament is inserted into the resulting hole, most often in the form of a barbell or a ring. This piercing can significantly highlight and emphasize the unique features of your body, giving it an attractive and sensual look. In our studio, we perform vertical nipple piercings regularly and with maximum expertise, which allows us to achieve great results and satisfaction of our customers. Our experienced professionals ensure that the highest hygiene standards are followed to ensure that every piercing is safe and hassle-free.

Preparing for a vertical nipple piercing
Before the procedure:

At least eat a little.
You put on clothes that you wouldn't mind getting dirty if a drop of blood got on them. Often, not even one appears, but it can happen.
Vertical nipple piercing procedure
Upon arrival at the studio, you will fill out a "Consent to the procedure", which will include, among other things, contraindications before vertical nipple piercing and subsequent care. The absence of contraindications and compliance with the care procedure recommended by us is one of the important conditions for successful healing of the piercing.
This is followed by a conversation with the piercer. You will discuss the appropriate placement and jewelry for the vertical nipple piercing, which we will insert immediately and, if necessary, which you will wear afterwards.
The piercer will prepare a work area. The chosen jewelry for vertical nipple piercing, along with the needle, will be sterilized for about 10 minutes. During that time, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions and clarify any necessary information.
After sterilization, the piercer will mark the final puncture site for the vertical nipple piercing, disinfect the skin, and within a few seconds you will have a new vertical nipple piercing.
After the piercing, the piercer will treat the vertical nipple piercing, take a photo of it if you agree, cover it with a patch, and explain the care of the vertical nipple piercing to you once again.
Healing time of vertical nipple piercing
The process of complete healing of a nipple piercing usually takes between 5 and 9 months, sometimes longer. Complete healing means that the piercing canal is completely covered with new skin.
The healing process of a vertical nipple piercing
Nipple piercings heal for quite a long time, about 6-9 months. Nipples almost always swell quickly after piercing and return to their usual size in about 1-2 months. At this point, it is necessary to exchange for a shorter piece of jewelry, otherwise there is a risk of frequent insertion of the jewelry and subsequent traumatization. Sometimes it is necessary to exchange several times during healing, so if you feel that the jewelry is becoming too long and is getting in the way, you can ask for it to be shortened. When exchanging jewelry for a shorter one, the price of the jewelry is paid according to the current price list, the service is free if it is the initial healing process.
After a nipple piercing procedure, it is important to follow the following restrictions and recommendations:
During the first two months, clean the nipples twice a day with sterile saline solution or a special spray for piercing care. If the nipples start to become dry because of this or there is any other similar reaction, just wash them with clean water (filtered or boiled) by first immersing the nipple in water (you can use a clean glass) or soaking it with a spray, waiting a little until all the crusts soften and then carefully removing them. We do not use any irritants such as alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, antibacterial soap, Betadine, Dettol, etc.
For the first few days, we recommend inserting clean gauze pads into your bra to protect both your underwear and your nipples from getting dirty. If you are not wearing a bra, you can cover your nipples with a sterile bandage, but only until they bleed, which may not be the case. We change both the gauze and the bandage at least twice a day after the piercing has been treated.
Avoid visiting the sauna, solarium, swimming pool, sea and other public swimming pools for two months.
Do not sleep on your stomach during the entire healing period.
Do not play with your nipples , even during sex, for at least the first 2 months.
For the first 7 days after the procedure, avoid exercises that involve working the pectoral muscles and arms.
Wear a bra that does not put pressure on the nipples and generally avoid any movement, pressure, etc. that would lead to traumatization of the piercing canal.
Keep in mind that the initial healing time for a nipple piercing is approximately 2 months. However, full healing can take up to 12 months. This time can vary depending on individual factors, including your personal hygiene and piercing care.
Caring for a vertical nipple piercing
Sterile saline solution : For the care of the piercing, a sterile saline solution is required, which you can buy from us or at the pharmacy in the form of sterile seawater for daily nasal hygiene for infants. Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or antiseptics to treat the piercing (only if necessary and for a limited time, according to the instructions).
Treatment frequency : Treat the piercing 2-3 times a day with clean hands using a cotton swab, cotton pad or gauze.
Scab Removal : Harder scabs of lymph and blood plasma form around a fresh piercing. Do not scratch them, but moisten them first and gently remove them when they soften.
Jewelry Stability : Do not move the jewelry during treatment as this will interfere with healing. Never remove the jewelry for cleaning. Do not touch the jewelry with your hands unless they are washed or disinfected. Avoid touching the piercing with your hands, hair, underwear or clothing.
Protection from damage : If you are not sure that the piercing is sufficiently protected from mechanical damage, cover it with a plaster. It is forbidden to visit the swimming pool, sauna and other public swimming pools, including natural ones, with an unhealed piercing.
Physical activity : During healing, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise that could cause you to sweat a lot or damage your fresh piercing. Sweat, along with the substances you excrete and dirt that stick to it, can lead to infections and inflammation of the piercing. It is safe to exercise with your piercing, but be careful. After exercising, rinse your piercing with clean water and treat it with saline solution.
Piercing Problems : If you have a problem with your piercing – it burns, hurts or pussies – contact the studio immediately. For acute cases, call, for less acute cases, write and attach a photo taken in good light so that the problem can be seen. Be very careful when taking a photo with the piercing.
Immunity : Piercing is a mechanical damage to the skin, so good immunity plays a big role in the healing process. Take care of your immunity: get enough sleep, rest, good food and walks in the fresh air. Alcohol, drug consumption and smoking worsen immunity and consequently the healing process.
Jewelry shortening : Some types of piercings require jewelry shortening after about 6-12 weeks. Sometimes it involves several shortenings. In our studio, you do not pay for the shortening service if you have a piercing from us. You only pay for the jewelry.
