Body piercing, especially nipples, has been practiced since centuries by general public and royalty alike for aesthetic and sexual pleasure purposes. It has never gone out of style with celebrities such as Neil Patrick Harris, Bella Hadid and Candice Swanepoel to name a few, from Hollywood film fraternity, modeling and music fields flaunting pierced teats all over the internet.

There is no gender specification for getting nipples pierced; however more number of women opt for it than men, and decorate them with jewelry especially captive bead ring or barbell piercings preferably made from surgical and sterile stainless steel for safety and protection from infections. Many people choose diamond studded gold jewelry as per personal interest.

Nipple piercing needs to be done by a professional artist, where one or both nipples are pierced with a body piercing gun or go with old school manual method using sharp stainless steel hypodermic needles. It can be done in different directions such as horizontal, vertical or diagonal depending individual preference; however horizontal is common when compared to others.

In some cases, people go with more than one piercing on one or both teats. Piercing artists sterilize the nipple and hold it in place with pliers before firing gun to make a hole through it.
