What hurts more: nipple or lip piercing?
I am about to get my nipples pierced (both at once!) but, as always, might chicken out, so I thought I'd go prepared. I have eight tattoos, on my arms, legs, ankle, lower back, and on the back of my neck - none of those hurt too much. I have my nostril pierced - that didn't hurt either. I had my lip pierced - I would say so far, that was the worst.
Anyone with nipple/lip/tat experience care to ease my fears? No negative comments, please, it's my damn body to decorate how I wish!
Okay, well I'm a little lost on the fact that my eye has a lot of nerve endings and whatever a 55 is. But, in ref to the good job, most jobs are not going to involve me baring my breasts, and if I did have a job that involved that, I think the nipple piercings would make me more popular. The only tat/piercing I have that is not easily covered by 'business casual' attire is ny nostril piercing, which is actually widely accepted in the business world and easy to hide with an acrylic retainer.

I have horizontal and vertical nipple piercings, a lip piercing and tattoos! I'm also a piercer, so allow me to remind you that a piercing is done and over with in seconds.
Nipples, though sensitive aren't as bad to pierce as you might think. Do your best to relax and stay calm. Since pain is relative and everyone feels it differently, I can't tell you what to expect other than the typical pain of being pierced. You'll be okay.
I think in this piercing the healing is far worse. You are not recommended to play with the nipples for 6-8 weeks and the won't be fully healed until 8-12 months. During the initial healing time, its so frustrating to have to watch your boobs. Something I wish I would have been warned: watch out for bear hugs and seat belts that go over the shoulder and mine you nipples while removing bras and shirts.
Edit: I applaud you for decorating your body as you wish :-D

Nipple piercings hurt more than lobe piercings, a fair bit more because of the nerve dense tissue. Exactly how much more? It just depends on your body, like how much a lobe piercing hurts on a scale of 1-10; everyone's bodies are unique when it comes to processing pain.

The nipple, no doubt, hurts worse. However, it's less frustrating being that you don't eat and talk with your breasts. So, it's easier adjusting to a nipple ring. A warning about them, though- if you get a horseshoe nipple ring as opposed to a fully closed captive bead, DO NOT let necklaces get caught in them- my husband lost a nipple piercings that way...and that hurts worse than the piercing itself, lol. And, clean it careful. The worst part about piercings is when the dried skin sticks to the jewelry and you slide it through the hole...oww!

for me the nipple was the most painful piercing i got. but as u know it only hurts for a few seconds. they look great too. i had heard so many stories about tat's hurtin so much that it nearly put me off but when i got it done i just laughed it just felt like someone with nail's scratchin ya. i say you go girl it's your body.

actually your eyeball does not have any nerves so it wont hurt, but your nipple is loaded with nerves....
But, one persons pain is another pleasure

Yes it's your body but I do hope you realize that you're not going to be able to get a decent job.
