A nipple piercing is a piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. Nipple piercing can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. Nipple piercing is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. A nipple piercing typically takes 2-4 months to fully heal. Some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to fully heal. Nipple piercing's recommended that if stretching a nipple piercing, the piercee waits at least the healing time of their piercings between stretches.
The perforation of the nipple to apply jewelry has been practiced by various people throughout history. Male nipple piercing was reported to be done by the Karankawa Indians, female nipple piercing is practiced by the Kabyle people in Algeria.
Nipple-piercing was a fashion statement dating back to the 14th Century and having a short-lived revival among society women during the Victorian period around 1890. However, the historian Lesley Hall has commented that these claims might be traced back to a few letters published in the magazine Society during 1899, which can be judged as erotic fantasies rather than descriptions of actual activity.
In the late 1970s the practice was revived again by Jim Ward, proprietor of the Gauntlet in West Hollywood. The mainstream popularity of the practice is partly due to celebrities who publicly displayed their piercings or confessed to have one in the 1990s, such as Tommy Lee, Corey Taylor and Lenny Kravitz. Nipple piercing has gained much popularity in recent years with many celebrities and fashion models having this type of piercing.

One got her first nipple piercing the day before her 23rd birthday. She had spent most of the summer of 1989 reading Re/Search's Modern Primitives volume obsessively, and somewhere along the path, his revulsion towards nipple piercing shifted to curiosity and then to outright desire to experience it. So, there it is.... The first picture of the actual first nipple piercings is shown in the small photo to the right.
It was actually a group ritual, with other piercees and witnesses (see below) and the whole thing was videoed, but she never saw it because the guy who shot it lost the tape in his "divorce.She decided to only get one nipple pierced because 1) she was not sure how painful it would be and 2) she is in a relationship and didn't want both her nipples "out of commission" as it were...
