For sure show off your bling!!! Christmas themed bling is always fun that time of year, be creative. Speaking from experience mistletoe is a fun charm to adorn yourself with ! Don't be offended though if someone asked to kiss your bits under the mistletoe (No worries though, no still means no if you don't want any holiday kisses wink)
Had mine pierced at TTR on the beach with a crowd standing around watching 6 years ago! Never had a problem with them till one side got snagged last summer and pulled partially out.
Hurts like a bitch! No getting around that. Lots of nerves in your nipples. A good piercer can lessen the pain, but it's going to hurt pretty bad......If your nipples aren'the very sensitive you experience less pain.
When I went with my wife many years ago(gf at the time), she said that it didn't really hurt that bad at all. She is pretty sensitive there, but I guess since we went to a higher-end well established professional place, it made a difference.
Asking someone does it hurt is very subjective. I've had my nipples pierced and I have a VCH piercing. I wouldn't consider either to be overly painful but I would want the pierce to take anymore then a few seconds. We all have different sensitivity levels and pain thresholds. BTW I would recommend both to everyone!! Nikki
Oh I am sure you did, wasn't trying to say otherwise. Sorry if it seemed that way. I know you guys are wayyyy more experienced in piercing department. Maybe I just bite them so hard on a regular basis, it wasn't that big a deal. Haha no I don't really do that. Elyse just has an unusually high pain tolerance. When she went in for a "External cephalic version", I let her know that if it was getting to a point I was uncomfortable watching it, then I was going to tell the dr. to stop, cause I know she wouldn't complain it hurt.
