message: This image is a good Photoshop job. However, the two pictures chosen to combine sex bing bijeaux homosexuality seine dommage aro milk absorbat male for American or thea noor, porno bague bijeaux transexuality poitrine dammage ard milk transpirator female for Germany or coffe dynamique the rail thin woman where her ribs are seen, and the large breasts of a healthy woman, were poorly chosen.  One can tell it is image-editing by the angle of the chest above the breasts.  Also suspicious is the lightness of the arms by the edge of the breasts where there should be shadow.  I'm going to find a better photo that is not edited.

message: This work doesn't suggest that some gay men pierced their nipples before straight celebrities embraced it.  On a documentary about piercing on MTV, a man said many people assume he's gay because his nipples are pierced.  Paul Rutherford, an openly gay singer of Frankie Goes to Hollywood posed with his pierce nipple in the early 1980s years before it became trendy in straight circles.  Is there a non-homophobic way to bring this up in this Wikipedia entry?  Maybe it's different in other countries, but I'd say gay men were doing it before others in the USA.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumley41 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Isn't it funny to look at the picture of a hairy (male, I suppose) nipple right besides the heading about breastfeeding?  This is only noticeable on big screens with small characters but what will the future generations will think of us as screen size will surely increase and human hair will maybe decrease, even disappear?  In a few years or centuries, wouldn't it be a little misleading?  Josie dethiers 09:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I came to this page wondering why anyone would want to get a nipple piecing. I can understand motives for almost all the others, but nipple piercings just seem pointless.  --24.239.174.223 23:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For the same reason people get any other piercing; some do it for the thrill, some do it because they think it looks good, and others do it because it's kinky. To find out more, please go to the body piercing page because I think they've got a nice section about the culture of piercings. --pIrish 02:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  But why? 

message: I came here looking for some history on nipple piercings such as Roman gaurds or... Victorian women... rumors? I don't know, perhaps a nipple piercing historian could stop by here and spruce it up.

thread_title:  History of nipple piercings? 

message: I have added 2 sections about that because it seems to be very special for this kind of piercing and often overlooked. Women not taking hormonal contraception have it relatively easy to recognise the effect - prolonged periods, irregular cycles or galactorhea can be signs of light/beginning hyperprolactinemia. Men (and women taking hormonal contraception) will typically not see any early warning signs.
Seems to be highly individual, YMMV. Some precautionary prolactin tests will not hurt. Richiez 09:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This all seems rather alarmist for a wikipedia entry on nipple piercings. Every piercing has its dangers but this entry is probably 50% warning about the possible medical problems that could arise. What are the percentages of people who end up with these symptoms, it almost feels like all people with this piercing are affected. Which can't be right. 65.14.229.26 11:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hormonal stimulation by nipple piercings 

message: The 'trivia' section mentions a small group of popular, mainstream artists, and their 'association' with nipple piercing. It is loosely accurate at best, and frankly seems to seek to validate said piercing by association. Surely there is more interesting trivia about nipple piercing, otherwise this section must be removed in its entirety.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.104.160.62 (talk) 10:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's possible for piercings to be set off at alarms, but it's not probable. You can read stories on the internet in forums and such where people have set off the alarms. While it's not likely, if the alarm's sensitivity is set too high, it could very well go off. I actually read a news article somewhat recently (within the last six months or so) where the alarms went off and a girl was asked to remove her piercings (a painful embarrassment as they had to use pliers and those forcing her to remove them snickered while she did it). She ended up suing the airline over it. So, no, definitely not an urban legend. --132 17:13, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

message: "Christina Aguilera had all her piercings removed, including her left nipple, keeping only her right nipple piercing."  She's had them all removed?  Or she's had all but one removed?  This sentence actually made my head hurt.--Jclaggett (talk) 09:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. It's the largest database for photos of this piercing. If you can find another, that is more free, then add it. Until then, the BMEZine link should remain. --132 04:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I reverted the recent change to the healing time for these piercings, as they went against the published paper from a reputable source. My edit summary was a little harsh, but it's still mostly true. Anything less than a medically published paper (or better) is going to be less reliable than what's already there. I will assume it was changed because you have to log in to the site to see the paper. Keep in mind though, that sources don't have to be readily accessible pages on internet. If it's in a book, peer-reviewed journal, or printed paper, it is still considered reliable, and often more reliable than the vast majority of online material.

message: I just wanted to add that Axl Rose also has or used to have a nipple piercing. I feel like he should not be left out of the "Popular Wearers" section.

message: You claim that the new picture would be "much better" - I don't see in which way. Such huge rings are just not a typical exemplar.--Lamilli (talk) 08:50, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Images must be functional at the size presented. In the case of the image you prefer, the piercings cannot be easily seen, which is why the previous image is preferable.  Please do not edit war. BMK (talk) 18:50, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't want to insist on the previous image. I can see your point that the piercing is hardly noticable in thumbnail view. Still, the image that was introduced by IP without explanatory statement features an atypical size of jewelry. I hope to find a compromise with you and propose that image with a clearly visible piercing of typical form and size. Other than that, I don't really see why you reverted the other changes.--Lamilli (talk) 11:02, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I have again removed the long lists of examples of people with these piercings. I have done this on two grounds: first, the sourcing was generally poor, with a mix of self-published, deprecated, and primary sources; second, there is no indication that the extensive list warrants inclusion. Please don't restore it without addressing these issues. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:22, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
