Nipple Jewelry

Traditionally, it is only the ears which are being pierced and adorned with jewelry but today, different parts of the body are also being pierced. Those who are into body piercing are usually the same people who are into tattoos – and the trend is also called body art. Now, aside from the ears, different parts of the body such as the navel, lips, eyebrows, tongue, nipples and even the cheeks are being pierced and adorned with corresponding body jewelry.

Due to the fact that some of the most sensitive parts of the body are being pierced as well, it is important to check whether the material used in the body jewelry that you will be using is hypoallergenic. For example, if you use metals like copper and nickel for a nipple ring – your body may have negative reactions to it. The ideal choose of material should be sterling steel, gold and titanium – a type of metal which is extremely hypoallergenic. If you choose gold as the material for your nipple jewelry, it should be at least 14K or 18K gold. These metals are high in quality, purity and they produce the least bit of reaction to the skin.

For those who are not too adventurous to try body piercing, you can still adorn your body with nipple jewelry which is non-piercing. Basically, a non-piercing nipple jewelry adheres to the skin with the use of clips or specialized magnets. The good thing about non-piercing body jewelry is that any type of material can be used, because this will not be in direct contact to a hole inside your skin – unlike with pierced body jewelry. No matter which type of body jewelry it is that you will be using – whether it is pierced or non-pieced, sporting nipple jewelry is just one of the many ways that you can express yourself with the use of these ancient metal adornments.
