Nipple Piercing in Nairobi, Kenya

Healing time depends on your body, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. On average, a nipple piercing takes 6–8 weeks for the surface tissue to heal but can take 6–12 months for full internal healing. During this time, it’s important to avoid unnecessary trauma to the piercing (like friction from tight clothing or rough handling). At Tattoo Lust Studio, we guide you with a detailed aftercare plan to help you heal faster and avoid complications.

👉 For a smoother healing process, we recommend checking out our Piercing Aftercare Guide or visiting us at Emperor Plaza, Suite 411 for professional aftercare products.

Yes, but with caution. If you already have a nipple piercing and plan to breastfeed, you’ll need to remove the jewelry during feeding to avoid risks of choking or infection. Piercings themselves don’t stop milk flow, but they can sometimes cause slight scarring or blocked ducts if not properly healed. If you’re planning to have children soon, it may be better to get pierced after breastfeeding.

Absolutely—if you choose the right studio. The safety of your piercing depends on the piercer’s experience, the sterilization methods used, and the quality of jewelry. At Tattoo Lust Studio, we follow international hygiene standards, using only sterilized tools and medical-grade jewelry. Unfortunately, many unlicensed piercers in Nairobi operate in unsafe environments, which increases the risk of infections and scarring.

👉 Always prioritize safety over cheap deals. Book with Tattoo Lust Studio for a professional, hygienic experience.

For fresh piercings, straight barbells made of surgical steel or titanium are the safest choice. These metals are hypoallergenic and minimize the chances of irritation or rejection. Once fully healed, you can switch to stylish options like gold barbells, captive bead rings, or hoops.

✨ Pro tip: Avoid cheap jewelry from street vendors—it often contains nickel, which can trigger allergic reactions. At Tattoo Lust Studio, we stock only safe, high-quality jewelry for nipple piercings.

Yes, nipple piercings can close up surprisingly fast. In the early healing stage, the hole may close within hours or days if jewelry is removed. Even fully healed piercings can shrink over time without jewelry. If you’re considering removing yours temporarily (e.g., for medical reasons), we recommend using a retainer to keep the hole open.

Yes—but the effect varies from person to person. Some people experience increased sensitivity and heightened sensation, while others may notice a slight decrease. It often depends on individual nerve responses and jewelry placement. Most of our clients in Nairobi report a boost in body confidence and a more positive relationship with their bodies after piercing.

Not right away. Public pools, lakes, rivers, and even the ocean contain bacteria that can cause infections in fresh piercings. We recommend avoiding swimming until your nipple piercing is fully healed, which may take several months. If you must swim during the healing stage, cover the area with a waterproof dressing and clean thoroughly afterward with saline solution.
