Ouch, Male Nipple Piercing
January 22nd, 2007 Pierced Ecto-manMale nipple piercing is very common. Male nipple piercing has many purposes. Male nipple piercing can be seen, found, or done at almost any rock concert, any type of x-game sport, and any piercing shop. Male nipple piercing can be done for pleasure, for pain, for sexual purposes, or just as a statement. With the big return of punk in the past few years, male nipple piercing is rearing its beautiful ugly presence once again, all over the place, from New York to London and beyond. Soon enough there will be more people with their nipples pierced than without.
Male nipple piercing is an abstract art form that has been around for many years, early on as a shock value tool used by Carney freaks. With the advent of punk in the seventies and the popularity of the Sex Pistols, nihilism took a firm hold of pop culture. Body piercing is by all means a very self denying nihilistic expression. Male nipple piercing in particular is an ode to pain. Male nipple piercing has enjoyed a rebirth. While body piercing was perpetuated by some of the music of the eighties, in particular some forms of heavy metal known as thrash metal or death metal, it did not enjoy the popularity that it enjoyed with the thoroughly self hating art form known as punk music. Thanks to bands like Nirvana and the birth of grunge in the early nineties, punk music has discovered a rebirth.
Today most bands with a rock influence have some traces of punk in their sound, from Blink 182 to My Chemical Romance to Fallout Boy, Punk is certainly holding sway over today’s popular forms of rock. Even rock that is much darker and harder, from gothic to emo, endorses the nihilistic self abating at form of body piercing, of which male nipple piercing is certainly part and parcel. Male nipple piercing is also a form of sexual expression.
Many people these days are into S&M, and are into much more painful forms of sex such as ball and cock torture. Male nipple piercing is not quite that harsh, but it does cause slight pain in a very touchy erogenous zone. Male nipple piercing is not difficult to do and there are many different types of jewelry to choose from, from simple studs to hoops and chains, but the most popular piece of jewelry worn is the clamp. The clamp goes through the nipple and applies gentle pressure to the nipple. Small hoops are also very popular.
Male nipple piercing is also very common in more tribal forms of peoples. In fact, if you look at the tribes of Africa, the Outback, New Zealand, etc., you will find that male nipple piercing and often female nipple piercing are considered a rite of passage or a religious rite of passage. Male nipple piercing is not very expensive, though there are of course expensive nipple rings and so forth. Nipple piercing itself should be done in a sterile environment by a seasoned professional, because an infection in such a fragile area can be quite painful. One should also be careful that their stud or nipple ring not be pulled or yanked out, as the entire nipple itself could very well be yanked off with the jewelry. Nipple piercing can be a bit dangerous.
