Nipple Piercing Mississauga ON | We Offer Regular Discounts

A nipple piercing is when a small hole is made through the nipple so you can wear jewellery like a barbell or ring. It goes straight through the nipple (not the surrounding skin) using a sterile needle. We offer female nipple piercing, and our piercers are all women. This makes the experience more comfortable and respectful for our clients.

​

There are different types of nipple piercings, like single (just one nipple), double (both), or vertical and horizontal placements. You can wear simple barbells, curved bars, or nipple piercing rings once it’s healed. You can also style it with unique jewellery, like a heart nipple piercing, which is shaped like a heart but still uses a regular straight bar through the piercing.

​

Some people ask if it’s okay to wear things like a Skims nipple piercing bra after getting pierced. We recommend waiting until the piercing is fully healed and using soft, loose clothing that won’t rub or press too hard. A professional piercing means it’s done safely, in a clean place, by someone who knows what they’re doing, not at home with unsafe tools or jewellery.

Types of Nipple Piercings & Anatomy Considerations

​

The type of nipple piercing you get depends on your anatomy and how you want it to look. Everyone’s body is different, so our piercer will check the size, shape, and placement of your nipples before deciding what works best.

​

Here are the most common types of nipple piercings:

​

• Horizontal Piercing – This is the most popular style. The jewellery goes straight across from one side of the nipple to the other. It’s the easiest to heal and fits barbells or nipple piercing rings.

• Vertical Piercing – The needle goes from top to bottom. Not everyone’s anatomy can support this, so we’ll check first. It gives a slightly bolder look and often suits people with larger or flatter nipples.

• Double Piercing – This is when you pierce both nipples. Some people do both at once, while others come back later for the second.

• Diagonal Piercing- A diagonal piercing goes through the nipple at an angle, instead of straight across or up and down. This angled placement gives it a unique look that pairs well with other body art or piercings nearby. Because of the slanted entry and exit points, it may be slightly harder to heal due to uneven pressure and movement from clothing.

• Multiple Piercings (Cross or Stack)- Multiple piercings involve placing two or more piercings on the same nipple, usually in a cross or stacked pattern, like one horizontal and one vertical. This style needs enough tissue to support the extra jewellery, so not everyone is a candidate. When done safely, it creates a bold, layered look using barbells or rings that sit neatly above or across each other.​

​

Your nipple shape and how much tissue is present will help decide what’s safe. If the nipple is too flat or inverted, piercing may not be recommended. Our team will never pierce anything unsafe or high-risk.

How Long Does it Take for Nipple Piercings to Heal Completely?

​

Nipple piercing healing time is usually between 6 and 12 months. While the outside may look healed after a few weeks, the tissue inside takes much longer to fully recover. 

Everyone heals differently, but things like your aftercare habits, clothing pressure, and overall health can affect how fast your body heals. To avoid problems, always follow proper cleaning routines and avoid changing jewellery too early. Even if your piercing feels fine, give it the full time to heal before switching jewellery or skipping aftercare.

Nipple Piercing Aftercare Tips

​

Taking care of your piercing is the most important part of the healing process. After you get your nipple piercing, we explain how to keep it clean and safe.

​

• You’ll need to rinse the area twice a day using sterile saline solution or a piercing aftercare spray.

• Never use rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or scented soap; these can irritate your skin and delay healing.

• Avoid touching the jewellery with unwashed hands, and don’t twist or move it while it heals.

• Sleep in loose, breathable clothing to prevent rubbing or pressure.

• You should also change your bedsheets regularly and avoid tight bras or swimsuits.

• If you're active, wear a clean, soft cotton pad over the area for extra protection during workouts.

​

Stick to this simple aftercare routine until the piercing is fully healed. If you notice swelling, discolouration, or pus, contact our piercing studio immediately. Good aftercare lowers the risk of infection and helps your skin heal smoothly.

What is the Cost of Nipple Piercing?

​

The cost of nipple piercings depends on whether you’re getting one or both pierced. In most studios across Ontario, a single nipple piercing costs around CAD 45 to 65, while a double nipple piercing usually ranges from CAD 85 to 100. Prices vary based on the piercing studio, location, and jewellery choice.

At Xtremities, we keep it simple: every piercing includes high-quality jewellery, professional aftercare advice, and access to our 3-for-1 body piercings deal. This makes it easier and more affordable if you’re planning multiple piercings in one visit.

If you’re unsure whether to start with one side or go for both, our piercers can guide you based on your comfort, anatomy, and lifestyle. We never charge for questions; just come in and ask.

Nipple Piercing Jewellery

​

We use only safe, implant-grade jewellery for all body piercings.

Your initial nipple piercing will be fitted with a flat-back barbell-style stud made from titanium, surgical steel, or solid gold, materials trusted to prevent irritation and support healing.

Once fully healed, you can switch to nipple piercing rings, chains, or statement pieces that match your style. Whether you’re after subtle or bold, our piercing studio stocks options for every look.

We’ll help you choose the right size, shape, and metal for your anatomy, so you heal properly and stay comfortable from day one.
