Piercing at home.

Me and my gf have been into some mutually agressive play, and we want to pierce each others nipples. Is this something we can safely do at home? I have looked at mail order equipment, is there sites that are safer than others, sterilization wise? Any one else have experience in this aspect?

Your local piercing shop can help you.
Yes, I understand they can do it. The whole fun of it is being the dom and doing it myself.
It's a bad idea to actually complete a piercing without medical training. I've had needles through a few bits of skin before, and while it's admittingly fun, it requires training and medical knowledge.
If you're gung-ho, I'd suggest at least 1) going to a class that addresses this (PM me if you need help finding) and 2) starting with less sensitive areas.
But really, bad idea if you don't have the know-how already. Big, big bad idea.
Even when you're buying new supplies, even if they come pre-sterilized, you still want to autoclave them before use.

Are you planning on keeping the piercing? Having it look good?
She is positive it will look terrible and not be a sexy experience.
Sterilization aside, you will also need a way to dispose of biohazard (bloody) needles. You would also want to autoclave the jewellery to be safe. You could also look into using MadaCide to sterilize, but an autoclave is best. Do you have any friends who work in tattoo shops?
Alternatively some medical grade chemicals can run the ballpark of a few hundred themselves when not bought in bulk.
Eh, I can attest that this is, indeed, a "sexy times" activity. Don't ask too many questions.
Permanent vs. temporary is a big question, as temporary is far safer.
Regardless, I don't think anyone here can answer the OP's question, if he takes me up on the PM I'll try to get him in contact with a professional.
There are body mod forums that may be able to help more, I'm uncomfortable publicly going into more detailed instruction
Any real professional is not going to tell someone with no training how to stick needles through themselves. Temporary or permanent. You really shouldn't facilitate this.
I feel comfortable. Far more comfortable than if I stonewalled the guy and he ended up ripping off his girlfriend's nipple. This sort of thing is further toward the "extreme" edges of play, but it's far from terribly risky. I'd rather he learn from a professional.
I'm not immensely comfortable saying much more than that this is far from uncommon, and there are resources out there.
I agree with TCO. This is something that can be done, and is done, by nonprofessionals. But it requires the proper equipment and preparation. (I wasn't joking about needing an autoclave.) He's right - there are people out there who will teach you how to do this safely and walk you through the first steps.

Exactly. We're all on the same page.
The guy isn't going to do a clavicle piercing or anything.
Promised. I don't want to ruin her perfect breasts, I just want to be the one who does it. I'm just looking for tips. PM sent to get in contact with a pro.
. . . but more seriously, it would help to get to know a local piercer, learn things from them when they tell stories about piercings gone wrong, the crazy people they have to deal with, good hygiene practices, etc. See if you can sit in on some piercings to see how it all works, try doing it first on some different kinds of meat as a test run (using the piercing kit you'll no doubt have bought from ebay or something) maybe move on to an ear or something as extra practice on a live (willing I'm assuming) partner. . .
My advice to you is to get some training, and no one on this forum is going to (nor should they) tell you to put a needle in some alcohol and go to town. This isn't her ear at a sleepover in 7th grade; it's a very sensitive area that I'm assuming you and she both care to keep very sensitive. Infection is a concern, but it's far from being the only one, and I can only recommend that you do every bit of research you can and if at all possible, get some proper training if you're serious about this.
later on, your sexy lady will want to be a mother. Don't deprive her of the ability to feed her child because it gets you both off - make sure you do it right, or don't.
Not sure a bad piercing can fuck up breast feeding (outside of an infection which even a good piercing can develop).
Technically, yes, but its illegal for couples to hit each other or have anal sex, but they end up doing that too.
Generally nobody gets in trouble for it unless the neighbors call the cops or its an exacerbating factor in some other crime.
I'd guess the license is to do it professionally.
My advice is to have this done by someone who is trained, and play with the result. Much more than that we can't give you here.
