reidgc 0 #1 July 18, 2012 I've had my nipples pierced for about a month now, but I am concerned about injuring the piercings during my tandem jump. I called the company that I booked with and they said just use bandaids to secure them. Does anyone have any experience or advice with this issue? Much appreciated.

milehigheric 0 #5 July 19, 2012 Under clothing I can't see anything that would hurt them. I made a jump recently with a very fresh half sleeve tattoo. It was still bleeding, but the weather was to good to miss. Im sure you would be right with a couple of non fresh peircings... If you are female we would require pictures just to be sure tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reid I have had one piercing for longer than i have been jumping. in 430ish jumps i have never even noticed it. This is the first time i've ever even thought about it. I cannot imagine, as long as i am wearing a sleeved shirt, that anything could happen other than it getting rubbed. I imagine if i was an attractive girl i might wear something sleeveless but I'm not, so i dont. I'd like to hear how the women mentioned by another poster lost hers.

FreeFallFiend 0 #11 July 19, 2012 Never had problems with mine. I've had rings and barbells. I prefer barbells as they offer even less of a snag profile but with that being said I am currently jumping one barbell and one ring because I am too lazy to go buy more jewelry. BASE jumping is a different story, for some reason climbing in my rig will loosen the end of the barbells and eventually they fall off. I've also had a hard opening pull at one before before but never rip it.Fiend I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark. - Thomas Hobbes.

Reid If you are concerned can't you just take it out for the jump? I wouldn't suggest it if they've only been done a month. Healing time is a few months for those IIRC (I don't have them done myself). They may not go back in well if you take them out yourself. Most jumpers I know with them dont worry about them for normal jumps. But I know for naked jumps they'll use larger bandaids to prevent problems, so if you're concerned I'd take that route too.

llloyd 0 #14 July 19, 2012 QuoteUnder clothing I can't see anything that would hurt them Recently saw a newly qualified jumper take a bit of a rough landing, get dragged a little and have the harness MLW pull across his chest and rip his nipple bar right out. He was wearing a t-shirt and jumpsuit. To the OP, I'd wear the plaster (uk speak for band aid) if you're worried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
