Any tips for men attempting to hide nipple piercings? (self.asklemmy)

Thinking about having my nipples pierced. However, my main source of doubt is that it would be very visible when using a T-shirt...

Thoughts?

I've had my nipples pierced for a few decades. Don't bother trying to hide them because they don't really stand out. Depending on the jewelry you're wearing, of course. I wear simple captive bead rings and no one has ever noticed them through my clothing.

Happy to answer any questions about long-term nipple piercings, if anyone has questions.

They may have noticed but not pointed it out?

I definitely don't point and yell "pierced nipples!" whenever I see someone with pierced nipples. Seems rude?

Seems like they'd be pointed out all the time if they're pierced though.

I mean that's a fair guess, but I've had them for 20 years, so I would assume that family or my wife would have mentioned if they were noticable.

Got mine done in '97, and have the same results. I usually wear tshirts, nothing tight but nothing thick either. Everyone I HAVE shown them to was taken completely by surprise and had no idea. I have full rings, I've heard those generally stand out more than barbells, although pulling my shirt tight I can only barely see the lump for the ball so maybe if OP got hardware with really large balls they might be noticeable?
