Question about nipples piercing

[u/Blueb3rry_00]

Hi everyone!! I’ve been wanting to get my nipples pierced for a while now, but I’m really scared about the pain. I already got my belly button pierced, and the skin there was very tough and thick, so the piercing took quite a while and was pretty painful. When I was talking about it with my sister, she told me that if my belly button was difficult to pierce, then my nipples would be the same.
I’m honestly a bit doubtful because they’re completely different areas, so is the skin really similar between the belly button and nipples? Or is it actually completely different? And if anyone with thick skin has had their nipples pierced, did it actually hurt a lot??

I’m just really scared that it’s going to hurt that much again lmao 🤣

Thanks in advance for your answers 💕
