Yes: Pain and infection are the two biggest risks. Your skin is designed to protect you from infection. A permanent opening, like a piercing, can serve as a highway for bacterial infection. Also some people who have piercings in sensitive areas, like nipples, experience lasting pain in the area. Good luck with your decision.

YES !: Nipple Piercings have led to cellulitis & abscesses. The jewelry can snag against clothing with potential of traumatic tears to the nipple.
