xTVRx was stretching his nipples using jewelry wrapped in PTFE tape and woke up in the morning with this terrible bubble of pus. Way too gross, so I put the picture after the break!!!

aaaaaaww fuck me, thats hideous….
**feels queezy**
Wooooooooooah!! That is fucking gross. Why would you let it get as bad as this???? I mean really, there’s no need for it.
fuck i was actually eating when i clicked on that,i should have known better surely that dosent happen overnight?
That’s amazingly awesome/disgusting.
I’d love to give that a squeeze.
Whoa. My problem nipple would occasionally get pus bubbles before I switched the jewelry, but never anything of quite that magnitude.
Have to say, I kind of want to pop it.
And sheldo- sometimes this does happen literally overnight. This probably isn’t a great choice of jewelry for him, though.
OH EM GEE…..
this is why having no nipples is better
Ewww I wanna pop it and get it overwith!
thats quite rank!
as an after though.t…that CANT happen over night? can it? surely there must have been some inkling thTat something wasn’t quite right?
oh god, oh god, oh god… i should have learned by now that if SHANNON says it’s gross then it’s probably REALLY gross. *cringes*
I love how looking at that made me feel hungry
mmmmm
shiiit
I’m a biologist, and I can unfortunately assure you that the human body can produce an immune reaction worse than this within a very short period of time (as in hours), so this guy could very easily have gone to sleep with a slightly tender (ie grumbly) nipple and woken up with this little shiner.
It’s quite incredible what the human body is capable of really: Pus is infact just an accumulation of dead phagocytes – white blood cells- that have absorbed as much pathogenic (foreign matter or dead self matter) as they can and then seek a way to the surface before dying.
It’s an incredibly efficient way of forcing ‘non-self’ material to the surface and out of the body; in other words this is the body on the first steps to rejecting a non-self item – in this case the PTFE tape wrapped jewellery. Most likely there was something on the PTFE that introduced infection into the body.
I feel for this guy, that must be hells sore.
i would totally pop that if i could
……….jesus
It’s wrong, but I want to pop that.
lol.
Is the use of PTFE tape a standard thing? Do other people do this with no ill effects?
yuck yuck yuck,
wanna pop now . . . yuck
I wondering if method of stretching would be wise, but uh, now, Im wondering if what i would do if my apadrayva looked like that. ugh.
Wow. Garbled Ingles, much?
poor guy!
Haha, cool :p
ow gross i didn’t read i all so i was expecting some genitalia ow gods i wish it was
I’ll post what I said when I saw it.
AND I QUOTE.
Ohhhhhh my god.
END QUOTE.
Oh man!
Ouch!!!!!!!!!!
holy shit. I had to spend a few minutes looking at it to figure out what was going on.
what the fuck is that?????????????????????????
Maybe this guy never hear of a taper. I’ve stretched my nips with tapers three times, it’s not that bad.
Aiiiieeeee why do i always click WHY DO I ALWAYS CLICK
I recommend NOT squeezing things like this, it will push the infection into the body. Instead get a hot wrung out towel and press it. The heat should let most of the pus drain.
Then go get your doctor too look at it, and see if you need anti-biotics.
And if you want to keep your nipple piercing, downsize, now.
Still, FUCK ME SIDEWAYS. Thats hideous 😀
why? WHY!? I was checking modblog right before my nipple stretch… well… NOW FUCK THAT! -holds boobies-
I have experienced a similar phoenomenon with previous generations of my nipple piercings before and whilst it’s never been quite this bad it’s always been unpleasant. I have never, however, used PTFE tape to stretch a nipple piercing and wouldn’t have thought that it is a sensible location in which to be using this technique. I know it is used commonly with stretching lobes and have seen it used in septums and lip plates before now, but nipples? I use plenty of nipple play to provide a constant stretch finished off with a taper…
This is one of the reasons I use bondage tape over teflon tape. It’s also not as dry!
Humina humina! D:
oww…i thought mine was bad…geeze…at first i thought there was some sort of tape wrapped around the ring
“Most likely there was something on the PTFE that introduced infection into the body.”
OR.
the fact that the way the way the tape was used is probably the culprit. lack of smooth surfaces. All the little nooks and crannies, that you can see clearly, caused by the fact the tape was wrapped around a fuckin’ cbr . Those nooks and crannies give dead cells, fluid, and, everybodies favorite, anaerobic bacteria a great place to mingle. smart move.
I wanna pop it! XD
That’s gotta hella itchy and sore though.
ive had lil bumps on my nips but nothing like that!
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
nuff said…i sorta wanna touch it…!
Than CAN happen overnight..
I got something similar to my 8 months old cartilage piercing(but i didn’t use any PTFE, i actually have the same surgical steel CBR)…in a week or so it returned to normality..
I can’t imagine that on my nipples…man it got to hurt!
Huh. I had smaller versions of the same thing for months with my nipple piercings when they were fresh. I tried switching jewelry, tried cleaning differently, nothing seemed to work. Didn’t really hurt, never got ‘infected’ per se, just got what looked like pimples at the exit points that had to be lanced regularly.
They eventually healed completely after I tapered to 10ga and switched from a CBR to a Ti BB.
Still, I don’t think that the PTFE was a wise choice for stetching this piercing, not at that gauge, and esp. not with a CBR/CBB.
REEEEETAAARRRRDD!!!!
(Or someone who is mentally incapable of handling a piercing properly)
I’ll second what several other people said – you think I’d know by now that if there is a ‘this is gross, keep that in mind before you click’ warning, that it’s there for a reason.
Fortunately, I’ve already finished dinner. For some strange reason, this pic makes me want a custard donut for desert…..
b-jesus! Sort that out!
Must… not… squeeze…
does the picture have to be so huge? i feel like his infected nipple is attacking me. lol
For those of you who are complaining he shouldnt have let it get to this point, please read the text that goes along with the photo.
I wanna pop/lance it soooo bad.
Dear lord, that’s disgusting.
But, like others, I want to pop it…
is it bad that the hairy nipples bother me more…
i really would just like to pop it…
