Question:

To the helpful folks of rab:      Well, I finally got my left nipple pierced! I must admit, it hurt a lot less than I thought it would (I had the terrible urge to say "Boo! Hiss! Do- over! Do-over!" ), and the healing has thus far gone very, very well. Now, my question is this:      I want to start working out at Fitness Center U.S.A. on the Nautilus machines. That includes the Butterfly machine, which works the chest area. How long should I wait before hitting the machines? I’m almost at the three- week mark now.      Comments, suggestions, anecdotes, and general information would be greatly appreciated. — ______                    * David "Bealzebub" Beals *                   ::::/                Phone # 508-636-9025 / 508-636-4243   / "Nobody gets me.

i got both nipples pierced about 3.5 years ago–when i was working out on Nautilus (including the pec-deck/butterfly machine) and Universal machines on a 3 times/2 week schedule.  i don’t recall missing a workout. since you’re piercing is 3 weeks old, you’re ready for the gym–especially given that getting the piercing hurt less than expected.  in all honesty, i worried about sweat from stationary biking much more than anything else.

 I took a week away from karate to let mine heal…  I didn’t help my karate, but it didn’t hurt my peirce, don’t worry about the butterfly machine, but if your gym has a lapel grab machine….. Well depends on how much you want the sensation you seem to have missed out in with the original shot
