after a year, if they no longer ooze--much--aren't usually sore, have no issues, and if there's a round, donut-like ring around the edges of the tunnel, you're pretty much healed.

Nipples can be deceiving though, because many people do find they lymph and crust a bit throughout the life of the piercings.

So I have 2 clean them twice a day 4 a whole year just 2 be safe?

no, healing happens in stages. There's an initial healing period, which for nipples is probably anywhere from 2-6 months, during which you should do sea salt soaks twice a day for as long as you can stand it. After that, just protect them, and keep them clean in the shower.

This assumes you are not having any particular issues with them. If they are acting up, get knocked around, etc.--you should keep on with stepped up aftercare during this period.

Also, remember that they tend to act up on a regular basis every month because of the menstrual cycle.

thanx so much speaking of the menstrual cycle it came the day after I got them done what should I look 4 during this time when the healing stage is over

I find mine tend to ooze a little more lymph. I just keep doing the sss. I've also noticed since piercing my nips, they aren't as tender as they used to be be during my cycle,but I'm sure everyone is different.
