An inverted nipple is a normal variation in most people. It's a nipple that is "flat," that doesn't stick out.

What is a retracted nipple?

A retracted or inverted nipple is one that doesn't stick out or protrude past the level of the surrounding skin. If the nipple has always been this way, there is no cause for concern -- it's normal. If a nipple that used to protrude now is retracted, the finding could be a sign of a mass or tumor in the breast.

Can you get an innie nipple pierced?

An inverted or occluded nipple piercing needs to be done by an experienced professional body piercer who knows how to properly do an inverted nipple piercing. The technique is some what different from a standard nipple piercing, skill and knowledge needs to be used in order to correct the inversion. I have done many of these "repair" piercings with the end result being a proper outward displaying nipple. The inversion is partly due to the beast connective tissue and how the ducts and nipple connective tissue seems to be too short thus causing the nipple to be inverted. So find your self a body piercer who has at least 5 years of better of actual piercing experience or be prepared to travel to have it done correctly. Knowledge of human anatomy is a must to complete this piercing properly, but trust me once it's done right and healed you will be very pleased.
