Across the board, piercers agreed that clients should choose safe, implant-grade jewellery for their piercings. According to Anna Beall, a body piercer at CowPök in Buffalo, NY, "If you have a heavier breast tissue, you definitely want to go for something that's a little bit thicker so that it kind of stabilises the piercing channel and it doesn't tear as much on the sides."
