What clearance should there be either side of the nipple for a nipple piercing on a male if at all any?

The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

Is there difference in punch size in blanking and piercing?
Whether it is blanking or piercing, size of opening in sheet is governed by punch and size of cutout piece is governed by Die. So, for piercing, Punch size should be same as required hole size and clearance should be given on Die. For e.g for a hole size Dia 8, punch size should Be 8mm and die size 8 + clearance For Blanking, DIe size should be same as size of blank and clearance should be give on punch. So for a blank of Dia 8, die size is of 8mm and punch size is 8 - clearance.
Can you change a nipple ring on your own and how?
Yes, you can. During the initial healing period it is always best if you get your nipple ring changed by the piercer, but after your nipple piercing has healed completely, you can change it on your own, at will. Here's how: 1) Make sure that the new nipple ring which you intend to insert is disinfected properly. Cleaning it with some antibacterial soap often does the trick. In addition to the nipple ring, your hands as well as the nipple piercing should be cleaned thoroughly with antibacterial soap. 2) Now for removing the old nipple ring. You need to start by pressing your skin next to one hole of the nipple piercing. Keeping the skin pressed, you have to slowly remove the ring from the piercing bit by bit till it comes out completely. 3) The new nipple ring should be inserted in much the same way. You have to pinch your nipples to make the piercing visible and then put the ring into one hole. Slowly keep pushing the nipple ring further into the hole till you see it come out from the other hole. Once inserted fully, you simply need to close the ring or tighten any screws on the ring. If you are finding it a little difficult, you should oil your piercing and your new nipple ring with some water based lubricant before changing the nipple ring, as this will facilitate the process. Putting a hot compress on your skin or taking a hot shower just prior to changing your nipple ring also helps a lot as this makes your skin softer, which enables the nipple ring to be changed relatively easier. With practice, it will become very easy to change your nipple ring, and practice you will get aplenty. What with the thousands of varieties of nipple rings available nowadays, you might just end up changing your nipple ring very often. Hence the above advice is sure to come in handy, provided of course that you do have a nipple piercing!

Should a nipple piercing be directly in the center of the nipple or is it all right to have the piercing just below the center?
Male or Female it doesn't really matter too much. I like to stay centered as much a possible this allows the nipple to *enhance evenly without developing a droop, all nipples *enhance once they have been pierced ( * they get slightly bigger in diameter ). Some piercers think if you go just below center you can avoid damaging milk ducts in the case of female nipple piercings, this however doesn't matter, the body will clear a path for the ducts regardless of the piercing should lactation be needed.
Can you get a nipple piercing while pregnant?
Well, to answer your first query, NO you simply cannot get a nipple piercing if you are pregnant.

As a piercing can be very painful, not to mention rob you of your strength, you should avoid it during pregnancy.
