I will grant you the Pixiv tag issue even though Pixiv users aren't nearly as comprehensive or accurate about tags as we Danbooru users are.

However, the puffy parts of the breasts in question are NOT nipples. They are aureola. The nipples are inverted inside them. Therefore these are aureola piercings and require a new aureola_piercing tag. You can see how Nagase Haruhito draws nipples and nipple piercings in post #457511. That post still requires an aureola_piercing tag, however, because while Faris' nipples are pierced with a needle, her aureola are still pierced with the Haruhito standard large rings.

I'm going to edit aureola_piercing back into these posts, because that's what they are.

My argument is that they're puffy nipples, not areolae, and needing an "aureola_piercing" makes searching for the visual more convoluted than it needs to be.

Thoughts?

I'd say that they could potentially warrant their own unique tag, but I'd still say they'd need to implicate nipple_piercing.

Judging from the appearance, I'd have to agree that it doesn't pierce the nipple but the areola. You can clearly see the nipple sticking out and in this case is separately pierced itself. This can be seen in post #457511 on the girl in the left, as well as post #458646. In comparing with the images under puffy_nipples nipple_piercing, it is clear in my mind that that they don't match, as all the other nipple piercings clearly show piercing the nipple.

One concern though is that all these images are done by one artist, and if no other artist has drawn such a thing, then I don't see why one couldn't simply do a nagase_haruhito nipple_piercing search for this specific kind of piercing.

Because while the work of one artist is being used as an example in this discussion, it stands to reason that there are other drawings by other artists with similar themes that have not been tagged as such. I haven't bothered looking: I just saw an aspect of Haruhito's drawings that had been mistagged and corrected it, sparking this dicussion.

That entire comment was retarded tbh. ARTISTS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DREW.

Pixiv tags suck. Artists there frequently mistag or undertag their images. So yeah, given the unlikelihood that the aureolas were pierced while the women were wearing pasties (because that's the only way the artwork makes sense, if they're supposed to be pasties) it's not a stretch to believe the coverings to be a form of paint applied after the piercing, not fabric applied before the piercing.

An actual nipple piercing is done through the base of the erect part of the nipple, piercing through the areola looks funky and can lead up to complications later on in life.

Bit of piercing information aside, Haruhito does know his anatomy. Some of his pictures include double piercings with both a (correct) nipple piercing and an areola piercing. As for the tag, I don't think it's necessary with only one artist illustrating that weird kink.
