Areolae is plural for areola, which is the colored skin around your nipple. Areolae can be extremely light or very dark (or in between). They can also be as small as dimes or as wide as dinner plates. It’s all normal!
Pluck or wax ‘em if you’re not a fan.
“It’s important for people to know — and especially people with smaller nipples — nipple piercing can result in permanent development in the area,” Angel says.
“My suggestion is that if you’ve pierced your nipples and you like them, you should never take the jewelry out unless you’re changing jewelry,” Angel says. “Even after being in for years, nipple piercings can close or shrink in moments.”
