Nipple Piercing by Sailor Sid Diller- 1980s. (Patreon)

During the first few months of the Covid-19 pandemic, we hosted weekly Zoom movie nights, digging up classic production documentary films from Charles Gatewood, Dan and Mark Jury, Royboy Cooper- films with a little polish; titles, soundtracks, proper editing.   As fun as they were, there's something charming about the home videos that Sailor Sid Diller shot. No frills, no production value, just a bunch of naked friends hanging out, breaking each other's balls (sometimes literally) and occasionally getting into a little body piercing.

This video comes from an early-to-mid 1980s VHS recording made at Sailor Sid's Ft. Lauderdale home/studio and features Sid performing a nipple piercing. The needles back then weren't as sharp as modern needles made specifically for the piercing community, so it's natural if you cringe a little when Sid has to twist it a little to get it through!

As with all archival videos- techniques in piercing and sterility have changed since this was filmed and it should not be considered a how-to or best practice.
