Is EKG Done On Breast?

I have my nipples pierced and I have to get an ekg, my parents don't know about it because that's something id like to keep to myself but my question is will they be able to tell I have them when I'm getting it done and do they make you take your bra off?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Contact of skin is necessary.
2. You need not completely take of.
3. EKG is done below and around the breast area. Never on it. Breast is always covered.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
