If you are not pregnant, then it is not colostrum - it is "nipple discharge."
Nipple discharge is one of the more common reasons that women go to see their gynecologists, and can be caused by many different things. Some harmless, some not. It is important, therefore - to see your doctor, particularly if it becomes discolored (yellow, green, or bloody).

Can you leak colostrum from getting your nipple pierced?
Well you need to be lactating to generate colostrum (not actually pregnant). It's called the let down reflex and it is just that a "reflex".

Actual leaking from the piercing all depends on the placement of the piercings, the gauge and the type of jewellery (rings or barbells). Leakage will generally only occur when the breast is manipulated with a fair amount of force or if the breasts haven't been expressed in some time if you are lactating. The pressure applied to the breast can build up some fluid pressure and cause leakage. However during normal breast feeding the nature drawing action should cause no leakage at the piercing points.
