I got into piercings at a very early age. I have always loved them since i was a young boy. I have done tons of piercings to people. I am very well for the most part. I am always satisfied with my work. I just love the feeling of a job well done. I would hope to pursue a professional career in doing tattoo's and piercings. I will be attending an Apprenticeship at a local tattoo shop called Ink Wizard hopefully this upcoming year. I am now 15, I will be 16 in a few months. I live in Georgia.
At A Glance Author TacoOrgasm Contact TacoOrgasm@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Myself Studio bathroom Location Georgia Now, This piercing idea started from my girlfriend Jessica. Awhile ago she told me she wanted me to do hers, and she told me I should do mine too. So, I did it a few months after she had told me and forgot all about it. When I told her, she was pretty disappointed in me, but she claims to like it so i'm pleased. :]
Well, one day i was just sitting on my bed in my room pulling at the area where a naval piercing would be located. Now I have done every single one of my own piercings so far. I have 3 on each ear. the first one half inch second size 10 and third 14's. I am very experienced with piercings. I use only professional equipment. I don't use safety pins!
That day i was having a really bad day. I almost got in a fight with some stupid rednecks at school, so my adrenaline was just screaming for more. Anyone who's done a DIY piercing knows what I'm talking about.
Well.. I finally decided to do it, so i grabbed my little piercing kit and a pair of black dragon gloves and I headed to the bathroom.
I was so eager to pierce it that I didn't make any markings of where I wanted the needle to go. I didn't even clean the area..I just went to work.
I grabbed my a chunk of skin with my hand and pointed the needle up from inside of the belly button. I slowly stuck the needle in a little and waited for my adrenaline to kick in so I wouldn't feel it as much. The needle went straight in really fast. I was almost done. Now the part I hate most with every piercing. Getting out of the other side. I hesitated a little bit and started. The needle tip was now visible and I felt a very tense amount of pain. I built up the courage and slowly pushed the needles way through my flesh. It was all the way through.
Then after the piercing needle was through I went into somewhat of a state of shock. Everything began turning black and i became very weak. I thought i had hit a major vain or something and was slowly dying. I was terrified. I started shaking tremendously and became very ill, hanging over the toilet feeling like I was about to throw up. I became so weak I could not hang over the toilet anymore so I just sat there, sweating tremendously. I had found a styrofoam cup on the bathroom floor and gained some strength and filled it with sink water. I became better slowly. After i had regained my health I went back to work.
I had grabbed the needle and pushed its way through with the belly ring following it. Somehow, the needle had come completely out with the belly ring half way in. I had lost the hole. So painfully, I had begun searching for the end with the very blunt belly ring. About an hour had passed and i was exhausted. Then, I saw the belly ring. I could see it through a few thick layers of skin.
I grabbed the piercing needle and turned it upside down and used it as a receiving tube, and slowly pushed the blunt piece of surgical steel through my skin painfully.
The belly ring was finally through in about an hour or two. I looked in the mirror and i was extremely satisfied. I have had the piercing for roughly three days now and still love it.
Well, I hope you liked reading about my experience. I hope you learned something too! I know I did, I learned to take my time and to do all the preparation steps first. Now remember, I am not a professional but I have had practice and I used professional equipment. I would highly recommend not doing a DIY piercing without the proper equipment. You must know what you're doing or you could really injure yourself. If I were you, I would get your piercing done professionally. The pain is a million times worse doing it yourself. Believe me.
