Today, I finally fulfilled my long time fantasy of getting my nipples pierced. I am 44 years old, single, and late in exploring my sensual self. I have yet to sew my wild oats. I was "always" the "good girl" doing what my family and society expected of me. During adolescence and early adulthood, I was very concerned about what my "church friends" would say about my interests in body piercing. Little did I know that my so-called "church friends" were *uck*ing each behind the lectern and in the church lounge before and after church. During my membership of 10 years there, 2 ministers had extra-marital affairs with church staff, divorced and left the church. The choir director had a little fling with every new single woman that joined the choir. My best friend had gotten pregnant twice and had two abortions by two different men that sat next to each other in the tenor section of the church choir. Now, that was a hoot! During church service, when I saw these two men set ting next to each not knowing that each of them had impregnated my friend, it always seemed strange to me. I was so naive.

After much thought and deliberation, and looking at the body piercing sample photos at this website, I decided to free my sensual self and know that I am a sexual being by letting both of my nipples pierced.

I have decided to explore Kama Sutra and Tanra exercises; the eroticism that surrounds this sexual practice totally intrigues me. I have always been attracted to the female breast. Adorning my wonderful, warm, smooth, supple, erect nipples with jewelry is a celebration of my womanhood. The whole event is a celebration! What a great experience.

How I found my piercing artist: My manicurist told me about a nurse that does permanent makeup (tattoos) on women that have experienced cancer and cannot grow eyebrows, or have other physical deformities. She worked at a plastic surgeon's office and also does tattooing on her own. I called her and asked if she did nipple piercing. She told me "no," but she knew of a professional body piercing clinician whom she had taken her teenage daughter see to have her navel piercing on her 16th birthday. I took the clinician's name and number and called. Farah Rose, owner and proprietor of Fara Rose Creations, is the clinician. Farah was VERY frank with me over the phone about what to expect when undergoing ANY body piercing experience. Basically she said, the nipple area is one of the most sensitive on anyone's body. Be sure you can endure pain. After getting the information . . . Farah told me to think it over before making an appointment.
I took Farah at her word and I wanted to see if I could endure the pain of having my nipples squeezed (I was told that a clamp had to be used to lay the nipple flat and allow the needle to go through) – so I took two of the large metal spring clips I use to I hold paper together and put them on my nipples to see if I could stand the pain. After they stayed on for five minutes without much pain, I knew that I could go through with the nipple piercing procedure. I made the appointment and went in today.

I HATE needles—moreover I had pain; and because I HATE needles which invoke the pain, I usually pass out. I explained this fact to Farah and told me that she only would do one nipple per visit due to my "delicate" sensitivity to pain. She measured location of the ring for the first breast, used a topical cleaned the areola and nipple shaft, being very careful to avoid hitting the milk ducts, put anesthetic on the area the numb the pain (per my request), and in 3.5 seconds, the first nipple was done. The needle only stung for a second!!!! I did not flinch or squeal in pain—I felt GREAT! Both the artist and I were SOOOO amazed that the procedure went so well.

Thereafter, Farah asked me how I was doing -- I felt fine. Because the first procedure went so well, I told her that I wanted to do my second breast. The second nipple was prepped as the same as the first. The second nipple was more sensitive and I did flinch, but I did not faint. Again, both of us were SOOOO amazed.

The feeling is kind of weird. I feel as if I have forceps dangling from my precious celebrated nipples. Sometimes it tingles, other times it hurts, pinches, etc.

The best advice Farah gave me is:
1) Don't "play" with the piercing with bare unwashed hands.
2) Use cotton pads in my bra to shield the nipples from unnecessary rubbing inside the bra cup.
3) Wash the ring and now the breast tissue with antibacterial soap.
4) Call Farah with follow-up visits.

I plan to visit my family physician to make sure all is well -- and that no infection sets in. I will tell them "don't ask and I won't tell."

As I stated in the beginning of my story I am the most "straight laced" person you might meet. This afternoon, the two friends I told are utterly stunned! One of my friends asked me "Are you going to go to a nudist camp or join some swinger's group?" I responded, "Maybe!"
