I have wanted for a few years now, to have my nipples pierced, but to be honest, I was afraid of what kind of impression it would give to my 9 year old daughter. You see, I was mistakenly under the belief that to be a good father, that I couldn't do certain things that I otherwise would. Well, recently, I have discovered, partially due to a divorce, that I can be both, a good father, and myself. So I did it.

The artists name is Paul and he was recommended by a couple of friends of mine that have been to him before. My friend had his nipples pierced twice, and he said that the first time he had them done, it was VERY painful, but that it was nothing with Paul. I trust him, so I decided that I was going to go to Paul no matter what. Well, it happened to be Paul's day off, so I would have to wait even longer. He was supposed to come in yesterday at 3, and I was nervously waiting. Well I went in at 5 and they said that he still wasn't there, and that he would be there at 6. I started to get even more nervous, and thought that maybe it was a sign that I shouldn't get it done. I knew that I would be pissed at myself if I didn't go through with it though. So I drove around for a while and went back about 6:15. Thank God, Paul was there. He walked out and I told him that my friends had recommended him and that I wanted to get my nipples pierced. He just said "OK", and started walking to the piercing area. Just "OK", like it was no big deal.
I was scared shitless at that point. Anyway, I followed him to the back and took off my shirt and he started getting ready. He was making small talk about my tattoos and asking how my friends were doing and when they were going to come back in. He was doing a great job of keeping my mind busy. Then, it was time. He told me to sit in the chair and lean back. He cleaned me with something that was BRIGHT RED. I guess it was iodine, but I am not sure. Then he marked both of my nipples with a pen and told me to lean back. At this point, I guess he could tell that I was really nervous. And he asked me, if I was ok. I said "Sure, I sweat like this all the time". He laughed and said that I had tattoos, and that I should be used to a little bit of pain. That is true, and tats don't bother me at all. But I told him, that I had been doing a lot of ready on this site, and had read everything from people saying that they didn't even feel it to it was the most excruciating pain that they had ever felt. But the one thing that they all had in common was that they were glad that they did it. I was willing to go through the pain go get what I wanted, but I wasn't really looking forward to it. So he started talking about my friends again, and got everything lined up and said "Ok, here is what I want you to do. Take 4 deep slow breaths and on the 4th one, I am going to go for it. I will count with you. One, Two," and then he pushed it through. I felt it, but it was really not bad at all. He said "doable?" And I said yes, very. It isn't anywhere near the discomfort of a tattoo. He slides the ring through and put the ball on and continued to talk to me, as he lined up the other side. He said, "Ok, now that you know it isn't bad we will really go on 4 this time, Ok"? I said ok, and he pushed it through. That one took my breath a little bit, because I wasn't expecting it at all. But it still wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. He slid the ring through and put on the second ball. I looked down, and they loo ked great!!! He had me sit there for a couple of more minutes while he cleaned up and threw everything away. Then he said that I could get up and put my shirt on, if I felt like it. I told him that I was fine, and that it wasn't at all what I expected. There wasn't even a drop of blood. Not a drop. Paul went over the aftercare instructions with me, and warned me about cleaning thoroughly after exercise, and we shook hands, and I left. It was a great experience, and I am VERY glad that I did it. I would do it again today. They are a little sore today, but still nothing like I thought. I should have done this, years ago. Don't hesitate. Go do it!!! You will love it.
