I never really thought about getting my nipple done before, until the day I got it done. I'm not very outgoing and my boobs are really small so the thought of taking my shirt and bra off for a piercer I have been to many times before didn't seem very thrilling.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact dazed_N_cnfused85@yahoo.com When It just happened Artist steve Studio Barbella Location fountain valley, ca I had just gotten my paycheck and my friend asked me to go to Barbella (the piercing store) with her. I think the piercer is really cute so of course I said yes. When we got there we did the whole small talk and then Steve (the piercer) asked what he could do for us. She said she wanted a custom industrial and explained it to him. We went in the back and he got ready. He then asked me if I was getting anything done and I told him no because my mom got mad at me for getting my tattoo, my nose, and my tongue done. So he went on with doing the industrial.
The girl before us had just got her nipple done and I thought I would ask questions. I asked if it hurt and he promised me it that it hurt only for a second and then it was over. Then I asked how much and he said $29 each. Steve (the piercer) then said, "Hey if you get you nipple pierced your mom won't know." I just stuck the thought in the back of my head and when he was done we paid him then left.
After that we went to a friend's house and joked around saying I got it done... which made me really want to get it. I made up my mind and decided that I really wanted it done. I didn't know if I wanted to go to Barbella because I had been there so much that Steve was pretty much like a friend. So we were going to go to where I got my tongue pierced. But then I realized that Sick Dawgs (where I got my tongue pierced and my friend got her eyebrow pierced) wasn't very sanitary and they were kind of pricks. I then decided for sure that it was going to Barbella or nothing because I didn't want my nipple to get infected and I knew that Barbella was a very friendly and sanitary place.
When we got there, this is our second time that day being there, so Steve just stood there and shook his head and laughed. He knew what I wanted and asked me to pick out the jewelry. He gave me the selection and papers to sign and I stalled for time while picking out the jewelry because I was nervous about taking my shirt off. I finally agreed on one and he took it into the back and closed the curtains and got ready. I was so nervous because I wasn't sure what I was in for because I had never met anyone with his or her nipple pierced or eve read about it. He then called me back and my friend and I went and sat down. He teased with me about taking off my shirt and bra because he knew that's what I was nervous about I finally took it off and just sat there uncomfortably. He tried to make me feel better by complimenting my boobs and since I liked, him it worked.
He cleaned the nipple, and then told me to take a deep breath. "The clamp always hurts the worst," he says. Yet the clamp didn't hurt at all. And then, HOLY SHIT! There goes the needle. It was worse than my nose and tongue put together not nearly as bad as my tattoo. I guess it didn't hurt that bad I just wasn't ready for it because before I got my nose, tongue, and tattoo I read a lot but this was just random. The pain didn't last long, just a second like he had promised. He then cleaned off the blood and put in the ring. After he tightened it with the ball he gave me a mirror, I looked and it was like love at first site!
I got dressed and that's when it started throbbing. It felt like someone was biting my nipple and just wouldn't let go. On the way home I took off the bra because the pain was annoying and unbearable. People driving next to us were watching me and laughing because I was cupping my boob so that my shirt didn't touch it. There was a throbbing pain in my nipple for about 2 hours and then after that it just went numb.
Now that I think back, it wasn't that bad. I guess I was just shocked. Actually, the hardest part was taking off my shirt and bra. I'm thinking about getting the other one pierced but I kind of like just having one. Even though it was embarrassing sitting there with my shirt off, I'm really glad I decided to go to Barbella. I don't think I would have been able to go to someone I didn't trust.
