Okay, so after a while of investigating, doing a little research, the right frame of mind and the wrong comment made by a person I work with, I decided to take the plunge and get my nipples done.
At A Glance Author Ronin Contact Ronin@bme.anon When Six months ago Artist unknown name Studio body pleasure Location Geelong, Melbourne Originally what made me want to get pierced was I has just been through a rough time, and made a few major life decisions so wanted some sort of reminder. It was a choice between a tattoo and a piercing, and I was talking to a guy I was working with who had just turned 60, and he told me he had his nipples done about 12 months before and loved them. I was like WTF? I didn't believe him until he proved it by showing me. He has a pair of 12Ga stainless CBR's, and they looked awesome. He recommended a place to me a fair drive from where I live, but I didn't want these things to look crap, so I went and visited. I liked the joint, but didn't get anything done at the time.
I thought about it for a couple of weeks. My parents are against piercing, and I still wasn't 100% sure about it myself, I'd heard it hurt like hell.
The Friday before I got them done, a guy at work heard me and the 60YO talking about it, turns to me and tells me I don't have the balls to do it, you'll never get it done.
I don't like dares.
The next day I got up and went straight down to the place I had been to visit, and they hooked me up. I chose the jewelry, 14Ga titanium CBR's, went into the studio and away we went.
I'm a big boy, I have a fair amount of body fat, and I also lift weights. He marks both nipples out, checks that I like the positioning, and I lay down on the chair. He tries to do my left side first, clamps my nipple up, the pain was intense, but not bad, not until he loses the dot he just made and decided to move the clamp without releasing them, that hurt. I go white. After about 2 minutes of minute but painful movements, he finally gets the clamp to hold in place, this is when I get my first glimpse of the needle "YOU'RE GUNNA STICK THAT IN ME!" I tense up, and pull the dot out of the clamp. My fault, and we get ready to try again. I'm about ready to give up. I get up and walk around the studio, somewhat unsure of my willingness to proceed.
After a couple of minutes I talk myself back into getting them done, and sit my self back down in the chair, and we decide to try the right nipple with me sitting up. He places the clamp on my nipple, the first few attempts it didn't work, but after a little while it seems to hold (at this point the lady that works there had arrived and was helping hold the clamp). He counts to three... and FIRE FIRE FIRE! The pain was AWESOME! I look down, and see my nipple with a needle sticking out of it, yeah it hurt. I had to look away while he moved the needle through and replaced it with the CBR, but watched, a little nervously, as he clamped the ball into the ring. Having that clamp in that sort of position is almost a nerve racking as the needle. He then went back to the left nipple.
I was very uneasy about the left one, after the first attempt going sour, I was a little worried, but I'm sitting up, and I already had one in, no holding back now. On goes the clamp, and it seems to be holding. I look away, 1, 2, 3... FIRE FIRE FIRE! Theres that pain again! DAYAM! I look down to a familiar sight. A needle stickin out my tittie. He goes and grabs the CBR, moves the needle, and replaces the needle with the CBR. I watched this time. He places the ball in and clamps it closed.
It's been about 5 months since I got them done. I've had to replace the CBR's because I'm fairly active and they kept getting caught on stuff and hurting, now I've got a pair of blackline banana bars. They are really comfortable, my friend the 60YO really tried to talk me into getting straight bars, but I'm glad I didn't. The next step for me will be to stretch to 12Ga.
I've since discovered a whole new world. I have a habit after a few drinks of flashing my new toys a little, and have had various reactions, from that of repulsion, so chicks trying to jump me in bars. I've talked to random people out of nowhere cause they could tell I had piercing's. My father doesn't care much. My mother's reaction was great. I told her early one morning not long after she got out of bed, and sitting down with a coffee. I walked up next to her, told her I had something to tell her. She nearly passed out, she didn't know what to do. And to this day all I have to do to freak her out is to merely threaten to whip out my metal and she cringes. I love it. I can't remember what it was like without them, and I really wish I had got them done earlier. Tongue is next.
The guys at the studio did a good job in an adverse situation, the combination of my fat and muscle made it really difficult for them, but I'm more than happy with the end result. If I didn't have a hookup now for cheap work, id be going back to get my tongue done in a few weeks through them.
