I was in college. My parents are super-conservative. All through high school, I always heard, 'if you get a tattoo and piercing, I'll cut it out with my knife' from my dad. Well, I know I wanted a tattoo of piercing, so when I was at college, I went for it. I got my nipple pierced. I did my nipple because I wanted a piercing, but I wanted it to be hidden, and only seen if I wanted it seen. Makes sense right??
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When N/A Studio a place in college station, tx Location college station, tx Ok, so I dated this girl for a year and a half of college, and then she dumped me. It sucked, I was crushed, and needed something to pick me up, so I went for it, it was nipple piercing time. I only did one because I play guitar, and I didn't want my guitar strap to bother it, so I just did the right one.
Went to the studio on a Sunday, the one before Martin Luther King Day. It wasn't cold. The dude that greeted me seemed like a cool guy. He was about my age, covered in tattoos, but he made me feel pretty comfortable in there. He told me about it, about what I should expect, etc, and back we went.
He made me take a few breaths, and then there it went. A needle through my nipple!!!! Oh no. OK, so it was done. He put the ring in, 14 gauge if I remember correctly. I loved it, it was awesome looking. I was covered in sweat from being so nervous, but it wasn't half the pain that I had originally expected. It really wasn't bad, and to be quite honest, the pain I felt was a "good" pain. Cool, huh?
OK, so it was done, and then we went to develop the pictures and get the cleaning stuff at a drug store. It itched really bad, but didn't hurt at all. I thought that was weird.
The cleaning of the piercing for the first time kind of sucked, but I made it through. That was really the first time that I felt an uncomfortable pain. Cleaning it was never fun, but after a while, I just got used to it, and went on with life. I enjoyed having the nipple ring.
By far, the worst part about having it was no surfing and no sand volleyball for 6 weeks. That was the toughest thing. I was on the verge of regretting it because I love surfing and sand volleyball more than anything. And with the recent break up, I had way more time for surfing and volleyball both. That was no fun.
So after the 6 weeks passed, it was time for licking, volleyball and surfing. The chicks really liked it. WOOHOOO. The 1st time a chick licked it, I was like "WHOA". Good stuff. The funny thing was that I made a deal with a chick that if I let her lick mine, I got to lick hers. Not a bad deal huh? I thought it was a win-win situation for me.
I had it for over 2 ½ years before my parents found out about it. At that point, it didn't matter, I was out of college, and stuff. If they had known before, they would have quit paying for college. As much as I loved the nipple ring, I felt that them paying for college was far far far more important than a nipple ring. I hid it until I had to go in for a surgery, and the doctor asked if I had piercings, and my mom was there cause I was under her insurance at the time, and she had to be there for that stuff. So that's when mom found out. Dad found out when I told him. He hated the idea of me having it, but he just didn't really say much. I guess you pick your own battles huh? That's what my dad did.
I had always told myself that when I found a serious career, I'd take it out, that it was time to grow up. Well I got a job as a 'recreation supervisor' for a city. Well, the 1st week I was there, they told me I'd be teaching 6 weeks of swimming lessons to kids. I thought I'd have to be a decent example, so I went and got it taken out. A piece of me is missing now. I miss having it, I really do. But I made a deal with myself.
So now, no nipple ring, but I'm considering a tattoo or two. Maybe some stars, I really really like stars a lot. I was thinking some hollow stars on the back of each of my arms.
So that is my story of my nipple piercing, hope you enjoyed reading it, and it didn't bore you to tears.
