I love my breasts! I didn't for a long time, because they were too large and "long". Well, what do should I expect, I am 41 and I've had two kids. I had tried the nipple piercing thing a long time ago but with the extra large size of them, it didn't heal well. It didn't look well and it didn't make them look any better. I took the CBRs out and let them heal up. I was extremely disappointed. I loved the way pierced nipples looked, but mine didn't look like that at all.

I decided to have a breast reduction last year. Finally, after so many years of absolutely HATING my tits, they were going "bye-bye". My surgery was 6 hours long, and my recovery was about 2 weeks. I didn't have that much pain, but if you could have seen my little "Franken-boobies", you would have felt sorry for me. Now I have cute little IBT's (itty bitty titties) that are perky and up where they belong. They are no longer the "hated ones", or the "enemy". I do have some pretty noticeable scars. But they're underneath the breast. With a bathing suit on, I don't think you could see them very well. My breasts are beautiful now! They deserved to be adored........ and DECORATED!

It's been a year and 4 months since the surgery. I figured I'm well healed and capable of healing a piercing now. I wondered if I would even feel it, since my nipples are still mostly numb. I do have some feeling, but not a lot. I called Atomic and made my appointment with Ralph. The next day, my daughter and I headed up there. (She's 19, and has her own piercing stories to tell.)

I've never met Ralph, but his reputation precedes him. My friend Jill has known him since he was a little kid. She says he's the BEST! We walked in to the parlor and there's this guy standing on the end of the counter. We begin the usual banter. "Can I help you?" "I'm here to get a piercing." "What do you want done?" "Nipples." "One or both?" "Both, of course." "Do you have an appointment?" "Yes" "You're LATE!" Then he smiled. Okay, his clock said 2 minutes past the hour. But, I think we got off on the right foot anyway. We both chuckled a bit. He pulled out some jewelry for me to look at. I had decided on barbells a long time ago. I had terrible luck with the CBRs previously. He said "Big balls or little balls....ahem." We won't go there. But, I did choose the smaller ones.

Ralph escorted us back to his "office" and started setting things up. I took of my shirt and handed it to my daughter. Next, he cleaned me all off with an antiseptic and made the marks. I was getting pretty nervous by now. I remember the first time I had it done. It hurt like HELL! I was worried! I laid back on the table and grabbed the edge as he clamped the right side first. He said "ready" and I said "do it!" The needle was through and it had only hurt a little bit! I was amazed! I could feel the tension draining from my body. This was going to be a cake-walk! The jewelry went in with no trouble and it was on to lefty!

He walked around the table and proceeded to get the left side ready. Now, I have had some pains in the left nipple so I know it has a little more sensation than the other side.
Does it EVER! He stabbed the needle through and I felt the fire straight through and it seemed to travel right down into my back. Then it was gone. Jewelry went in and I was through! I got up and checked out my new nipples in the mirror. I was ecstatic, but starting to feel a bit weird.

I thanked him very much, put my shirt back on and walked out the door. I walked fairly fast. I could already feel the blood rushing to my legs and my face getting whiter. I handed the keys to my daughter and said "Drive". I threw my ass into the passenger seat and flipped it down so I could recline a bit. I made it and nobody saw what a baby I am. Don't get me wrong, if the doctor asked me to hold the end of your leg, while he cuts it off, I have no problem with that. When something's happening to me, it's different. No idea why, but it makes me mad that it happens!

It's been two weeks. I've had very little lymph build up and it doesn't hurt at all. I'm following his aftercare instructions to a "T". Ralph is incredible. The best piercer I have ever been to. I'm thinking of doing my nostril next. You know where I'll be going!:)
