My friends that had been pierced always talked about having the "piercing bug", although I was intrigued by this I only had to look at what happened to my ears to doubt that this would happen to me. When I was eight I literally had to beg my mum to let me get my ears pierced (as she is very much against all piercings except one earring in each lobe) and finally she caved, but when ever I wore any type of jewellery in them they would go pussy and gross, so I was under the impression that this would happen with all piercing. Then one day, just after my sixteenth birthday I thought I'd do something crazy in spite of my mother and that turned out to be getting my tongue pierced. Of course she hated it, but this hatred seemed to fuel my desires to get more. I loved this piercing why couldn't she? So, I searched around for a new piercing.
At A Glance Author anonymous When A year ago Location Berkshire Seeing pictures of pierced nipples on bme didn't really enhance my enthusiasm for getting it done, but I thought it looked sexy and would be my little secret against my parents. The final straw came when I went to a family party during the summer holidays. My whole family was lecturing me about my tongue then my aunty came out with, "eww you got your tongue done? Well I suppose it could have been worse you could have got your nipple pierced" ... if only she new.
On returning to school I was adamant that I would get it done, but I didn't want to go it alone. My new sixth form timetable turned out to have a day where I only had two lessons, one in the morning and one in that afternoon leaving a whole four hours empty during the day to do what I wanted. So, as me and my friend Mike sat at school thinking of something to do, I mentioned that I wanted to get it done, and he turned round saying he wanted it to, so that was it and together we set off for town.
When I got my tongue done it was in a piercing place run by guys that were quite young, not inexperienced, just young and amazingly fit and I couldn't bear the thought of me getting my breast out to them so instead I opted for a slightly more expensive piercer but at least the guys there were older and for some reason this made me care less. I've never been confident about getting them out but sitting in their lovely large sterile white room filled me with excitement. The guy went through the whole after care regime etc and asked who'd go first. That's when I started to worry and made Mike go first just in case it really hurt or something so I had time to run out. Watching Mike getting it done was quite funny and I could have sworn a tear came to his eye which he denies, but before I new it the piercer had whipped on a new pair of gloves and ripping open the packet to a new piercing needle.
The feeling of the needle gliding through my flesh was pretty unpleasant especially when the needle kind of got stuck half way through as it hit something tough inside and I felt a soft popping sensation as it made its way through it, but the pain wasn't too intense and after a few seconds it was done and he had popped in the ball on the closure ring (how can they do that so easily?!). I was so proud that I had actually gone through with it that it didn't bother me that I had to put a bra back on over my tender new piercing and then later was on an old jittery bus throwing me two foot in the air every time it went over a speed bump, the piercing was awesome and that's all that mattered, and to top of the day I was back in time for chemistry ... great.
But I love my new piercing I've had it a year and its still my secret kinky revenge against my strict "no piercing" parents. My boyfriend loves it and everyone seems to think its cool as they don't have the guts to get it. People keep saying to me though that I should get the other one done, I think it would look nice but right now I'm quite content, plus I hear that getting the second one done hurts even more than the first and I don't think I'm quite prepared for that yet! But since then I've had my navel done. It seems now I have the piercing bug and cant wait to get something new :)
