For awhile now I have wanted to get both of my nipples pierced. I ran into problems when I started looking for a reliable and clean piercer in my city who would do them for me.( I am 16) I looked relentlessly for awhile but didn't like any of the studios I found that would do them. So, after about a month of looking around I gave up. But, the universe being as odd as it is, I met a wonderful piercer, Valon, at a concert in my city. After discussing what I wanted with him I decided that I would let him do them.

So, we set a date, and moved the date back, because the jewelry hadn't come in. Then he went on vacation, and then the jewelry's threading was fucked up needless to say, I was getting very anxious about getting them done. After about a month and a half of scheduling conflicts we were both able to get together on a day where there was jewelry, and I had enough guts to go through with it.

For awhile I was weary that he didn't work in a studio, but after talking to him about why he doesn't want to, I was reassured. He also came with me when I got my Monroe and side labret done by my regular piercer, and helped me along the healing process, so I felt that he really knew what he was doing.

After school that day my trusted friend Sasha and I, wondered around the city till the time was right to find our way to Valon's house. My tummy was starting to get anxious but for some reason I didn't feel as frightened as when I normally get with piercings. I think perhaps it was the fact that I have wanted my nipples done for almost six months. I was so excited to finally be getting them done that there was no room for the nervousness in my head. In my pre piercing excitement I also read a lot of BME experience stories and knew, to a certain degree, what to expect.

When we finally arrived he we had to sterilize the jewelry in his autoclave, so we sat and watched cry baby for about 45 min. Finally when the jewelry was done we went to his room and I promptly became very nervous. I took off my top, he sterilized around my nipples and took awhile to make sure that the marks were even. I wet into the bathroom to look and see and make sure I liked where he placed the dots. I was very happy with the placement and quickly laid down.

I started to get very nervous, and came down with an uncontrollable giggle fit when Sasha remarked on my small boobs. After turning on some Tool and practicing a little deep breathing I calmed down and we proceeded with the clamps. I hate to look at clamping/see the needle so I was looking away and breathing deep when he clamped them, OW! I mistook clamping for piercing, and was very surprised that he would pierce without telling me when, but, after a second of shock, I figured out that he was still setting up. During the whole process Valon changed his gloves so much that Sasha started to joke about it, but the care he took with cross contamination techniques made me relax.

After getting the clamps on properly, and lining up, he told me that he would pierce on my second breath out, and asked if I was ready. I mumbled 'mmmhmm' (I have recently gotten into yoga so I remembered all the different breathing techniques we learnt, and began to do 'ocean breath') In, out, In, out. Ow? I was so surprised it was done! It hurt A LOT less than the clamps, and even hurt less than my double nostril piercings. Valon quickly changed in the jewelry and gave me a paper towel to compress on my nipple because I was bleeding (we pierced with a 10G needle and put in 12G jewelry, so it was to be expected)

Again, I lapsed into a giggle fit so we held off on the second one until I was done. Valon also went and got me some water to drink. After about 15-20 min I had calmed down enough, and readied myself once again to have my other nipple pierced.

So, after profusely changing gloves and making sure the marks were still ok, he started to clamp again. OW! It hurt more this time, possibly because my endorphins and adrenaline had been all used up, but I was stilling willing to go through with it. So after more deep ocean breaths, In, Out, In, Out. Oh lord, the second nipple hurt a lot more than the first. I barely made a noise the first time but for the second I couldn't restrain some 'ows.' Sasha was holding my hand and I gave her a squeeze, a small tear also escaped my eye. Needless to say, Valon changed in the jewelry very quickly and Sasha gave me a quick kiss on the cheek to make me feel better.

I laid down for maybe 15-20 min again, compressing both but being slightly shocked and happy that they both didn't hurt at least 3X more. After cleaning up his gloved and equipment Valon gave me some candies to raise my blood sugar levels, which was enjoyable, because candy is basically the best. After I felt that I could probably stand without getting a rush of blood to my head, I stood and looked at my new nipple adornments in the mirror. I was SO happy with them! I'm a really big evenness freak, and can usually see if things are even slightly uneven, so I was amazed to see that I couldn't find anything wrong with them! They were both level, and on the same position in my nipple. Seeing my piercings for the first time made me really giddy and happy, and I was very proud that I could go through with this supposedly very painful piercing, and still have such a wonderful time during it.

I Love my new nipple piercings so much. Getting them done was a lot less painful than I thought, there was only slight discomfort during the evening when I got them, and even now I can barely feel them! I went to the gym this morning and could do everything as usually except running. I suppose I shall have to avoid bouncy activities for awhile, but that's a small price to pay. Even taking a shower was fine, touching them for cleaning is a bit sore, but nothing major. I am still very surprised that they didn't hurt more, and that they aren't throbbing now.

I was very impressed by the experience of being pierced by Valon. I have had a lot of work done in studios, but this experience is my favorite so far, everything was clean, but it was easier to relax and I trust him more. I just can't get over how much I love my new nipple piercings!
