At A Glance Author spoogysprouts Contact spoogysprouts@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Unknown Studio Rubin's Imports Location San Francisco, CA Like every teenage I badly wanted tattoos and piercing. I've done all of my ear and lip piercing myself (not a good idea) but have never ventured beyond that. One day I decide I wanted to go to a place that tattoos and pierces under age kids. So, I went and got a tattoo done across my lower belly. It cost me $120 an was done very sloppily. There are parts that the guy missed and areas that are blurry because the guy went too deep. Nonetheless, three weeks later I decided I wanted my nipples pierced. My friend went with me so he could get a tattoo done and his lip pierced. The guy sat me down and marked me nipples, then he asked me if I wanted to look in the mirror to see if it was what I wanted. The dots were really off and he had to do them over about three times. When I was finally satisfied with the marking he got out a needle, what really made me feel weird was when he put the needle on some Vaseline on his glove and walked out of the room. I'm I huge gremaphobe so him taking the needle out of the room really bothered me. He clamped my nipple way too hard and stood to my side when he pierced me. He even stopped halfway through the nipple an started again, which hurt like hell. The exact same was done with my other nipple. He charged me $55
I had had my nipple piercing for seven months until yesterday. In all those seven months my nipples gave me problems non stop. My right one was always sore and got infected quite often. It migrated a few weeks after I had it done which really scared me. The last thing I wanted was for a nipple piercing to reject. If it got bumped and slightly pulled it would become inflamed and stay that way for weeks. I had been contemplating taking them out and talked to other people who had their nipples pierced to see if this was normal. Looking in the mirror a few days after I put in barbells I noticed that my left piercing was incredibly crooked, and that my right was pierced at the bottom and ended at the top. So, I waited it out a few days thinking that I could just live with it, no biggie. Then, yesterday morning after getting out of the shower I noticed that the jewelry I had in before had left a kind of scar where it hang down. Now, I don't know if that is normal, but I can still see exactly where the old jewelry had been and it has been over a week.
And then it happened. My boyfriend got a little too carried away and yanked had on my right piercing. I didn't think much of it but damn it hurt. After awhile I went to see the damage and saw the it had ripped. The barbell wasn't torn completely out of the skin though, just a little tear. It scared me and I cleaned it up good and went on with the rest of the night. Later that night while I was talking to my sister she asked why I didn't just take them out if they were bothering me so bad. I must say, it may seem lame but I get very attached to my piercings. It took me six months to talk my self into taking out almost all of my ear piercings. So that was the last straw. I took out the nipple piercings last night and cleaned them up this morning.
I must say, I miss my dysfunctional nipples piercings a lot. The right will scar, that I am pretty sure of, but the left seems to be doing ok, other then being a little sore. I will never ever go to people who don't know what they are doing again. It just isn't worth it to get shitty work done in a shady place. Wait until you are old and then get your stuff done professionally. Go to people who know what they are doing and are good at it. I am going to let my nipple piercings heal up, then I'm going to wait six months until I am 18 and I am going to get them done by a professional.
I hope this helps people who have ever thought of going to this place. Or people who have thought of going somewhere that will tattoo and pierce you even though you are underage. Just don't do it. It isn't worth all the mess ups that they make. Keep your money and get your moneys worth when you are legal.
