For a while now, I have been playing with the idea of getting a piercing done. As I'm going to go to school to become a farrier, I didn't want to go for a facial piercing, because of the dirt I'd get in it. Plus, I'm not so sure whether a lip piercing will look good on me. That's really the only facial piercing I would consider. I already had two fake nipple shields, you know, the kind you sort of clamp around the nipple. Those looked really good on me, so much I decided to get a real nipple piercing done.

As I said, I don't have any other piercings (apart from ear lobes which are technically not even piercings), so I really had no clue what to expect. Of course I've been browsing web sites for information, stories, pictures and even some video's about nipple piercings, but all I ended up with was a general idea of what to expect. Pretty scary.

About two weeks ago, I took the step to go to the piercing store where I wanted it done, the plan was to have it done right away. Of course I was nervous about it! So after I had been standing there, getting the nerves to go and have it done, i walked into the store. Turned out that the girl who does the piercings, was only there at mondays, wednesdays and fridays, and I was there at thursday. I made an appointment for next wednesday.

Almost a full week of nerves later.. I went back to the piercing store. I had to wait a bit for the girl who would pierce me to return, so the lady at the counter already filled me in about how to take care of the piercing and gave me the stuff to clean it. Then the piercer came back, and it was really going to happen! One silly thing I was nervous about, was taking my top and bra off. I'm not the slimmest, and didn't really fancy the idea of showing it all to a pretty looking woman. But that problem was solved easily, when the piercer turned out not to be size supermodel either. Silly as it seems, that comforted me a whole lot.

She led me into the room where I'd be pierced, it looked a lot like a dentists room, not so weird, it has to be just as clean and all. So I took my top and bra off, and had to stand straight, so she could see where to pierce. She draw two dots, and let me look in the mirror, if it was okay. It was, so I was told to lie down. The piercer cleaned my nipple/breast and started yapping about I don't know what. She put the clamp on, and said that would feel a bit uncomfortable. I was still wondering what was supposed to be that uncomfortable about it as I didn't think it hurt that much, at all, when I felt the needle go through. Because I was lying down I couldn't see what she was doing, it came as a bit of a surprise.

But the feeling.. It hurt, but it was also a sort of exciting, tingly, nice feeling. I remember going: oohoow! A bit embarrassing maybe, but I guess she's seen it all. Then she cut off the front of the needle, and then came the less pleasant part of the whole happening. It really hurt when she put the barbell through it, it hurt even more when she took the needle bit out again, that was horrible, luckily my boyfriend was there and I had his hand to squeeze. Then she cleaned it and I could have a look in the mirror.

The piercer first asked whether I wasn't dizzy or anything. I wasn't, I don't really get dizzy from anything. So I got up and took a look and totally loved my new piercing! It made my boob so pretty and sexy. I could've looked at it for hours. But of course I couldn't (yet), and she put a bandage on it and I could get dressed again. I left the piercing store with a big smile on my face, which didn't go away for long. That day I actually went shopping and ate out. I didn't expect me to be able to do that. In my fantasy, it would all be much worse that it actually was. I didn't have a lot of pain, could probably have gone sporting if I wanted to. Not sure if that would've been a good idea, but whatever.

When I got home, I had to take the bandage off. That was scary, it felt rather safe to have the bandage on, all was fine like that. It couldn't last, it needed to be cleaned too, of course. The piercing looked really ugly when I saw it at first, I got a little bit of a shock, for it was black and all. Then it hit me that that was just some dried blood. I cleaned it, which stung a bit because of the alcohol of course, but it looked a whole lot better after it. I had to go and look in the mirror about 10 times that evening.

It's three days later now, and I'm still happy. Sometimes it hurts a little, especially in the morning, as I tend to move a lot in my sleep. This morning there was some blood too, but not too bad. I have a very hard time not to touch and play with it, and so does my boyfriend. It's just.. so damn sexy and cute, I'm *very* happy with my piercing and I can't wait to have an other one done!
