It all started about 4 years ago when I went with a friend of mine to "hold her hand" while she got her nipple pierced. From the time I saw her freshly pierced nipple with a shiny new toy... I knew I had to have one. Four years passed and I finally got up enough courage to go and get it done myself.
At A Glance Author Noodle Contact Noodle@bme.anon When A week ago Artist K Studio Skin Graffix Location Belleville, On Canada A friend of mine had said that she also wanted to get hers done, so we decided to do it that Friday night. As the days passed I started getting nervous... was it going to hurt as much as some people say it does? Can I handle it ? And most important... Why am I doing this? I thought about it for a bit and decided that I was doing it for myself. I wanted to be proud of my nipples, and I wanted them to have shiny new toys attached. When Friday came I found out she was much more nervous than I was. Going into the shop I was so busy getting her to calm down and telling her that it would be ok, that I forgot that I was nervous.
Now I have to say the shop we went to is spotless. The artist there is great, and could never make anyone feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He knows how to help ease the nerves and can pretty much get you thinking that he is not going to hurt you at all!
Anyways we get into the shop and he is just finishing a tattoo. When it was our turn he took us into the room, and we picked out our jewellery. We both went with 14 gauge CBR's. Now we had to decide who went first. I let my friend pick because I knew that I had seen it done before and that wasn't going to change my mind about getting it done. After a few minutes of her trying to pick she decided that she wanted to let me go first anyways. Now I knew there was no turning back, I was finally going to get it done! I got topless and he marked me up. At this time I still wasn't sure if I wanted one or both done so he just marked the one. I laid down on the table and closed my eyes not sure what to expect. I felt the clamps go on, and then a little pinch and before I knew it the jewellery was in and my nipple had a shiny new toy attached! He asked if I wanted to go ahead and do the other one but I declined...not because of the pain only because I wasn't sure how much of a pain the healing process would be and I at least wanted to have one good side! It was now my friends turn, she went through the same process as I did and got her shiny new toy too.
We got our stuff together went to the front and paid... he explained the aftercare and gave us a sheet. Told us if we had any problems or questions to call or come in and ask. And that no question was a stupid question so not to be afraid to ask anything! I must say again this guy is a professional. I was kinda nervous about having to undress in front of a practical stranger, but we both agreed that we felt very comfortable doing so. This guy knows what he is doing and he does it well.
Outside we were talking before we left and I knew right away that I was going to regret not getting my second one done at the same time. I felt no pain at all, it actually didn't feel any different from before. I couldn't tell I now had a metal ring going through my nipple.
After a few days had passed and I still had no pain.. I decided my right nipple really did look naked..(I had my left one done first) I needed to get it done too. So I went back that Tuesday... 4 days after the first one and got it done as well. I knew the process this time, and wasn't scared or nervous at all. I felt the needle go through a bit more this time and there was a bit more blood. Also right after I could feel it stinging a bit more than the first one. But overall it was a fairly easy piercing.
For anyone that has been thinking about doing it, but thinks it might be a pain, either the piercing itself or the aftercare... do it!!! you wont regret it at all. I had my tongue pierced a little over a year ago and let me tell you I would rather go and get 4 more nipples pierced before I went and got my tongue done again. The aftercare is way easier, and the pain is not as intense as you might think!!!
