After having several other piercings done I had always honestly dreaded having my nipples pierced. I thought I was a little too modest for that. Well, that all flew out the window to say the least. My boyfriend and I are both into tattoo's and piercings. We both have several. He has more than I do, but it seems to have become an addictive experience. I knew my boyfriend would love it so much, and it would be such a HUGE surprise to him if I got my nipples pierced. I was terrified but we had both been going to his friend Amy to have things done and I felt comfortable with her. As comfortable as I could feel when I'm about to have my nipples pierced! I wanted it, more for him than me but I wanted it too... I was so scared.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When Six months ago Artist Amy Studio Skin Flicks Location Linthicum MD I made an excuse to go out one day and went to see Amy at the shop she works at. We had planned this to be a secret for him and just trying to work out when I could get over there for her to do it for me. I remember going in, I was shaking like a leaf. I was afraid of the pain. I'm a big baby. I felt weird about having a woman feeling me up and sticking needled into my nipples.. all and all a very weird experience for me. Hey..give me a break ok? I'm not quite that freaky.
The shop is pretty open so we went to the bathroom. Everything was very clean and the way it should be, and with lots and lots of nervous laughter and multiple facial expressions I finally relaxed enough for her to do it. If that what you want to call it. I'm sure she would have a different take on the whole thing. Poor Amy... So.. I'm standing there in the bathroom... waiting, and then OUCH... wholly crap... one down. I couldn't believe it. I was afraid to look, but she said it looked good and I took her word for it. I had to take a minute to collect myself before the other one but I knew it had to be fast or I wouldn't do it. I was standing there like... wow that hurt, but I can't go with just one! So, I sucked it up and then... OUCH! the other one. I was still afraid to look. She was taking an extra minute that made me nervous, evidently I'm just a bleeder but finally I looked in the mirror and I just couldn't believe it. I was so proud of myself for going through with it and couldn't wait to get home to show my boyfriend. He would never in a million years think I would do something like that. I sat at the shop for a few just to calm myself down a bit and then headed home. I came in like nothing special was going on. Carried in a couple shopping bags, came upstairs to where my boyfriend was laying down watching TV and sat down. We just talked a minute, then he asked what took so long and I said I had stopped in to see Amy, he immediatley perked up a bit as I've never gone to see her alone. He just looked at me funny. I stood up and said, I got you an "I love you gift". (our little saying) and lifted my shirt. He about hit the floor. I thought he was gonna cry, for real... he was so happy.
Only problem then was that he wouldn't leave them alone to heal. hahaha. It's been several months now.. I've gone through a couple different ways of keeping things clean and trying to get things to heal.
What I found in the end...just get in the shower, and let the warm water hit you and just carefully clean off the "crusties" that soften up and pretty much fall off in the shower. Make sure you have clean hands, don't let any crusties slide through, and just give it time. I'm still not 100% healed but it's almost there. it's never really been bad, just hard to wait to get the full enjoyment out of it while it heals. Wish that part would just go faster.
Still my boyfriend goes around and tells his friends, and whoever (it's a little embarassing) that he has the coolest girlfriend in the world because I got my nipples pierced for him and he loves it so much. And so do I. I was terrified and it took a long time to build up the nerve but I don't regret doing it. And the really bad part just lasts a minute. Really :-) Amy did a great job, like she's done on my other piercings she's done for me. And we definately made a lasting memory I'm sure.
