Who would have thought that I would be the piercing type of person...? No one that I know of! Not even my best friends....which is one of the big reasons that I decided to get my nipples done. I know they're there and no one else does. It's my little way of expressing myself and stepping out of the box without impacting anyone else.
At A Glance Author court Contact court@bme.anon When It just happened Studio Skinquake Location Indiana Growing up, I've always been the shy one. My parents taught me to be very conservative and set high standards for me. If I had ever come home with a B on my report card...all hell would have broken loose. They encouraged me to do cheerleading and join the color guard and every club imaginable. Living up to their standard wasn't as easy as it sounds. It's not who I was. Being from a small town in the country wasn't supporting my cause. Even considering what I was unheard of.
So a couple of weeks ago my friends and I were talking about different types of piercings that we all wish we could get away with but would never actually go through with. Well after that conversation I couldn't get the idea of piercings out of my head. I came across this web site and started reading different experiences about different piercings and I really took an interest in this one.
Yesterday I decided if I was going to do it, then I needed to do it as soon as possible so that I wouldn't psych myself out. Needles aren't exactly my thing and I don't handle pain well at all! I know a lot of people say that, but of all people, believe me.
I walked in, asked the girl at the counter a few questions I had like whether I would still be able to breast feed when I had kids. Once she said that I could...that was it. I was going to do it.
My friend from high school, one of the few that is a lot like me, took me. (Now she wants her's done too, but thats another story) The girl numbed me, marked me, and told me to lie down. Then she pulled the needles out of the packaging and my adrenaline went crazy! I figured she would have used a clamp like they had on my navel, but no...she just used the needle. She told me to take slow, deep breaths, so I did. If you're as scared as I was and as inexperienced with piercings, breathing makes all the difference. Well it did for me at least. When I had my navel done, I tensed up pretty bad, forgot to breathe, and just about passed out.
I made a death grip on my friend's hand and decided to listen to the girl doing the piercings and took deep breaths. Surprisingly I experienced only the slightest sting, and it was over before I knew it and my friend was telling me how pretty it looked. I was afraid that if I looked though, that I would either hate it or freak myself out and not do the other one. So I kept my eyes closed and turned around so she could do the other one. It was just as easy and painless as the first one was! I got up and looked in the mirror and fell in love. They were definitely worth it!
When I mentioned that it was virtually painless, she told me that I was one of the lucky ones and that not everyone's experience is as pleasant. I guess some nipples are just meant to be pierced! Or at least that's what my boyfriend said even though he's still a little wishy washy with the idea of my having my nipples pierced, then again he hasn't seen them yet! I put my shirt and bra back on, which I thought was going to hurt pretty bad, but I think they were numb at that point.
After we left the parlor, I still couldn't even tell that they were there, but was still very protective of them just in case. Last night I went to a party with a group of friends from back home and never noticed them, despite the face that my friends are huge supporters of getting a running start just to hug someone. This morning when I washed them it burned pretty bad, but after I got the soap rinsed off and put my bra back on (I suggest a sports bra, I feel like they won't get caught as easily and it holds them in place better)it went back to the way they had felt before I washed them, nonexistent.
I highly recommend this piercing! It was a great experience and a great way of self expression that no one needs to know about!
