My nipples are my favourite piercing because before piercing hit the mainstream hard nobody at school had they're nipples done or were proud enough to let people know. I already had the eyebrow like every other student had as well. Just having my nipples I felt original, now that I'm living the modified lifestyle more it's more common. (Don't let me sound like I'm really modified, I've had like fifth-teen piercings and one tattoo, but I'll always be getting more!) Back then thought that was big shit to have your nipples pierced and to be proud of it. But anyway to my story...
At A Glance Author mtnorgard Contact mtnorgard@bme.anon When It just happened Artist ME Studio Bathroom I decided to stretch my nipples last night to a eight gauge from a twelve gauge. There is some history behind my nipples, I got the first one, I think the right one. It was my fifth-teenth birthday and there was no thought involved we just sort of passed by a piercing studio where I got my first piercing, a eyebrow on the left side. Sadly I have lost this piercing and many others. I remember I had to get my grandmother to sign for me. The piercing itself was pretty nerve wracking because it was only my second piercing. I have heard horror stories about how bad the nipple hurts when you get it pierced. But all and all thing it was not that bad.
It was a couple of years before I got the left nipple done which was done at twelve because I stretched the other one from fourteen. I've have lived for a couple more years with both nipples at twelve gauge and a couple of days ago I notice that my nipples are starting to sag a bit.
After I saw that I figured that if they are going to sag might as well stretch them out a bit. I've never done a major stretching before, all my stretching were just well wore piercings that could easily accept a little jump from fourteen to twelve.
I swung by my local jewellery supplier and picked up a taper and some eight gauge rings and horseshoes. When I got home I checked out the taper that I bought and noticed it was more between eight gauge and six. I figured that it would be ok to stretch them a little more. I cleaned the bathroom to smell like a hospital and had a nice long hot shower.
I got out and set everything out on a dentist bib. Don't ask why a have things that I do. I took out my twelve gauge horseshoes and wanted to try the acrylic horseshoes that I picked up because they are lighter. I inserted the taper about have way which might be equal to twelve gauge, this is where the fun started.
I push slowly only to watch nothing happen with a lot a pain. With all my might and pain I could handle I pushed. Still I could only get about four - fifths of the taper though. Get a little pissed and light headed, I remember some KY lube I have (like I said don't ask) and I lubed up the stainless steel taper and pushed like a mofo and success it when all the way to the flat part of the taper. This was really ten folds more painful then getting them pierced. Quickly I rinsed off the lube and stuck on some O rings to hold it into place. I check my e mail and all the shit, to let the nipple stretch a little more. After I slipped in the acrylic horseshoe, which went in smoothly but hurt like a bitch, I repeated the process with my other nipple.
Today they feel like a fresh piercing but everything looks good. I really like how the horseshoes, they are now the largest gauge I have in my body. This was one experience I really liked because I always wanted something in the single digit gauges and now it's like having a new piercing.
I love how a new piercing hurts enough to remind you that you have it. Damn now I want a new hole in me. I think I'm going to stretch my Prince Albert with the same taper which I don't think will be as bad since its at ten gauge already.
I think if anybody is looking to stretch they're piercings, go one gauge at a time. Even better go see a professional.
