Last Wednesday my boyfriend and I decided that since it started to look like spring, we would mission it downtown. I knew that I've always wanted to get my nipples pierced, but unfortunately I didn't really have the right opportunity to do so.
At A Glance Author elisa Contact nicole-elisa@hotmail.com When N/A Studio adrenaline tattoo's and piercing's Location toronto, ontario The reason that I wanted to get my nipples pierced so badly is because well, I do love piercings but I'm not so much of a flashy person that I'd want a bunch on my face(although this looks amazing on some people) it wouldn't really work for me. I'm a really small girl, I'm about 5 foot exactly and don't weigh more then 100 lbs, but I've always had large boobs. It sounds so weird saying this but I never ever liked them. Every time some guy was interested in me the first thing that would come to my mind would be that he was only interested because of my...novelty. I always tried to hide them under baggy sweaters and while most girls were telling me to flaunt it, I was constantly embarrassed. My boyfriend however, did help me to overcome my body image issues, and ever since he found out I wanted to get my nipples pierced, he has supported me.
Since most of the best piercing places happen to be around downtown, we decided that I'd get it done finally.
The first place that we went to happened to be the place that I got it at. There wasn't even a need to search anywhere further, because this place was grrreaaaatt! The environment of the whole shop was so chill and relaxed, not only was it a piercing and tattoo shop, but it also sold clothing and accessories. The clothes and everything were pretty sick too, and along with the accessories they sold a crap load of body jewelry. The staff there was SUPER FRIENDLY, and that was definitely something that I was interested in since I was pretty freaked out. The whole store made me feel a lot calmer about the whole piercing experience.
When we walked into the store I filled out my forms and waited for the piercer to call me into one of the back rooms. The back rooms were all very sanitary; it smelt very hospital like...which made me think of cleanliness, which is super duper. My boyfriend obviously came in to be my emotional support through this time of intense bravery haha. It's too bad that I forgot my piercers name, because he did a superb, professional job. First he cleaned up the area, and then marked the placement of the piercing. He asked me if I would like anything adjusted, but I told him I liked it just fine. He told me to take a deep breath and when I exhaled he quickly slid the needle into my nipple. By the time he had turned around to get the CBR, I was totally amazed, I DIDNT FEEL A PINCH!!! NOTHING AT ALL! Phew, what a relief. The thing is though, is that the reason I didn't get both nipples done was because I was scared that I wouldn't be able to even take the first one, but wow I felt pretty strong haha. After he slid the needle out and inserted the CBR and snapped the ball into place, he explained all about the aftercare. Overall I am so very impressed by this piercers work, I would recommend Adrenaline to anyone in the Toronto area who wants a piercing, the experience was totally amazing.
So far the piercing aftercare has been flawless. There was a tad bit of bleeding the first night, and this was only when the blood clots that had formed around the holes of the piercing were accidentally ripped off, so I had to be very careful with it. I thought perhaps sleeping would be a bit difficult, but it wasn't at all, in fact it felt really good to sleep on my tummy, it felt like it kind of held the piercing in place, I was scared to move it LOL. I pretty much kept my hands off it, but today I've been feeling a bit more courageous
Now I've had the piercing for a few days, and it's totally making me want to flaunt what I've got! It gave me a new found confidence boost that I really needed. It makes me feel pretty and seems like such a dirty little secret, it's so exciting! I know that the size of my bra will never change, but the piercing does make me feel better about them...I know right, how shallow does that sound...but for me it's the truth. I hope that if there are any girls out there reading this with a similar problem as me, that they find something that will give them more confidence, for me this just happened to be the piercing.
To anyone thinking about getting a nipple piercing, I say go ahead, take chances and do what you want!!! Don't let the initial fear slow you down, because the ending result is totally fabulous!!! I can't wait until this baby is fully healed, who knows what's going to be pierced in the future!!
