I have previously written about my vertical nipple piercings and decided it was time to add another one about my guiches. After the first PA was done and had been stretched to an 8 gauge CBR, the piercing bug hit again. Not having a computer at the time the only way that I could find out any information was by doing some footwork. One day, I noticed a sign from an upper story window advertising body piercing. After the not so pleasant experience at the place that did my PA, I decided to go into this one and find out more about the different types of piercings, she answered my questions and showed me some mags which I browsed through and ended up getting my first guiche after a few more visits, followed two weeks later with a naval piercing. The nipples were done and I sent the next while stretching the nine (4 lobes, 2 nipples, navel, PA and guiche) that I had.
At A Glance Author bcglider Contact bcglider@bme.anon IAM bcglider When Six months ago Artist Jody Studio NEXT! Body Piercing Tattoo and Aftercare Location Vancouver, BC The lady who had done my guiche and navel went to work at NEXT! www.nextbody.com/index.php and since I had built up a rapport with her, I followed her and the stretching and my questions continued there. Well, people come and people go, and she left NEXT!. In the meantime, I had gotten to know some of the other people that worked there, one of those was Jody. She had done some of my stretchings and I felt quite comfortable with her. After Jody had pierced me with a couple of frenums it was time to get serious and get another guiche or two done.
I had already ordered 6 gauge BB's to complete my horizontal nips and when they came in the guiches and the stretching would happen. Promised to be an interesting session, pierce, stretch, pierce and stretch. Before we started, Jody asked me if Nelinda, another one of NEXT!'s excellent piercers (who is the star in my first submission), could come in and watch the procedure. As I am not too shy with my pudgy body, and I had let Jody know beforehand that I didn't mind other people watching, I agreed and we all went into the back piercing room.
I got undressed from the waist done and unbuttoned my shirt while Jody got everything she needed ready, with two piercings and two stretchings to do it took a couple of minutes, Jody, as always was kind enough to hide the needles (I hate needles). When we were both ready, we discussed what we were about to do and the order in which to do them. Jody explained what she was doing and why and fielded questions. While she was doing the marking, I tried to OD on Lavender, love that stuff, all was ready and it was time to start.
The clamps had just the right pressure and the first one was on its way, breath in, breath out, repeat and pierce on the out breath. The jewelry used were a ¾ " and an 5/8 " CBR, both 12 gauge, the ¾ ended up chafing , so it was replaced with another 5/8 CBR, felt much better. Guiches, for me are not the easiest of piercings and I was counting on the endorphins kicking in while the first nipple was stretched. They almost did, the piercings went fine and as usual, the pain is momentary and the jewelry was in by my third breath. The stretchings were painless and actually behaved themselves, well one did, the left nipple left me in agony for about three weeks. Now it's all good and the verticals that were just done last months are doing well. As I am not a newbie when it comes to piercing, the aftercare part was just passed over, while I got dressed, Jody cleaned things up, and we all left the room as I overloaded on endorphins.
As mentioned before, people come people go, and the time came for Jody to leave NEXT! and to open her own place, Anatomic Adornments Inc. www.anatomicbody.com with another piercer named Syx. Now I have a choice of places to go for my piercings, YAY!!! Seeing that Nelinda is about ten ahead of Jody at this time, it's time for Jody to catch up, hehehe. A pubic will be next and then maybe a giant leap with a septum, need to have something to do while I take a break from the scrotal project, only twenty to go. Once the pubic is well healed, I will start my journey into the world of tattooing and have some pubic wings done and we'll see what happens then.
If you live in the Vancouver area, and want to get a piercing, I suggest that you try out Jody's new place. Only the place is new, Jody and Syx are two of the best piercers in this area and will continue be so for a long time. If you are middle aged, as I am, and not pierced somewhere, you are missing out. I love the looks I get from people when they find out what and where my piercings are, it's a thrill. When I get the pubic done, I will write about that as well, if you want to contact me, please feel free, I don't always get a chance to talk about piercing and enjoy the opportunity to do so.
