For months, my boyfriend of three years wanted me to get both of my nipples pierced. I was like, "No... Sorry... not gonna happen." Then, at work one day, I helped a man who had several piercings on his face and ears. I asked him about them, and he told me that he owned a small but accomplished piercing shop. Then, I started to explain to him about how my boyfriend wanted me to get my nipples pierced. His reply, "Well... I'm Benny, and if you ever want to have it done, just come by." And then he handed me his card.

I told my boyfriend about it, and after some chit-chatting, we decided to go see the piercing studio. When we walked in, I was very surprised to see how clean it was inside. I had thought that most piercing places weren't up to par, but I was wrong. Benny was sitting at the reception area, and he greeted me and my boyfriend very professionally. I started to feel more relaxed and more comfortable with the whole piercing idea. After showing us the piercing needles, which didn't scare me a bit, but really freaked out my boyfriend, I even felt better.

Maybe my brain was releasing a strange chemical, but at that moment, I said to my boyfriend, "Ok - I want to get my nipples pierced." The shock on his face made me laugh at him, then hug him, and then proceed to tell Benny in a secure voice my wish.

So, Benny pointed to a chair for me to sit myself in while he got all of his supplies out. He asked me what exact size I wanted, and since I was clued out, he said he'd pierce them with a 14 gauge CBR. At that point, I didn't care what he pierced them with, I just wanted to be over. When he seated himself beside me, he asked me to lift up my shirt. I felt a bit strange about doing this, and I think my boyfriend didn't seem to keen on it, but nevertheless, huh? I closed my eyes because I did not want to see it. My adrenaline at this point was soaring and I actually couldn't feel a thing! I opened my eyes when I heard my boyfriend say, "Oh bloody hell - I've never seen purple blood before!" and looked down to see a very dark, plum colored blood stream down slowly towards my belly button from both nipples.

The healing process took quite awhile for me. Benny told me that if I had any problems with them, I should call him. He said that no more 3 (I suppose an average from all of his other customers) with no or worse progress should be cared for. My nipples didn't go into a downhill progress, they just healed very slowly. The after pain was bad, but it was also a very strange, sensual feeling. After most of the healing had finished, the bruising feeling went away very fast, and at this point I was touchable completely all again by my boyfriend. The sex is even better because of the piercings, and that's what drove me to get my next piercing.

I went to Benny secretly without telling my boyfriend and asked him if it was possible that I could get my clit pierced. He said sure thing. And, I knew that my boyfriend would be away on a 2.5 week business trip. So, the day he left, I got my clit pierced. It was much different for me. This time, I watched as much as I could. I sat down on a bench-type seat, and removed my pants and underwear. Then, Benny came over and had chosen a piercing for me again - and I didn't really know or care at this point. I don't know exactly what he was touching, but he put this hard clamp around my clit. This was different than the first piercing because one, I had my eyes closed, and two, I honestly couldn't feel anything. Then, I remember seeing the needle and feeling it piercing through sending this lightning-bolt pain through my body. I know a screamed, but I don't know how loud.

After it was finished, I went home very carefully. I remember thinking that it was going to take years to heal, but to my surprise, it was shorter healing than the nipples. The second and third days hurt though, the a little bit of blood forming, but it just generally very sore.

When my boyfriend returned, I showed him the piercing, and by this time, the crust and the little blood that formed was little to none, and it was mainly just bruised. My boyfriend's first question was, "Benny touched you down there!" and after some talking, he piped down and then seemed very thrilled about it. Once it finally did heal, the first sex experience was incredible. My boyfriend had fun tonguing another piercing on my body, and then intercourse was the best. He got a standard apadravya piercing, and we've both been very happy since.
