I decided it was time for another piercing very randomly. It's something that I guess happens every spring for me. I get this feeling that it's time for change. I had been looking through the BME pages and came across the female clit hood piercing. It looked very neat. I decided what the hell! For me, new piercings are spiritual in themselves. I am a yoga teacher and believe that with every new piercing I gained some kind of awareness.
At A Glance Author CanadianKitten Contact CanadianKitten@bme.anon When A week ago Artist Jen Studio Adrenaline Location Montreal, Canada Originally, I had decided to go and do it elsewhere but it was a long ways away before I could go there. I would have had to wait about three weeks. Patience is not something that comes easy with me. When something pops in my mind, I'm fixated for the longest time! That is, until I do it! A couple of days later I was going out with some friends for coffee and decided that I was finally "hyped" to do it. I guess I had prepared myself from before going out to actually get it done, 'cause I brought a pantiliner and wore full-seated cotton panties (YUCK!). It was a very spontaneous feeling. I get these "daring" kind of moments sometimes. Despite all the constructive criticism I got from my friends NOT to do it, I figured what the hell. After my nipple, it can't be any worse. I dropped in to my usual piercing place without prior notice. Of all days, Jen, my piercer, happened not to be working. I was very disappointed but decided to make an appointment for the following day. Unfor tunately, that day none of my friends could come with me for moral support, so, I made the decision to go alone and it was probably the best decision I ever made. I've learned that "what the fuck" attitudes get people far in life! So, I filled out paperwork, went to the bathroom before (very important, LOL!) and then, Jen took her time to explain the procedure to me. Then took the time to answer any of my questions. Which I believe is VERY important. Then it was time to get the ball rolling. I told her that I wanted a horizontal one because I found them more to my taste and she told me that for this type of piercing, it was probably the best choice. She told me that vertical hood piercings tend to get annoying sometimes but the good thing about the horizontal one was that if I ever gets annoying, I could just flip it up.
And it begins... I took off my pants and panties lied down on the table with my legs dangling on either side. She looked at it to make sure no veins or blood vessels went through where she was going to pierce and then looked to see if it was an ok shape and size to support a cbr. Luckily, everything was fine and we proceeded with the disinfecting. We then chose a 14g cbr to begin with because Jen thought that any bigger is a lot of metal for an initial hood piercing and if I wanted a bigger one I could stretch it later. At this point, I began to get a little tense and nervous. Jen saw my legs shaking and told me to take some deep breaths. She then put on the clamps and adjusted their position. This was painless and not even uncomfortable (which was surprising because I am quite sensitive and because it was 5 days before my period was due, which makes me even more sensitive)! It was time to pierce. Jen asked if I was ready and I nodded. She told me to take a deep breath in an d then exhale. On the exhalation, she would pierce. In... Out! It wasn't that bad. But my endorphin rush was unbelievable! My face turned beet red and I felt high! Wow. Afterwards, I barely felt it was there. Not a lot of blood either.
This was a kind of spiritual rite of passage for me. I did something without needing my friends there and I experienced the most incredible "nirvana" from the piercing. It was intense. My piercing, now a week old, is really pretty! It feels good, almost like it's supposed to be there. I disinfect it twice a day with dovodine and sea salt (with warm water). After 2 weeks go by, I was told to disinfect every second or third day and then stop at 4 weeks. Sex is "forbidden" for the first 2 weeks. So, I haven't had sex with it yet but like Jen said, 'If you're doing it just for the sex, don't do it! Do it for yourself. ' I love my new horizontal hood piercing. I would do it again and am actually considering a vertical one and two inner labia piercings.
If you're thinking about it, just do it! It's worth every bit of poking and prodding!
