Okay so my husband and I started talking about getting our piercing roughly about two months ago, but he is in the army and since he is gone again we thought that this would be the perfect opportunity for us to get pierced together yet separately. I have to be honest here and say that after having my tongue, nose, and belly button pierced all within two months of each other over five years ago that a piercing below the belt was not something I was keen about. I read all the stories on BME, I searched the web for days, and then I looked at what kind of a piercing would I really want? You see I am EXTREMELY sensitive there and do not need any help in that area. My sex drive is through the roof and as a couple we have never been happier. With that said my husband thought it would be hot for me to have some kind of a piercing down there.
At A Glance Author Jen Contact witchywoman1982@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist Chris Studio Shrap Metal Location Colorado Springs Last week I got a text message saying that he finally found a shop at his location that would actually do the piercing (he had decided on a frenum and since I don't have the equipment that he does I just agreed) and he would be going there on Saturday to check it out. I offered several times to get mine done and that he didn't have to get his frenum pierced if he didn't want to, I would still get my VCH. He assured me that this was something that he really wanted to do. My husband is nonchalant about everything and we have been tattooed every year together on our anniversary so I figured if he was that into it I would go for it lock stock and barrel because hey....it's a rarity for him so I'm game.
I finally decided on a VCH but after having several piercing in my cartilage and my tongue I was a little more than hesitant. The burning that follows a piercing was not my idea of a good time on my hood, or that strong sensation of pressure, the swelling, or that throbbing; it seemed like this would be my biggest challenge (you'll see later that I syked myself up for NOTHING!). Needless to say I got a phone call yesterday afternoon saying he was done! He had gotten himself pierced! I swore he was lying and just playing another joke on me but nope, I have the pictures to prove it! Well then I just felt like a woosie!
So I immediately called Shrap Metal. They were the shop that has been raved about for several different kinds of piercing here on BME, they were local and supposed to be amazing! Here's the kicker.....the piercing including jewelry was $10, yep you read that right $10!!!!! It cost my husband $90. They said that they were open from noon-8pm 7 days a week. They don't make appointments for piercing but I was welcome to stop by anytime. I found a sitter for my three young children (obviously I didn't want them to go with me) and proceeded to Shrap Metal today (Sunday).
I drove up to the shop and honestly I was a little worried. Okay I was scared shitless about the piercing; however, the store front is nothing impressive, but I figured everyone on here has raved about them and how professional they are so I'm going to give it a shot.
I got out of my car and I was shaking, not too noticeably but I was nervous and god did I have to pee again! Chris was outside smoking and asked me what he could do for me. I said was there for a piercing and he asked me to fill out one of the clip boards on the wall and take a seat he'd be in there in a minute. I walked inside, grabbed the clipboard and filled out all the paperwork in two seconds. I was so nervous I didn't even read it and I read legal documentation for a living!!!! I know better than to do that but whatever, I was going to get the piercing no matter what and my faith was in the people of this site so hell I was just going to go for it and throw caution to the wind!
I finished the paperwork as Chris was walking in. I wrote down on the paperwork that I wanted a Vertical Clitoral Hood piercing (or at least I think that's what I wrote honestly I don't remember). Chris took the paperwork, I paid him, we joked about stupid stuff, he had me feeling like he was my long lost big brother, and then we walked into the piercing room. I told him I was being a major pussy about it and that I wanted a 16guage barbell. He smiled and said it's not that bad, this is the easiest piercing and he all ready got a 16 gauge out for me.
Now really there were two reasons I wanted a 16guage: #1 I am an army wife, my husband has been in the service for over 20years and truly we are being moved to a coastal location, I didn't want to get into a swimsuit on the beach and have this noticed, the other wives wouldn't understand and the men would just be slapping him on the back. #2 I was being a wuss and figured that since a 16guage is so small it's not going to hurt that much.
So I looked at Chris, smiled nervously and said um do you have a restroom I can use? He laughed gently and told me it was around the corner and that he would get set up for me while I was gone and to take my time. I went to the restroom gave myself a pep-talk in the mirror and then out I came. When I walked out I saw that the empty waiting room had turned into a packed place that was hard to even maneuver through. I walked back into the room and the stirrups were up on the table waiting for me. Chris kind of looked at me like ready lady? I looked at him laughed and said are we ready? He laughed and said he's ready but am I good to go? I said yes and quickly took off my pants and my thong (I had worn one of my thicker one afraid of bleeding into my jeans). I hopped up on the table and assumed the position, ladies you know what I mean scoot your butt all the way down to the end of the table and then put one leg in each stirrup for maximum access. I let my legs fall open and he went to work.
I guess he cleaned me with alcohol (at least he told me he did and that it might burn), I honestly didn't feel it other than I knew he was touching me. He then said he was going to put the receiving tube in and that it might be uncomfortable (I was grabbing the table thinking to myself, dude don't tell me just do it!), again I felt nothing other than mild pressure and when I say mild I mean barely felt it at all. Then he told me to take a deep breath in and let it out slowly not even half a second after I started to let it out the needle went through. Now if you ladies are anything like me you want to know what it felt like. It felt like someone bit your clit! It was sharp and piercing, no throbbing, no burning, no aching, none of it and it was over as fast as it started. It caught me by surprise but I didn't shed a tear, I didn't yelp, I didn't even huff or puff. I jumped out of shock and anticipation but nothing else. I quickly realized that the needle was still in me and that the jewelry wasn't through yet so I needed to let my legs fall open and not move so that I didn't have to deal with a second piercing (you'll see why if you want to read about my nose). Chris put the jewelry in SO QUICKLY I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT!!!!!!!!! Well then I started laughing while I was getting dressed and I looked at Chris and told him he was amazing and that I couldn't thank him enough and that honestly I was really embarrassed because that was much ado about NOTHING!
I left quickly and immediately called my husband. He laughed as I relayed the entire story to him and asked if I was sore? To my surprise even now 7 hours later, there is no soreness, no sensitivity to touch, no pain and no bleeding. I honestly don't even know it's there. To top it all off I am wearing my tight hip hugger jeans and have gone to Wal-Mart, the bank, driven half way across town and walked all over the place, and continued to chase after the two dogs and my three little children (who are 9, 7, &5) for the rest of the day, so I have definitely not been easy on it. There is no pain or burning when I urinate there is nothing! What a pussy I was about freaking nothing! I can't WAIT to try it out. According to Chris all I need to do is wash it twice a day with antibacterial soap in the shower and let it heal which will be done in two weeks!!!! YAY ME! My husband is coming home for a week but not for another 24 days so I'll be ten days past my 14 day mark and I'm sooooooooooooo excited to try out the new toys we both have and I didn't even think that it would be that hot! Now the thought of it gets my blood pressure to rise slightly.
Ladies this is nothing to be afraid of, it hurts, it's a sharp extreme pinching feeling and it will be over with as soon as you feel it start and the lingering pain is non existent. Don't let the pain slow you down its amazing! I would do it all over again, although the thought of having it done again is not that appealing to me but hell it wasn't what I had expected and for that I am grateful! Honestly if you have questions my email is listed I'll be happy to answer them for you because I should have emailed someone and asked questions just so that my anxiety was less because now I am exhausted!
