Girls, have you ever been out with a real jerk? A real prick that thinks he owns your body and all the rights to it? Now imagine you finally dump his ass, but he still won't go away. He still brags and boasts that he was the last one to see your body. In my case, this went on for about two months before I got fed up. I didn't want another physical relationship with "some guy" just to tell my ex that he was, in fact, the not the last person to see my intimate parts – partly because telling him would have resulted in violence. So, what could I do to reclaim my body for my own? I got pierced.
At A Glance Author Amarok Contact Amarok@bme.anon When A year ago Artist Stu Studio Otherside Location Belfast, UK I had wanted a genital piercing for about 2 years beforehand, but this same jerk didn't want to forgo sex for the duration of healing and didn't want another guy poking around down there. One day in work I was sitting at the computer, fuming at yet another dig by him regarding my body (which had nothing to bloody do with him at this point!), looking through BME and decided I would have a peek at the genital piercings. Not having any sort of membership at the time I was limited to the basic bare minimum ones, but it was enough to convince me! I wanted to change the landscape of my girlie bits to something he had never seen before. The decision was made; I was getting a genital piercing!
After hours of research on each type of piercing, thanks to Elayne Angel's website as well as BME, I settled on a Vertical Clit Hood. It was aesthetically pleasing as well as stimulating and there was less risk than a clitoral piercing. There was only one guy I'd trust to do it, and that was Stu at Otherside in Belfast. He'd done my industrial as well as one of my nipples before and I'd found him to be very professional and sterile, as well as friendly and funny. I picked a time when I knew I wouldn't be due my monthly cycle, got out some cash and headed in to Belfast. I knew from previous experience that Stu will not pierce any intimate body part without someone else present, even a woman's nipple, so the week before I asked a friend if she would come with me and she agreed. She already had her girlie bits pierced too so I knew she wouldn't freak out in the middle of the procedure!
When the day finally came I got my nerves and my cash together and headed into Belfast. I met up with my friend on the bus and we walked to Otherside chatting, she was very helpful in calming me down - I was starting to get the excited nerves I get just before a piercing. I was worried about the pain factor, but I just told myself I had an Industrial and had managed to heal that little fucker – so this would be a piece of cake! We went into the shop and I talked to Siobhan at the desk for a while, I had already done the Q-tip test on myself and found myself fine for a VHC. To my delight, she assured me he would be able to do it that day! However, since it was a Saturday there would be a 45-minute wait. No problem, time to go and get food! We went to the food court around the corner and I had a sandwich and a bottle of coke for nutrition (sandwich) and lots of energy (coke). Then it was time.
We went into the shop and Stu showed us through. I sat down on the bed and my friend settled herself in the chair beside me. Stu talked me through the procedure and showed me the disposable needle he was going to be using, and the jewellery that I had selected all sterilised. I dropped my jeans (loose ones of course!) and my pants and hopped back on the table. It was slightly embarrassing but Stu is excellent at putting you at your ease, so that went away and I just became nervous again. He used a marker to mark me and asked if I wanted to see, I just said "I trust you", I didn't really fancy walking around bare assed and besides, I did trust him. He went on to clamp me. That was VERY painful. Horrific would be another word. He ended up removing the clamps and using a receiving tube instead, assuring me this would be non-painful (why did he use the clamps in the first place!) and possibly more accurate. When the needle went through ... I nearly kneed Stu in the face! It was SO painful. Very intense, very hot, very SORE experience. But once the needle was in and the jewellery changed, it was fine! No pain walking at all. There was a little bit of bleeding during the healing, but that was it. I didn't walk like John Wayne and although I haven't had any surprises walking up the stairs, it has been very beneficial in bed ;)
I pulled my underwear and jeans up, stood up slowly and my friend handed me another drink of Coke and we walked out. I thanked Stu and Siobhan, Siobhan wanting to know what I thought of it. Afterwards, I was so proud! As I walked around town I was yelling inside "You can't see it but I've a secret in my pants!"
Healing was extremely quick, almost immediately I thought - but i didn't have a chance to test it out until 2 months after getting it done. I rinsed it every day in the shower using saline solution and it gave me no grief at all!
Now that my landscape has changed and I've reclaimed my body for my own, I can proudly say
I'VE GOT METAL IN MY PANTS!
