One day, when I was extremely hungover, I decided it would be a grand idea to get my clit hood pierced- vertically, of course. One hole is enough. I called my friend, Kyle, who I knew would come with me and hold my hand all the way. He had had a large gauge frenum at one point, so that made him the most experienced person on genital piercings that I knew.
At A Glance Author Dagny Contact Dagny@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Ryan Studio Strangecity Location Edmonton, AB Because I was so hungover, I wasn't worried or nervous at all... at first. We bussed down to Strangecity and Ryan was there as the piercer that day. He's funny, friendly, and makes you feel totally comfortable. I had already had my medusa and two 12g navel piercings done by him at this point. I had also had a number more done by the other lovely people at Strangecity.
About Strangecity- if you're looking for a great, clean place in Edmonton with friendly and experienced staff, Strangecity on Whyte Ave is the best place to go, I PROMISE. I first decided to check out Strangecity because it is walking distance from the University where I live and go to school, and I'm glad I did. I have had several piercings done there, as well as a gorgeous cover up tattoo by Sean (which came after my VCH). My friends that I've dragged along have also had numerous piercings, as well as some microdermals. Ryan also has a large scarification portfolio. Pretty well anything you want, they can do, and they have a great selection of jewelry for anything. If they don't have what you want, they'll order it for you.
After filling out the forms and all that jazz, I was taken to the back, which is very clean and organized and lovely, might I add. I asked Kyle to come with me to hold my hand and offer moral support. Ryan instructed that I sit (pants off, of course) on a sterile pad on what I'm going to call the doctor table. He was getting everything ready. He told me to lie back and basically straddle the table laying up so I wouldn't clamp my legs closed or whatnot. Then he started cleaning me off with cold stuff. It was a very weird feeling, and I couldn't stop giggling. I don't think I have ever had something pushed up under my hood before... it was different, haha.
As soon as he put the needle (which was 12g) up to me, I started panicking and breathing really fast. He told me to calm down, breathe, and that he would talk me through it. I was clinging to Kyle like a leech. Then he was pushing the needle through. I don't even think I was breathing... just clenching my teeth and squeezing Kyle's hand as hard as I could. It was the worst fucking pain I had ever fucking felt, to be quite blunt about it. So bad, I sat up automatically, like a reaction that I couldn't help... like when someone taps your knee. He was telling me not to move, so I held myself still, and he finished.
I was soooo happy it was over. It was the most painful piercing I'd ever had. He told me that there would be no more pain except for being painfully bored, as he always says, but he wasn't completely right. It was a tad uncomfortable, but nothing like before. I think I remember saying something along the lines of, "I can't believe I did that."
I slowly stood up. IT WAS PERFECT. GORGEOUS. I fell in love with it right then. I said, "Now I have a cute vagina." They kind of laughed. After about a minute of admiration, I put my pants back on, got cleaning instructions, paid, and left to wait for the bus.
Walking was interesting enough. I think I was more scared than anything, so I was walking like I had to take a shit. The bus ride back, however, felt REALLY great, haha. I'm not really sure how to describe it.
The piercing is definitely more fun right after you get it. I find it the same for nipple piercings, too, so it makes me think it has something to do with the soreness. I still love it, though, and I wouldn't take it out. It's so damn cute. It doesn't really make riding in cars, or walking up stairs, or anything like that much more fun, as lots of the stories suggest. Sex isn't really different at all, as lots of the stories suggest as well. I still can't cum from just fucking and it doesn't really rub against my clit (maybe I just need to change the jewelry, which I haven't yet). However, playing with or having someone play with the piercing definitely offers a very, very nice sensation that I definitely enjoy.
I've had this piercing for about a month... maybe more... now, and it is DEFINITELY worth the pain. According to many of the other stories I've read, some women have little to no pain. I had a lot, so it definitely varies from person to person.
