I'm not the brightest smartest person in the world. Let me first say, it is not a good idea to do a piercing yourself. I know what I just did was stupid beyond words. Actually, it was very stupid, but I'm glad I did it. My mom would have most likely let me have it, but there is not a piercer that I've ever met, that would do a genital piercing on a 14 year old. So, that being said is why I was drove to do it myself.
At A Glance Author Brittney Contact Brittney@bme.anon When It just happened I was just sitting in my room. My best friend being the pouty spoiled brat she is, refused to call and/or talk to me. I'm the type of person that is bored a lot, and when I'm bored I will do almost anything. I'm the type of person that takes pain really well too. I'm 14 with 19 other piercings, but only 4 of those I did myself. My nipples was very easy to pierce, and I did not really feel them much, so what would make a new piercing so hard?
Being as bored as I was, I also had the strange urge for another piercing. I sat around for like an hour asking myself what piercing I wanted. Looking at Monroe piercings, and I thought "Nah, Not for me, I have enough on my face". I wanted something that would be special for me, that no one else needed to know about. So, I decided that a Genital piercing would be a nice change. I looked at almost every type of Female Genital piercings that there was. The clit piercing just didn't seem right for me. Nor did any of the other ones. Until, I saw the Christina piercing. It was amazing. It would go great with my anatomy. I sat down, looked up as much information that I could, and all the pictures I could find. It took me about an hour to finally decide that I would go through with it. I was not worried about the pain, so what was the big deal. It did not look like on of those piercings that I would easily mess up either. So with no reason not to do it, I was sure I could.
It may not be the smartest thing to self pierce, but I have some 12 gauge pre-packaged sterilized needles I ordered off Ebay, and some clean extra Jewelry lying around. I was not sure what kind of jewelry would work best, so I had a few different things placed out. I got ready, by first shaving. This was not a big deal, seeing that I shave every 4 days anyways. I cleaned the surface with hot water, and body wash. I got some paper towels ready, incase I was to start bleeding. I thought this piercing would bleed really bad, but it did not.
I opened the needle and jewelry, and sat it to the side. I pulled my favorite picture of a Christina piercing up. I pulled the picture up, not only to make sure I was piercing it right, but to keep me motivated. I took off my pants, and spread my legs. I took a blue marker, and marked where I wanted my piercing to be at. Then came the best feeling in the world. Right before I get pierced I get the feeling of wanting to back out, of wanting it all to be over with. This little rush of emotion is what makes piercings so special to me. I got the needle ready, and held it to myself. I took a deep breath, and let it out. Using the same idea I used when I pierced my nipples, I decided that I wouldn't push to hard. I pushed the needle a little bit, then just let it rest there. For some reason, it doesn't make a stinging feeling, it makes a dull one. Every second I would push just a little bit more, until I could feel the tip of the needle coming out of the other side. Then that was when I could feel it. Breaking through the other side, was the only part I could feel. Everything was tingling. It did not hurt, but it was unlike any other feeling. My legs went weak, and I just kept pushing. Finally it went through. It may have seemed much longer to me, but it only took about 25 or 30 seconds. Its not to deep or shallow. The place I put it, was perfect for a longer Navel ring to go through. After I got the jewelry through my new piercing, I went and cleaned it off. Its been about an hour. So far, it has not hurt, nor do I notice that its there. I hope that it does not reject, and I hope it does not start to hurt. I think this piercing will be my little secret, until I make sure that it stays. Unless my best friends boyfriend happens to see it first. Thats a story in its self tho.
That was how this piercing happy 14 year old got her Christina piercing. REMEMBER piercing yourself is stupid and unsafe. If you want the piercing, it is not that hard to go get it done. I have both sterilize jewelry and needles, but that does not make it a smart choice.
