I have been thinking about getting my eighteenth piercing for a few months. I have already have seven holes in each ear and nape, belly button and right inner labia pierced. I researched many other piercings, but one did catch my eye.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When It just happened Artist Jen Studio Infinite Location Philadelphia The Christina seemed to be the most beautiful of the female genital piercings. It didn't take long before I realized this was the one for me. I researched the healing time and how it is done and it didn't seem that bad. The healing time was the same as the nape piercing so knew that I could handle it.
Three days ago I decided to finally get it done. I was really nervous. I knew the piercing was rare so I called the local shops and I found a piercer with experience in a shop with a good reputation. I went in and told the counter person that I wanted a Christina and asked for a consultation.
In order to get the Christina, the girl needs to have a specific vagina. I went in the back with the piercer. She looked at my vagina and after a little while she figured out that I needed a half inch barbell. She used a 12 gauge needle.
The balls that she was going to use were larger than I expected. She told me it was necessary because if they were any smaller it might sink into the hole. I left to eat before the piercing.
When I came back I sat in the chair. She put up the stirrups so that it would be easier for her. She marked me and had me check the marks. It was dead center. She cleaned the needle. It was great because she changed her gloves constantly. She didn't want to infect anything. It made me feel a lot better about the situation.
After all of the preparation, she finally pierced me. I was by far the most painful piercing I have ever had. When I thought it was over, it wasn't. I cannot even describe how it felt. There is nothing I could say to sugar coat it.
It is a highly vascular area so it bled a lot. More than the piercer or I expected. She cleaned up the piercing. I looked at it and it was perfect. It was right in the center and straight. It was beautiful. She put a gauze strip on it to soak up the blood and also to help with walking in pants.
She explained the soaking and the cleaning. She told me not to sleep on it, to try not to touch it or bump it. She basically said if it hurts stop. She also told me to wear sweatpants as often as possible.
Then I was done. I limped out of the room the room to tell my friend how it was and that I was ready to go home. It was sore right after it happened, but it didn't hurt that much. It took me a block to realize that walking wasn't really fun. It hurt to take long stride so I walked in short strides and in pain.
Luckily my friend was picking me up from the parlor but not for a while. I had to sit in a coffee shop waiting for him to show up. Sitting was uncomfortable; moving was uncomfortable, pretty much being awake was very uncomfortable. Thirty pain filled minutes later, he showed up. I felt every bump in the road. I went home and changed into sweat pants.
When you get a Christina, sweatpants will be you best friend, trust me. I spent the night laying around the house. I needed to be very careful when I got up or sat down. While changing I have to be very careful as well.
I thought that peeing would be a problem. Luckily it wasn't, I have had not problems. The problems that I have been having are accidently bumping it or moving to fast.
Over all it is not that bad. I do daily salt soaks; I keep it clean, I am extra careful in everything I do. I wear sweatpants because they are less painful than jeans. I wear a panty liner everyday, especially with jeans. It helps with rubbing and movement with the pants. I sleep on my back just in case. It is uncomfortable and I do not want to take the chance of pushing the ball into the hole.
Right now it is not red, there is no pus or bleeding and it looks great. It is tender and it hurts all of the time, but its not excruciating, just a little sting every now and then. I love it and I hope that it heals well.
I am glad that I got the piercing and I encourage others to get it.
