Since I had to take my nipple rings out for healing purposes, I decided I needed another piercing to quell my desire for needles so I could wait long enough to get them repierced.
At A Glance Author Jessica IAM patience When Three months ago Artist Sid Studio West Lafayette Tattoo Emporium Location West Lafayette, IN I have been fascinated with piercings and tattoos in general for a long time, but have shied away from noticeable facial holes and ink for job-related reasons. Since I have started visiting BME, the genital piercings have intrigued me, but upon closer inspection, I realized that I am not built for most of them. My clit is extremely small, as well as my hood. My labia could be pierced, but I don't necessarily like the looks of that. When I first saw a picture of a triangle, I thought "No way, that's way too deep for a needle to go down there!" But after reading a bit about them and their placement, I decided it would be beneficial AND pretty for me to get a big chunk of metal shoved right behind my clit. I've never been that sensitive and I figured that any stimulation from a lesser-used area of the clit would be pleasant and more than welcome.
The only reason it took so long for me to actually get poked after I had decided I wanted it, about a year altogether, was the lack of funds. My best friend Brian finally said he'd pay for it just so I'd stop bitching, so I called my friend Mel and we all decided to go that very same night.
I drove the 2 hours to my favorite piercing place where I knew that all the jewelry and all the piercings were quality as both Mel and Brian had lots of piercings performed by Sid. I had asked him about how comfortable he was with doing a triangle piercing before and he said he knew a lot and demonstrated his knowledge by knowing the answers and replies to all the questions I had to ask. At first I was apprehensive about letting anyone do this piercing since there's a good chance that something vital could be damaged, but all in all I felt very comfortable with Sid poking around in my privates.
After I asked to be pierced with a 12g rather than his standard 14g CBR for triangles, we went into the piercing room where I had been several times before. Mel came with me to hold my hand, and after I took my pants off and climbed into the gyno-like stirrups, I grabbed onto her and held for dear life.
I have never been so nervous before a piercing as I was that day. After Sid looked at my anatomy and decided that I was, indeed, suited for this piercing, he got out his little toothpick and marking ink and proceeded to mark me up for about 5 minutes. The fact that he was being so cautious in finding out all the details of my anatomy so he didn't screw up really calmed my nerves, although I can't say I really enjoyed him poking around my clit with a tiny, pointed piece of wood. Mel was talking to me the entire time, trying to keep my mind off what was about to happen, and I thank her dearly for that now. She understands the pain of a genital piercing, so she knew what to do to keep me calm.
After getting marked up, I realize now that Sid never asked me if he had the marks where I wanted them to be. I guess I assumed that since he knew what he was doing and Mel had been watching him the whole time, that it would be the perfect triangle of my dreams. More on that later...
I knew the time was coming close because he was opening all the tools in their autoclave packets, so I grabbed Mel's hand tighter and braced myself for what I though would be the most excruciating pain of my life. I tried to concentrate more on not jumping or twitching, which I am prone to do when being handled down there. I remember him holding the needle at the entry point for quite a while as he waited for me to get my breathing under control, then he just shoved it through. Not quickly, I might add, he took his time being careful not to damage me. It probably took him 15 seconds to get the needle through, which seemed like a lifetime.
After he got the jewelry in and everything, I didn't feel much pain, and I can honestly say that the piercing itself didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, it definitely hurt more than any other pain I've had in my life, but all in all it wasn't that bad. I do remember my thighs were trying to chatter like teeth on a cold winter day, but as soon as I stood up, I didn't feel a thing.
I took a quick peek in a mirror, everything looked okay, and I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I tipped Sid on my way out and thanked him for being so professional and giving me aftercare instructions, and we were off.
I cleaned it pretty much as he recommended, liquid Phisoderm and saline washes. I only cleaned it once a day instead of the recommended twice, but it definitely healed up nicely in about 2 weeks.
As I got my courage up to actually look at it up close and examine/play with it, I noticed that the placement wasn't exactly where I thought it would be. It was actually up quite high in relation to my clit and not behind much of the shaft as I had expected. It didn't enhance sensation at all; it was merely decorative. I showed Mel, my piercing expert, and she said the same thing. Oh well, I chalk that up to me being really stretchy down there and his markings were a little misplaced because of that fact. I still really enjoy having this little secret piercing of mine and fully intend to get another one with better placement relatively soon so I can try to enjoy things like I wanted to with this one. I plan on stretching this one just a bit, probably up to 10g, and putting a straight barbell in it so when I get my next one done with a CBR, there will be little interference.
A wonderful experience altogether! Thanks Sid!
